Replying to: tliebman (Dec 15, 2007 1:24 pm) The lower volume for XM must be a design flaw. My radio works the same way.

Replying to: johnymack (Aug 31, 2007 3:41 am) Which side panel next to the glove box did your friend remove to install Sirius? If you have a picture that would be great. Replies to this message: johnymack (Mar 06, 2008 4:16 am)

Replying to: lvarche (Mar 05, 2008 10:28 am) If you are looking at the glove box it is the side panel on the left. When you take this off you can then get behind the radio. If you want to e-mail me your phone number I can have my friend call you and walk you through it. The installment was very easy. Jm_proeyahoo.com

Replying to: johnymack (Aug 31, 2007 3:41 am) How do you remove the side panel next to the glove compartment to access the back of the radio?
#115 of 116 Sirius/XM Lexus unit versus VAIS by stlgasman Apr 22, 2009 (6:47 am)
I am interested in installing satellite in my ES 350. It will definitely be a do it yourself job. It seems the Lexus part is easier to install, only because of the precise instructions. The Lexus unit seems to have volume level issues. The VAIS unit requires access to the back of the radio. Does anybody know an easy wasy to remove the panel to the left of the glove box to access the back of the radio? Which unit type is recommended?
#116 of 116 2009 ES350 Satellite Radio Fustrations by smarty666 Jul 16, 2009 (7:19 am)
Suffice it to say that when I went to a lexus dealer to get a loaded 2009 ES350 at around $41375 and found out it didn't include satellite radio and they were going to charge me $899 added to the total msrp to bring the vehicle in and have them add something to the XM receiver and activate it that I was totally turned off and walked out of the dealership. For a car that costs over $40k not to come with sat radio in the price is totally outrageous and unacceptable; almost every other luxury automaker like Acura, Infiniti, Mercedes, and BMW, if your getting a car with bluetooth and navigation you get satellite radio with it. I mean my God, even the toyota camry when you get the DVD navigation system you automatically get satellite radio and that car costs around $30-32k. I even told that to the Lexus salesman and as usual he just sat there and had nothing to say. I was so shocked what the lexus dealer was going to do because I have a $34k Acura TL that came with satellite radio. Lexus is really out of the ballpark here on the ES and to make it even worse they were going to add a ridiculous amount to the msrp so in the end of the lease I would be paying for the sat radio 5-6 times what it even was worth. It shouldn't cost more than 200-300 dollars to do what they want for $899 and it should be something I could bring into the dealer after the fact and just pay the service department and not hose me for more money a month by adding it to the total msrp in attempt to jack the price of the car up; Lexus better get their act together because the other luxury automakers don't work this way and it totally turned me off and I really wanted the ES because it is a really nice looking and really well made vehicle - thats just my two sense
