Replying to: tomtomato (Feb 28, 2009 5:33 pm) XM radio sound quality is very poor   I think the blame lies with the Toyota Lexus audio systems. My GMC with Bose had XM and it was wonderful. As good as the CD quality and far better than FM or AM. I have a 2007 Seqouia Limited with JBL sound that is marginal at best. Cannot get an XM unit even though the dealer told me I could. The CD player skips on a regular basis and AM & FM are about the same low quality as any other car audio. Try the XM in a Cadillac and see if what I am saying is not so.

Replying to: gagrice (Mar 01, 2009 6:25 am) I have personally installed the Lexus XM radio in my earlier 2006 and current 2007 GX470. On both vehicles, the sound quality was as good as a CD or iPod.

Replying to: tomtomato (Feb 28, 2009 5:33 pm) Fortunately, I never got the XM radio in my 2008 GX470. Has anybody ever changed the head unit on the GX470 and replace it with a new custom head unit?

Replying to: bobs05coupe (Mar 06, 2009 11:45 pm) I am looking to install XM radio in my 2004 GX 470. I went to a Best Buy and talked to the installer. He said there is no decent place to install the radio anywhere on the dash. His only solution would be to use a suction cup bracket (a la Tom Tom or Garmin GPS) stuck to the left side of the windshield, which for security reasons would not be a great idea. Is that where yours is installed or did someone come up with a better solution for you? Replies to this message: bobs05coupe (May 31, 2009 10:11 pm)

Replying to: teeboman (May 16, 2009 12:37 pm) Please don't ask for "personal" help via email. We all benefit when a problem is discussed on the open forum. Thanks.

Replying to: smith34931 (Apr 17, 2009 7:08 pm) I installed the Lexus XM Radio kit on both the 06 and my current 07 GX. I don't believe the Lexus XM kit will work on earlier year GX vehicles.
