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?

Please don't ask for "personal" help via email. We all benefit when a problem is discussed on the open forum. Thanks.

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.

#14 of 14 Satellite on 2009 LX470 by prestontrader

I just bought a certified 2009 Lexus GX470. I purchased a satellite radio to be added to the car. The satellite radio sounds awful in the car (it has the Mark Levinson stereo), changes channels by itself and takes about 4-5 seconds to change between stations. They have replaced the interface twice and we still get the same results. The tech doing the work the last time told me that they make a Toyota/Lexus integrated system that would fix this. Does anyone know anything about this? The Lexus dealer is telling me the one they put in was the 'authorized' system but I really don't believe them.
 
Also, what year did they start putting the 'fin' transponder on the GX's?
 
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
