Hi Guys,

Just got a new IS350 with ML, NAV etc. etc.

I am in Surrey, BC and am missing my Sirius habit.

I know Lexus is having their issues with the factory part for Sirius. Can anyone recommend a good solution for an aftermarket setup for Sirius which is very neat and tidy?

I can drive down to Washington state and get it done in Seattle as well so if anyone has any pointers for shops in that area, I would appreciate it.

They specialize in true OEM integration without altering the existing factory audio/nav system.

Hey! Sorry to take so long to answering This.

In regards to Sirius. They do not have and never will have a stock module fot the IS models 2006 or 2007. They make one for XM but who cares about XM they will be part of Sirius soon enough.

The only way to go right now is to get the unit from Vais Tech. The units are now about 249.00 and plug perfectly int to satellite port in the back of your NAV. then all you have to do is buy the little Sirius receiver for 50.00 for and you are good to go. Everything (meaning text) will come up your NAV system perfectly. You can also buy a second Vais unit that you plug your Ipod directly into and it plugs into the changer port in the back of your NAV system too. This way your Ipod sounds like it's supposed to and stays charged. And yes the text will come up on your screen. It will not look like your ipod but they give you several choices for scrolling. No more 1/8" headphone jack connection that sounds like crap. Now you will have true digital quality from your Ipod. The units are both small enought to fit behind your NAV for a super clean install as well.

Hope this helped you

By the way....most places will install both Vais units, parts included for about 600.00
