To quote the FAQ from xmradio.com: "You'll be able to use the exact
same radio you are listening to now, after the merger takes place and
for the life of the radio."
http://www.xmradio.com/merger/news.xmc
There are two choices for you which work directly through your audio
system: a factory kit and and the soundlinq aftermarket kit. Either
would work fine, but I'd check with your local Lexus dealer for a
price quote as I'm sure it varies by region. Plan on spending around
$700+, though.
OK, hopefully that will still hold true. What I heard came from a local
news radio station that did a re****t on the merger and the on-air guy
asked
the re****ter if the current receivers would would after the merger and the
re****ter said both Sirius and XM said they would not.
