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 report on the merger and the on-air guy asked
the reporter if the current receivers would would after the merger and the
reporter said both Sirius and XM said they would not.

$700!!!

That's pretty steep. Then you pay $13/mo subscription.

Does "trailer" refer to where you live? JK. You can buy a kit for
around $250.00-$300.00 and take apart your car to install it yourself
or just buy an XM roady for $99.00 and have a module stuck on your
dash somewhere.
