Fotodad,
I and the salesman where I bought the SLE were both under the impression that the car would be delivered with XM radio installed. When I took delivery and got it home I called XM to set up the subscription and found out that XM was an additional option. Needless to say I was a little po'd to find this out after the fact. Just so happened that there was a Lexus dealer next door and they had already done a couple installations. The XM radio is built into the Nav system. Has 3 separate channels and reception and sound quality are great!!! I am a musician also and I have been very impressed with the quality of the programming and the variety with the system. If you have a Nav system there is an AM/Sat button on the system. Once you turn on the Satellite via the mode button on the steering wheel or the AM/Sat button, you can use any of 3 satellite stations or you can tune any of them you want to preseleceted stations. I don't have any pics of it yet. Matter of fact, today I just installed a wood dash kit I had ordered a couple weeks ago. Really adds to the appearance. I had done the same thing with the 99 I had and it really made a difference. I will be away from my pc here for a couple weeks beginning Sat 12/27. but can respond to any questions after I return on 1/12.
I hope I answered your questions here if not I'll be checking back until Saturday morning.
Best Regards,

SLE V6 w/Nav System & XM
Oct 04
I recently traded in a 1999 SLE - V6 for a 2004 SLE w/ Nav system and XM radio. So far it has completely met expectations. Only 2300 Mi since Oct. But will be taking a 3000 Mi. trip in a few days and should have a lot better idea by the end of the 1st week in January. Have to say I was also satisfied with the '99 but wanted to upgrade as the new model was released.
