This install was the exact repair I made, very easy but you'll need to pay close attention to the directions included with unit.

I was lucky...there was not a busted piece. The sections of the antenna were frozen together. I was able to pull it out by unscrewing the holding bolt and turning the radio on. Putting the new one in was not hard, just turn off the radio while holding the end in place. I used a utube video to show how. I did have to cut an inch off the cable as the replacement was a bit too high.

I had someone install it. It did come with step by step directions. Also you can go on the Lexus forums, they have a lot of very helpful information including how to install your mast. Good Luck.

you have to take the antenna motor out of the car. Then get the busted piece out of the motor I left it hooked up and let the motor pull it in by turning the radio off.

Yes, very simple installation just plug in and go, the hardest part will be installing the antennae itself, getting it lined up with existing hole in fender, scew the top nut on and then install bracket that will give it support. the rest is just plugging in the antennae to back of your existing radio, ground your black wire to the body anywhere convientthen splice into your existing power to radio usually red wire and your set to go.

I installed one in my RX 300 and the only adjustment that I had to make was cutting the plastic gear track to the length on the one that I had removed. I tried installing it as it was out the package but it would not fully retract until I cut it to the proper length. It has been installed for about six months and I recently had to spray the antenna with WD 40 as the antenna would not fully retract. Worked fine after being sprayed.

The antenna should unscrew. You may need to use a pair of pliers to loosen it. Try wrapping a rag around the new one so you don't damage it with the pliers teeth. Only snug it. Don't crank on it because you could strip the threads out.

You simply take the existing antenna connection behind the head unit and connect to the adapter and then connect the adapter to the head unit.

The mounting plate/base isn't wide enough to accommodate 2" U-bolts. The stock u-bolts that come with the antenna will take up to 1.5 inch pipe. It would be easy to drill up and add a wider base plate if you need to use larger mounting u-bolts. Probably easier to use a stub piece of pipe that will nest in your larger pipe as a reducer and use the existing mount and u-bolts. That's what I've done.

I used the antenna wire that came with the radio. I ran the wire the entire length of the dashboard and the last three inch I turned it at an angle. Reception is perfect

You connect it to the antenna as close as possible. Mine is at the bottom of the antenna mast.

The one I purchased included the GXM 30 antenna. It was for the GPS and XM radio. That's where the initials for the antenna come from. Good luck

Good morning, It is NOT installed on the antenna but the mast supporting the antenna. My understanding after contacting CM Techs (1 877 746 7261) was to minimize the connector distance from the antenna connection to the mast mounted amplifier. Mine is installed 18" below the antenna on the mast.

Yes, it will fit. You will need the proper mounting kit, wiring harness, and antenna adaptor to make it work. All three of them you can find on amazon for somewhere between 20.00 to 25.00.

You will need one that is no longer in production. If you plan on adding sirrus I high recommend you purchase a unit that is Sirius/XM ready the antennas for this unit (if you can find ) are crazy expensive and out dated

The mounting bracket that the antenna screws into needs to be GROUNDED..to the vehicle if not clamped to metal on the vehicle. Your answer is YES, you need a good ground on the bracket or mount that the antenna screws into! Hope this helps..Paul

Not really. Each part came with its own instructions but there wasn't really a full set. I found several online but ended up just installing in dash (behind radio) and running the included antenna to the back windshield. It was not too difficult at all. I wanted to use the Shark Fin that is on my 2009 Lexus IS250 but it was for XM and the radio I bought was for Sirius.

Oh I thought you were asking about the loop antenna. I don't know where to get a manual. try google

There are two parts to the amplifier assembly. (1) mast amplifier, and (2) power supply interface/indoors amplifier. The mast amplifier mounts directly to the antenna mast, as close to the antenna as possible and connects to the antenna through an impedance matching transformer. Then the power supply interface/indoors amplifier mounts indoors, close to the television and connects to the mast amplifier through an RG-6 coax and to the television through another RG-6 coax, and also plugs into a wall outlet.The provided instructions are good.
