Lexus es300 radio install

I took the car to a local audio shop only to be told that to install any aftermarket unit, they would have to fill in all the holes on my dash face plate with something akin to bondo, cut new holes for the new stereo and then re-paint it.

I'm going to order the dash plate above, print out the directions and take it to a different store. Thanks for the info! It's real easy guys! U take out the temperature controll right out because it's held with just clips! But first remove the ashtray! Then there's two screws right under the radio u have to look real close cuz if not u won't see it! Then it should pull out slowly! Remove the plugs and the whole head unit should come right off!

I am really happy with the results. What you will need:. I also noticed about a millimeter gap between the top and bottom which I filled in with a piece of felt.. That's all you need to fit in a aftermarket navigation unit or double din stereo into a Lexus ES I installed a Pioneer F90BT. One thing I must say is that after the install, my factory sound system sounds MUCH better for some reason with a lot stronger base, as well. I guess this could be attributed to the new unit.

My unit came with integrated bluetooth and ipod so I have that in my car as well. It took me quite some time and a lot of phone calls to make sure all the parts would work especially since most of them don't list Lexus compatibility , but I can tell you that the parts listed above DID work for me in my Lexus ES I would like to ask, if I install the after market stereo my self by hard wiring method, so simply connect the corresponding wire as list above will do?

Nice summary I called up few local radio shops here in LA. Plus cost of kit. I mentioned that I can get the face plate and wire harness. They said that they will make their own kit and that would cost extra Is this the same as Trim piece Metra mentioned by "fatrixiiii"? I would recommend just typing in the numbers and find the parts on Amazon or Sonicelectronics. They are much cheaper there than at a best buy or retail store. If the link doesn't work just go to Metraonline.

The Lexus parts were expensive but it fit so nicely. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. Paste as plain text instead. Only 75 emoji are allowed. Display as a link instead.

Konig Posted July 20, Posted July 20, Posted November 22, Posted November 24, Posted December 26, The wiring diagram above is for wires that are coming form the factory amplifier.

If the stock amplifier has been removed or has been replaced then the wiring diagram doesn't apply to you. If your not getting readings between volts then I suggest you check you fuse. If your unit turned on congratulations! But you are far from done. This is part is a bitch to do. Its up to you on what to do with the ground. Here is the wiring diagram for the blue harness on the factory amp. Subscribe to: Posts Atom.
