Changing Lexus Gs Mk.2 Stereo To Aftermarket

[yoshi]

I'm considering buying a Lexus GS/Aristo Mk.2 without touchscreen.

That means it has a 2-din type double height stereo to be replaced.

Was considering replacing it with 2-din size unit from Pioneer / NAV/MP3/DIVX etc.

Will it just slot in or do I need some sort of fascia to go around the unit?

Hello Mate

Yes you do need to buy a install kit, got mine from the states.

simple to fit but you have to bypass the amp in the boot.

Have a look below

I have got the instructions - I think I can find them out and e-mail across if this will help.

All the best Paul.

Thanks for posting that up Paul!

Yeah I phoned an install place and they said I'd lose the amp probably and speakers also.

So I'm trying to get an Aristo with touchscreen. Otherwise I'd need to install a new system, amp at least.

Is your car 4-speaker or 7-speaker stereo?

Hello mate,

my system is the JBL 7 Speaker.

You won't lose your speakers all you need to do is find the wires leading to the amp from existing system.

Then from the Amp find the wires going to the speakers.

Remove amp and cut plugs off and match/join wires from system to amp wires, thus cutting out amp.

I made a note of wires etc I will find them out for you.

All the best Paul.

You want a diagram for an IS300 SC? Never heard of that model there is an IS300 and a SC430 plus what model year are you talking about.

It may help you to start a new thread,briefly introducing yourself and your car and then asking the question with a little more attention to the details mentioned above rather than resurect a 6 year old thread :D
