Default New owner of a 03' ES300 but want to install Bluetooth. Mute possible?

OK, this is my first post and, just for the record, I have searched the forums but I haven't come up with much but a post from 1-14-08 that wasn't too encouraging on the subject. I just basically need to know if the 03 ES300 with standard radio has a mute cable/connection (or prewired phone connection) to get the radio to mute when the phone rings. From what I read, it seems like there's an issue with Lexus wiring that keeps this from being plug and play. Ultimately I'd like to just have a hardwired kit that will mute the radio and preferrable play through the radio speakers but if that's not possible, I'd be fine with a separate speaker for the phone kit.

I'd like to hear other's solutions to add bluetooth to their ES300's as well. I'm looking for the simplest and cleanest solution. This is my wife's car and the only thing she wants to see is the little control module. Haven't decided on a Parrot or other kit. May go with an old simple Ericsson kit that comes with a speaker. Whatever will integrate best.

Default Uh, I know I'm the new guy but it seems like I'd get flamed...

for asking a model specific question about electronics on a general car chat forum. I didn't read any threads like this over there.

If you don't get any helpful responses in this forum, you might want to try the Audio, Video, Security, and Electronics forum.
