I have a Nakimichi CD changer in my glove compartment. Any of you guys think/know if it'll work if I swap the stock changer for an MP3 Nakimichi changer?

I just check the iPod adapter from www.vaistech.com and it's still $299.00.

The one for non-nav cars is $299. The one for cars with nav is $499:

I was wondering that too, both the group buy and if you can change out the factory 6 disc for a MP3 changer

I have an ipod $400 and an iTrip Transmitter for $35 that I used on my car. It's real easy to hook up and the sound is decent. Once you have the iPod connected to a station, u can just leave the ipod in the glove and keep driving.

No wires at all.

So the wiring is all done behind the dash! Nice and clean? This might be the way to go then. Thanks!!!

here is another good idea...

i got an ipod recently.. you can get any mp3 player and get one of those things to broadcast output from your mp3 player to fm radio and you can pick up that tune from your factory radio and listen it using your lexus's speakers..
