they wont fix it because whoever worked on it before hacked into the stock head unit and lexus wont touch it. they recommend i take it to tweeter for them to try and fix it. they also offered to replace my stock pioneer head unit for the cheap price of $1450 + labor

apparently the tech took a pioneer radio out of another car and hooked it up and it worked just fine, about to leave for the dealership to pick up the car and find the tech to actually talk with him instead of my service rep

talked to the tech and got a little insight but not much, at least i got my car washed for $117.50, i just gotta tell myself it was detailed LOL
seriously though he recommended finding out the previous owner and giving him a call to see where he took the car to be hooked up with aftermarket stuff. once i know that i can take the car back and either get them to fix it for free or remove all the stuff for free.
i could also just get a new stock pioneer head unit for the measly price of $1400 or go aftermarket, i'd say im leaning towards aftermarket
he didnt know what the antenna on the roof was hooked up too either

want to give big props to suge66 for hooking me up with a new radio at a good price 
turns out the head unit was the culprit and i had been lead down a dark road by taking off the back pillar and thinking it was a connection at the glass
the radio had markings on the top with a phone # and a service sticker on the bottom
thanks everyone for the help, this place is the best
