As the OEM-amplifier is extremly wimpy...even when compared to "small" the integrated amps in todays headunits...you are definately better off bypassing the OEM amp, yes

 

i kno im bringin this back from the dead..but i tapped the reverse wire to the pink/blue at the tail light and my navi seems twacked out!..the navi shows my car moving sideways instead of straight or backwards..and the arrow isnt pointed straight up at all times..anyone know the reason for this? is it the reverse wire not tapped enough? the speed im traveling seems accurate..but its just the arrow on the navi screen is weird and sometiems it takes me in circles..help appreciated..thanks in advanced

 

Hey where did you purchase your double din dash kit? Does it come OEm style like that? or did you paint it?

 

very niiice

 

This may be a really dumb question, but before i blow anything just wanted to make sure. The OP connected, Power, ACC, and Ground using the Metra 70-8113 2000-up Toyota / Lexus (http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1207081...&tp=2977&avf=N) Harness - to the connector of the stock stereo.

I was under the impression that connector was connected to our amp. Does it not matter?

THanks!

 

am i the only one that doesn't see the pictures? i'm looking for the VSS signal wire and i can't seem to find it.

 

Pictures were from 2007. He was probably using a hosting service and the subscription expired.

 

Boss, do an "AVIC" search on the photo gallery. I posted a pic for that wire.

 

(Instead of clipping the RCA cables off the Metra wire harness) You can't just plug in the Metra RCA cables to the Audio Front and Audio Rear on the AVIC d-3? Someone told me to do that but for some reason I still get no sound even doing this. Navigation, music, EVERYTHING works, just no sound.

 

yiu guys can get all the parts u need for these installs at www.thebettersource.com and when u place ur order put club lexus in the notes and ill get u a 10% discount

 

any way to revive the pics? ive been searching for DIY to do this install :/

 

Does anyone have the pics from this post? I am finally trying to swap out a navi to aftermarket navi, and the pics would be very helpful. Anyone else who has something to add, please PM me - I'm about to go in deep-

 

^ same here! hope some1 would update the pics!

 

looks great so far buddy

 

I guess there is no hope for reviving these pics? I have a pioneer navi sitting in my garage collecting dust until i figure out how i am to install it.
