I have recently bought a Connects2 Lexus USB Adapter with inputs for aux & SD card (CTALXUSB002).
It's supposed to be plug and play via the 5+7 pin CD changer's port. But my factory head unit does not have that port. Altough the car does have a CD-changer behind the glovebox.
Have any of you encountered the same problem? Is there any other aux adapters that will work on my car?
The car is a 1998 Lexus GS300 with navigation system, CD changer etc.
I see. If none of the plugs fit your unit, it must be the wrong adaptor. I haven't used the one you bought, but I do have a similar product installed in my 02 with Mark Levinson & navigation.

I have been searching on google for hours. All the adaptors I can find for 98-05 GS have this 5+7 pin connector. But the head unit in my car doesn't have that for some strange reason.
That's why I turned to ClubLexus as a last resort.
In some Toyota / Lexus / Scion vehicles the CD changer port is occupied with a factory harness (such as NAV or audio harness). The GROM package for Toyota includes a Y shaped vehicle cable. In order to connect interface properly please follow to the scheme below.
Perhaps such a thing is available from the company you used as well.
