So, in the next week or two, as a college graduation present I'll be inheriting my dad's 2003 ES300. I have a couple questions for you guys who have experience with Lexus', and this model/year in particular. First, the car has the 6cd changer...I don't believe it has the Mark Levinson system, though. Can anyone tell me the specs of the audio system that's standard? Second, it seems that no new head unit can be put in without a custom solution. Will a new head unit give me better sound quality, or is that solely what an amp and new speakers would be for? I'm looking to use cds, an mp3 player, and a Sirius radio (already installed by Best Buy), and I would really like a new head unit with aux in and usb key playback. However, I really can't afford right now to be spending a ton. If anyone can tell me if there's an easy solution to this, itd be helpful. Finally, (for now) is there any way to improve the sound from the Sirius? To me, it sounds tinny and weak, even compared to FM.
Thanks!

k, already have another question...If I wanted to have the navigation system added to my car, any idea of how much that would run me to have it done by Lexus? Also, just checking, does Lexus itself offer any newer head unit with aux input that can be added to the 2003 ES300? Do I have the option of having the Mark LEvinson audio system installed now? Any idea on what that would cost? My ultimate goal is to have a head unit with the aux, usb slot, new amp, speakers, and sub...I'm an audiophile, and moving from a 94 Camry with a broken cd player to this is big; I want it to sound amazing.
Thanks again!
