Dash Upgrade for 2000 Lexus RX300
Dear Forum,
I just purchased a 2000 Lexus RX300 with 36,000 miles. Beautiful vehicle.
I am thinking about upgrading the stereo and climate controls to a slightly more modern system.
Has anybody installed a Metra dash kit system like the one shown at this link: http://metraonline.com/part/99-8164T . This seems really cool as the Metra system separates the climate controls from the stereo. They have designed a new touchsceen with several additional "hard" buttons to control the a/c and heat and integrated this touchscreen into the dash. Then you go out and purchase the stereo system of your choice, probably a 2 DIN with touchscreen, and install it to replace the old climate and stereo controls.
There is a pretty good video on YouTube showing the installation:
.
Is there anybody on the forum that has installed one of these kits? Any opinions about doing this or not doing this?
TIA,
--Neal
