LS400 1999 with factory Nav Question
Hello All,
I am happy to have an LS400 again. 144k miles owned by a Grandma that did all the services and maintenance! I lucked out.
I am wondering if anyone know's the easiest way to get an AUX-IN going. I know I can buy a tape aux-in, but I'd prefer something hardwired in if possible.
The dealership left an XM radio device in the car, but none of it is aux-in. I will post a picture later.. I have never seen the type of connection (pipe dream maybe it'll be a simple fix).
I am not above removing stuff and soldering (I've seen this done on youtube).
Thank you!

This method may be a bit above removing stuff and soldering but I hardwired the L and R input ports as are shown below for my 98 Celsior's navi board.
You can find it more at here. As far as I did experiments, this method provided me a far better audio quality compared with using a cassette adapter or a FM transmitter.

Factory Radio Service in Rancho Cucamonga CA installed an aux-in on the back of the Nakamichi in the 2000 LS400 I owned for 11 years. He's also done it for others on this forum but I don't know if he does it on LS400 nav units. Here's my thread about it from 2012: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...000-ls400.html
He advertises that he can also install Bluetooth A2DP and phone hands-free but again I don't know if he can do it on a nav unit. I was totally satisfied with the quality and quick turnaround.
