hi everyone, so my 2007 ls460 doesn't have an aux input. instead, it has this rca input where i have to plug in a red, white, and yellow cable like in the picture below.



Is it possible for me to take out the rca input and replace it with an aux instead like the one in the link below?


Thanks

If you search this forum, you will see a couple of posts from folks with no aux input jack or phono input jacks on some early LS460s.
Why not just use the adapter you show?

I have the same RCA input and nothing happens when I plug the RCA to 3.5mm aux cable. Has anybody gotten it to work?

I've noticed an increase of odd questions from people with 1 post. That plug pictured is for video and audio, like tv screen. Trolls?

Have you tried something like this

RCA Female to 3.5mm Female Mini Jack Stereo Splitter Audio Y Adapter Cable

I saw RCA plugs in a car when a auto electrician had installed hand-made aftermarket aux and routed into back of CD player. Try playing music through your AUX and push the CD numbered buttons until you hear what you are playing. Also try with just the red and white ones pugged in.
Although agree that with above comment - RCA plugs (especially the yellow one) is usually for video output .. weird. Maybe someone had a playstaion or something in there ??

If you don't have an aux input, they make inexpensive FM transmitters that work wonderfully. Way better than than they used to be. Just bought one for one of my kids--for $20, you get aux, bluetooth, sdcard (for MP3s) and speakerphone. Can't beat it. Just find an unused FM frequency for where you live in tune it to that channel. There's a million different ones on amazon, but here's the one I bought for my young driver:

Do you find yourself having to crank up the volume when using the FM transmitter? I have one in my car and maybe it's just the quality of the transmitter but I have to crank my volume up to about 30-35 in order to hear the music streaming from my phone onto the BT transmitter.

The one I bought has a volume control, and when turned up all the way seems pretty good. I haven't used it in the Lexus though.

If you have the AUX jack, you need to put the Audio system in AUX mode for it to work...
