Most Lexus dealerships can install it. You might also call around to stereo installation shops.

Being in rural Vermont of all places with beautiful car like this...the closest Lexus dealer to me in 2.5 hours away. I called them and they suggested I go through their third party vendor who specializes in these types of installations. I have contacted him and trying to nail down a quote for install. He's thinking 4 to 6 hours at $88.00 an hour. Does that sound right?

Yep if you're doing the rear windows and shock sensor. You can cut down on his labor costs if you do some of the work...i.e. remove and reinstall panels yourself, if your doing the rear windows, removing the rear seat and driver side interior quarter panels. The things I mentioned will save 1.5 to 2 hours if the installer is unfamiliar with the car.

I didn't opt for the rear quarter mod or the shock sensor, but I can certainly remove door panels as I need to silicone my front door speakers anyway. I can also remove the lower kick plate, kick panel, and lower steering wheel panel. That way all he has to do is run and connect wires. That way I can also ensure the panels come off properly!

Thanks!

With just the LL you're correct. The kick panel under the steering wheel, drivers door panel, and drivers side kick panel, loosened up to work some wires through the opening for the door boot.

Good luck to you.

Can we please some pics taken during your dismantling process?

We can use these to create a comprehensive DIY on the LL install. I volunteer to get this DIY together. But kudos to VVTiBob who has done much of it already.
