You have my respect…and Dad’s too!

You are a HERO! I looked into doing this on my pristine 2006 SC430 but chickened out. Instead, I burned 6 custom CDs with a bunch of my favorite tunes. And I bought this little $15 gizmo from Amazon that interfaces with my iPhone via Bluetooth and allows my iTunes collection to play via the FM radio. And I bought another little gizmo for $10 that allows my iPod to interface via the cassette deck & bluetooth. Hey- it works fine and I didn't have to tear the nice Japan-assembled workmanship apart. For the times I use it- touring the Sonoma-Napa wine country and coast roads- it works just fine.

I have a 2004 LS 430, and I have a setup similar to yours. The brand I use is called VAIS Technology. My unit is about half of the size of your unit, from looking at this video. I used high quality 3M double sided tape and tape the unit below the glove box. You cannot see it, unless you stick your head in & look up. 2004 LS 430 only has one glove box, and I believe it is bigger than LS 430 from year 2001-2003. In 2004, when the LS 430 was sold at the dealership, Lexus dealership used VAIS Technology as an aftermarket option if you want to install XM Satellite Radio. Years later, when the iPhone came out, VAIS Technology came up with this unit uses Bluetooth. I have my unit installed (by myself) for over a decade now and it is still working flawlessly. I can listen to music from my iPhone or iPad through my Mark Levinson speakers. Same thing for making phone call or answering phone. From this video, your unit seems to be much bigger than my unit. I still get the Lexus logo on the screen when start up the engine. I like your shift knob. Where did you buy that? Thank you. Love your channel. You always share great information.

I absolutely want to see more projects. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series on this, and I thoroughly enjoy your videos in general. Keep up the amazing work AMD and team!! My only regret is that I live too far away to bring my Lexus to you for all its maintenance needs. At the moment I only have 27,000 miles but the things I’m learning from you are invaluable. Blessings from Texas.

Love watching the channel. Always useful good information. I am now the proud owner of a 2001 Camry LE with 158k miles only. Never an accident. Never any paint correction. Meticulously maintained with just about every maintenance record and even the original window sticker. The vehicle had a factory installed rust corrosion undercoat package installed. It is truly a rare find and great vehicle. I am in the process of replacing the water pump and you know what that involves.

Love your channel, @Car Care Nut! I hope you do videos on all the preventive maintenance on your wife's GX 460. Also, why did you replace your headlights with non-OEM instead of polishing out your OEM headlights? I assume your detailer does that frequently. Thanks!

*They are same-generation, genuine Toyota Celsior lights. Light from both inside lens and from the sun is UV-fat and hammers the surfaces. Polishing, "restoration", etc. removes external UV-protective surface but does nothing for inside surfaces, making that a non-starter unless you're gonna flip the ride. EPA sez liquid coatings cannot contain methyl methacrylate, therefore none can bond properly with UV damaged Lexan. Some PFP stretch wraps have UV inhibitors but they all look like $hit after six months. You do it right by replacement every 5-10 years with correct OER or if NLA, high-quality aftermarket housings from reputable Vendors. Made in Taiwan is great, Made in China notsomuch. Else, look like a slob-owner. If you care, there is no in between.*

Simple things like these sure make a HUGE difference! Great Job

Why did you chose to not just refinish the existing headlights?

*Because yellowed, UV-blasted 20 year old headlamps are never worth the time and effort. In reality, none ever are. Cheers!*

I’m amazed you got it all apart and back togetherness again. I’ve had some experience on 98’Lincoln Mark VIII and invariably certain clips would break because plastic gets old and brittle. Thank you for sharing your story of restoring a 600,000 mile Lexus 430.

AMD your videos on the restoration of the LS is amazing! Can’t wait for the final drive when everything is completed and updates on the future of the LS430 to the million miles!

I love your enthusiasm as you restore this LS 430. It is truly a beautiful automobile and I am happy that you own it. I am so glad I found your channel as I have been a Toyota man since 1986. I look forward to your next video. Thank you.
