AMD, you are a true mechanical craftsman. My Dad was a Master Mechanic on diesel heavy vehicles who cleaned off every part and tool he touched.

You have my respect…and Dad’s too!

Thank you for bringing the memory of him putting in the labor to restore this. ..And pls continue the series for this LS after winter.

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.

*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.*

I installed a similar radio interface unit in a 2011 Rav4 for my son along with high speed USB chargers, upgraded the speakers (the original OEM really bite) and added sound proofing (Noico). Now that old Rav4 with 200,000km is the car I really would've liked when I was a kid - and my 17 yr old son sure loves it especially as he beat a HIghlander with a 2 GR-FE V6 (he's got the 2 AR-FE). All of that is because of AMD - and me watching too many of his youtube videos. Big kudos !
