Sorry Dude, You are mistaken. There is NO Aux stereo mini jack input of any kind on the GS 350. I had to negotiate with my dealer to provide an add-on iPod integration kit. ...a MAJOR oversite in an otherwise great car.

I agree the GS dash is a bit of an anomaly. On one hand, like the rest of the car, it is thoughtfully designed, sophisticated and high tech. On the other hand the presence of a cassette deck and no Aux input is hard to explain. I purchased a fully loaded GS recently and was rather easily able to convince the dealer to throw in iPod integration at no cost in order to sell me thae car. Most dealers, if they are being honest, will admit that this is a significant oversight on an otherwise stellar vehicle. I think Lexus engineers would do the same as well. If enough people use this as a leverage point in their purchase decision it may be more likely to influence Lexus to do something about it sooner rather than later. (By the way one perhaps less than completely forthright dealer tried to explain this by indicating that the Mark Levinson stereo is so good that driving it with an iPod - which compresses music slightly and won't support surround sound - wouldn't do the system justice. If that is the case then they should omit FM and AM as well!! This same person tried to explain the cassette deck as something that many people still want for "books on tape". Hmmmm...)

I just paid $48,400 for a GS RWD - fully loaded with ML Stereo, Nav, 18" wheels, AFS, Park Assist, Sun Shade, Spoiler, Preferred Accessory Package, etc. Hope that helps.
