Archie Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 We bought new in 95 a LS 400. It now has 76K miles on it. The radio from day one has been the pits. AM never did work and FM sounds like a Pinto radio. At the time I didn't worry about it because I sometimes install after market radios. Little did we know that this radio fits only a Lexus and there were no after market units. So after 10 years as anyone developed a kit or method for getting a decent radio installed? Side note-- Just replaced the brakes based on advice I got here. DIY cost me about $130 for parts. Very easy to do front and back. Thanks to everyone for their help. Now a Grrr for Lexus. The pad indicator light doesn't tell which wheel or front or back. Also while I'm at it the door open light works the same way. Light on-- Guess which door? I wonder if the 430 has corrected this. You would think in a car this expensive it would give more info. I expect perfection but Lexus only advertises the pursuit of same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 There's an aftermarket radio installation kit available at http://www.sfxaudio.com Click on "shop" then click on installation accessories. The kit is a perfect fit and is very clean compared to the ones I've seen on Ebay. http://www.lexls.com has a tutorial on how to replace your stock headunit with an aftermarket stereo.
