Removing Phone Cradle From 95 Ls

[flash213]

Has anyone removed the Lexus phone system under the armrest in a LS GenII? Is there a place to disconect the power supply to the cradle or is it safe to clip? Thanks for the input.

You might PM K9crew - he removed his phone cradle - I don't know if he snipped the wires or unplugged the connectors. He used to be very active in this forum but he has not been on since Feb 25.

It is not all that difficult to partially disassemble the console to unplug the handset from the connectors under the air vent that you can see when the console lid is up. I have not removed a Lexus phone but I used the phone system connectors under the rear of the console when I installed a Nokia phone kit in my 00 LS. The phone connectors were in the same place on the 90 LS I used to have so they are probably in the same place on your 95.

If your the handset in your 95 is located in an upper console tray, the tray insert can be easily pried out - it is just snapped in place. I used a stiff putty knife well taped with electrical tape to protect the upholstery.
