Maruzo Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi all! I have a 2003 RX300 with the standard 6 disc cd changer sound system. I'm thinking of adding a RF/ radio modulated MP3 changer so i can listen to mp3 songs easily. Does anyone has any experience opening up the console? Or knows where to look for 12V power feeds ? i'm thinking about bolting down the new changer right under the front passenger's glove compartment, but that space has a very sponge material that seems to act as a cushion for passenger's feets. I'm not sure if i'll be able to secure the changer at the location. Any suggestions are welcome. TIA! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus_romeo Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I like what maruzo's suggesting. I dont think I would want to go so far as he says [personal opinion.] Maybe I dont take enough risks :-) I've got the 6disc Nakamichi, 99RX300. I wanted to know if anyone has an MP3 / radio transmitter, or something to that effect. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maruzo Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 It's definitely doable. the only question is how. I've done similar work on a mercedes and a bmw. The process is pretty much the same: determine the location for your new unit, open up the necessary panels along the way to lay in your wires, find wires that'll supply power to your unit, hook up everything and put back the panels. It's more of a challenge if you've never done it, but the more you try, the easier it gets. Of course, you can always get your local radio shop to do it for ya, shouldn't cost more than 50~100 bucks for the installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trpl7 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I use the hand held neuros 20gig mp3 player that comes with a built in FM transmitter($199). Works great and I can take it where I want. www.neuros.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiphd Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I looked at that link and I get a turbo engine research. Don't seem to see what you are showing regarding the MP3 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muralin Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 i dont care about my 6-CD changer. waste of money. all my music is on a 20GB Apple iPOD. i have an FM transmitter for my iPOD. quality is pretty poor (FM quality). plus, when i drive from san diego to LA, i have to change frequencies 2-3 times due to interference from regular FM stations. all I need is an audio jack. I am willing to trash the CD changer. is there anyone who can add an audio jack? Local Lexus people were clueless... cant believe i paid $1000+ for a worthless 6CD changer. wish lexus would add an aux jack to the sound system.
