Mandingo Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 V1 from my previous BMW X5 was wired in to the sunroof power supply. Anyone have idiot-proof instructions how to do this in an 04 LS430? Advice appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Mandingo, I always hate to see questions go completely unanswered and I hope that some LS430 owners will chime in. You might try providing more information on where you expect to mount your V1 and from where in your car you would like to pick up power. If you are wanting to mount your V1 near the front edge of your sunroof, there are plenty of hot wires above the dome light assembly. I don't have an LS430, but the entire domelight/sunroof switch assembly in my 2000 LS can be easily dropped after removing the lens and then a few screws holding the assembly to the roof. I had mine off last week while planning for the placement of my Nokia's microphone. You would need a test light to identify a hot wire and some small "scotch lock" or similar connectors to connect the V1's wires to the existing wires. Have you considered asking your Lexus dealer's service department for help? Some are very helpful and, after all, you car is under warranty.

Mandingo Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Thanks for the response. I intend to use the hot wires in the overhead console - I will take the console down this weekend and try to find suitable wires that are on with ignition. Thanks!
