The attached not-so-helpful diagram shows the amp being somewhere in the rear of your vehicle. I remember from long ago forum threads that the amp was under or behind a trim panel in the rear of a U.S. market RX300 and apparently it's in a similar location on a RHD RX. I definitely remember that people have found a radio mute pin on the amp of the early U.S. market RX and attached their phone kit's mute wire to it.

I did a Google search on "RX300 mute lead" and found several companies in the U.K. including this one that sells them for a 2001 RX300: http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/autoleads-sot926-lexus-19992004-toyota-parrot-lead-p-9547.html . £14.99 seems very inexpensive to simplify the install of your Parrot. Besides muting your radio during a phone call, most mute leads supply power and ground to a phone kit and route the phone call audio through the door speakers.

The amp is located between the rear seats and the spare tire. I just got to it this last weekend. It can be a little tricky to get to, but you can do it. Here is a link to the topic on this forum where a guy did the same thing.

Hope this helps!
