  1. Yo... Just put a USA SPEC iPod Interface into my 2001 Lexus GS300 w/ navigation, and had to take out the radio. Very easy to do yourself. No more than 10-15min job the first time you do it. You can go to this site www.carstereoremoval.com and pay $5 for these same directions. Get them right here on Lexus Owners Club for free. 1) Open ash tray cavity, grasp inside upper edge of cavity and gently pull ash tray assembly forward releasing clips. All clips release with pressure. Disconnect connectors. 2) Gently pry clock and A/C vent assembly from dash releasing clips. Grab this piece as best you can with one hand and pull, while you use a small flat head screwsdriver to pry. Pry a little bit in different places and it will come right out. Disconnect connectors. 3) There are two bolts above the navigation/radio unit, and two below. Unscrew them all, and gently pull the radio/navigation out. That's all there is to it. The USA SPEC iPod Interface (PA-TOY15 w/ CAS-LEX cable) was $160, and well worth it. Had to call into tech support for a quick question, and the homie Joe over there was most helpful. Very easy installation. Very happy. I paid $5 for the cords that plug into the PA-TOY15 to allow for an auxillary cord. Now I can play an iPod or my smartphone through my system.
  2. A couple cats put together some very nice, step by step, with pictures on how to remove back seat in order to get to subwoofer. I thought my sub was blown forsure, until I hopped on here and did some research. Turns out you can fix the sub simply by using a glue gun around the perimeter of the speaker/cone. I just fixed my sub on my 2001 Lexus GS 300, and now it works just fine. Big ups to the cats who put these intructions together, y'all are lifesavers!!!! Just want to spread the good will. This one shows how to remove back seat: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46410 This one shows how to remove back panel to get to subwoofer (you have to remove back seat first): http://bananags.grantham-international.com/GS_DIY/rear_deck/ Once you get to the sub, use a glue gun, and hit all around the perimeter of the speaker/cone. This will fix the problem, as the cone around the speaker rips really easy, and the glue will create an air tight seal. Good luck! Took me about 1 1/2 hours to take back seat out and fix sub, and only 20-30min to put everything back together.
