Thanks for info

Parrot makes an adapter now for 60 bucks

I have an I-phone so u had a great idea to

Use the voice dialing and have the buttons to

Make and hang up accessable and hide the screen

I've used the Parrot 3200 LS for 4+ years and it's still going strong. I put the display/controller in the little slide out box below the CD player, where it's actually hard to see, but when the car is moving I usually just use the buttons to receive or make calls.

There was no adaptor harness for the Parrot kits back then so I built my own, which was a huge PITA (as you will see from the post here. Since the install I've gone through 2 more Blackberries and I use the native Blackberry voice dial now (which has gotten really good). I also moved the mic to the preferred position above the rearview mirror.

The Lexus sound system is amplified and uses different plugs than a standard ISO installation so you need some kind of adaptor. I don't know how the harness interacts with the audio system so I don't know if you'll be able to use the iPod/Bluetooth streaming audio through the speaker system or not (for that I have a VAISTECH box that also has been going strong for 4+years). I think the Quickconnect harness also requires you to manually connect to an external speaker (which my complicated install does not).

The MKi kits are really good; we bought one for my dad a couple years ago and they work well with his iPhone. They are really good about releasing firmware updates to correct issues that crop up as phones get more and more complicated.

1990LS400 is right though you really should place the display somewhere that's easy to see; the Mki kits have a separate controller so that's easier. Good luck!

just inherited my fathers 2002 LS 430 with 30,000 miles on it. the car is a dream to commute in and gets way better gas mileage than my 4x4 tundra. The one feature my tundra has that i miss is the blue tooth, thru the stereo system. Best Buy says they can install a parrot system for about 400 dollars. Just wondering if anyone has installed the system on a 2002 ls . I dont want the interior all cut up. I think that I could hide a device in the ashtray, since i will never allow smokers to enter my cars. If you have had such a system installed , please let me know how it worked out for you. I want to avoid those 200 dollar fines for using my cell phone while driving

thanks ahead of time
