Has anyone integrated either the Pioneer Card Deck interface or the more expensive (twice the price) Monster Icruze systems into their Lexus RX300 sound system? Anyone have any issues or concerns as I don't want to risk !Removed! up my entire electrical system - AC included. I have a CD changer currently in my sound system and would like to integrate the Ipod into my factory system--- the cassette adapater is not that great and ITrip doesn't work very well in Southern CA. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1108124556353 Thanks, Julie

I am considering buying a Used Lexus RX300 with anywhere between 40K and 60K in mileage for around $19K-$23K (probably a 2000 or 2001). I'm still shopping for one and have read a large number of the postings on this site. Considering that issues posted may reflect a small number of afflicted cars versus the majority (Ie: transmission issues on the AWD), I am weighing how much to take into account the known issues, versus taking the issues with a grain of salt, recognizing they could be issues that afflict any number of cars made by any manufacturer regardless of model.... Does anyone have actual stats on how many cars this has affected? At the end of it all, would most of you buy a RX300 and would you say its a reliable car that requires little maintenance? Or will be taking this car in for servicing issues frequently after 75K? Is this car going to last 150K miles should I choose to drive it that long? Am I better off buying a used 4Runner--does anyone know of known issues of the 4Runner vs the RX? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
