MikeBGS300

I just picked up my new 2009 ES350 yesterday and would like to install the Sirius receiver that I pulled from my 2006 GS300 before returning it off lease.

The GS had the unit mounted in the trunk next to the Mark Levinson system. I think I found the right place to plug the new unit in. It is on the passenger side of the rear quarter panel. Problem is, I don't have the cable. I thought it was in the car already to plug and play.

Can anyone help with the location of the unit and where I can get the harness? I have included a pic of the unit.

Thanks!

I live in rockland county, in pomona by the palisades mall

Aye i have a new gs300 2006 i wanted to know how many people have succesfully completed the dvd modification .

I performed the mod following the instructions posted on this thread when my car was three days old. It worked like a charm. Just make sure you cut the right purple wire, there are two.

If you follow the directions carefully, it works..... good luck and enjoy.

OK... looking at getting a fully loaded GS300 within the next week but I have a couple of questions:

1) I really like the look of 18" Tires but the sales rep says that the 18" tires have a rougher ride and that they "track" more on the freeway? Does anyone experience this? Is this noticable?

2) I want the ability to use my bluetooth cellphone and my car to be able to dial a number by voice... is this possible? The sales rep said no... that would make this car the only one not to be able to voicedial by number... infiniti...check...AUDI yes...

That's it...

Thank you.

Nope.... I picked up my car for Christmas 2005.... no voice dial capability.... booooooo!

Can't answer for the 18"s except that if you live in an area that has rough roads and potholes you should keep the number for your tire and rim repair shop on speed dial.

I performed the DVD / Bluetooth Phone Bypass earlier today on my 10 day old 2006 GS300 AWD.

I honestly went inside to just take a look around. Once I had the Nav unit pulled out and I saw how easy it was, I couldn't resist.

I grabbed the nippers, some solderless connectors, heat shrink tubing and went to work. I ran a ground wire to the lower left 10mm mounting bolt with a ring connector, tightened it all up and took a deep breath while stepping on the brake pedal and pressing the start button.

I was greeted by the Lexus welcome screen and then the screen display the attached image telling me that I had completed a sucessful mod!

I live in the Long Island area and would be happy to offer advice on performing this easy mod. I pulled out of the driveway, and dialed my house from the touchscreen while driving! Of course, my wife didn't quite understand why I was so happy. So I hung up and watched Batman Begins on DVD.

I live near Princeton. NJ and have a fully loaded 06 GS300 AWD. I would like to connect with you in Long Island to do this for me and I will pay a fee.

Glen,

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I am not sure I feel comfortable doing this to someone else's car.

If something went wrong I would feel horrible. I could not be responsible for anything like that.
