VSGS400

Hey Guys,

If anyone has installed this unit in their car please let me know if you needed a special adapter for the 06 GS300 awd/dvd/Navi/6 disc/ w/ Mark Levinson package. They say to remove and plug in the 20 pin plug in to their harness but i have looked all over the back of the oem head unit and cant find a 20 pin plug anywhere... any feedback would be appericated.

Look at the "sticky" post at the top of the forum that says DVD Bypass is finally here. It shows pictures of how to remove the head unit and make the modification for that topic, but the pictures also show all of the connectors too. I did both the bypass and installed the Vais adapter, and everything was as described. The pictures in the bypass post really help. If you have an '06, I can't imagine your's being different?? Good luck!

thanks for the help...got it to work...did you have any trouble ith the ipod skipping(screen)... or with the controls on the screen?

Just intalled the VIAS IPOD adapter and did the DVD trick. It was easier than I thought and I am a Financial Planner. It was fun seeing what was behind the dash. Every thing came apart easier and went back together easier still. The only thing was that the VIAS instructions were not precise. The adapter was in the middle of the radio, instead of on the right. But you can't go wrong because the 3 clips will only clip into their mates as all three hook ups are different. I also put the VIAS into the glove compartment, as well as th IPOD as the directions say you may have to update the unit and to make it accessable.

Thank you all on this site for some great info on my allready great 06 GS300!

hey i know this was a while ago but when you installed the Vais ipod controller, did you find the 20 pin plug...i cant find it. I have Mark Levinson.

thanks!

So we just bought a used 2006 GS300 from a toyota dealer. 42,000 miles. It's a beauty and we love it. We still have the availability to purchase an extended warranty for $2000. We have to make up our minds by tomorrow.

Should we buy this? When we asked if there was any original warranty from Lexus, we were told the drivetrain warranty was the only thing still effective.

Opinions....

i bought it, saved me $1500 so far...i paid $1800 for the warranty...

the clip off my daytime light brok so the only way to get behind there is if i remove the front bumper...anyone have a how to...or where the bolts are??

thanks
