does anyone have the optima d34/78 yellow top in a 1st gen ls ? if so, did u have to do anything special for the standard terminals to fit ?

ok thats true.. but that means u have to burn a cd =$ put those songs back on your pc = time.. when u can download just about any song from limewire for FREE. and do what u feel with it .

the point was .! folks were saying they use wmp and real player to burn cds.. even saying they use itunes.. all bad ideas. (y) wmp , real , itunes, all want to sell u music while at the same time they want to stop u from sharing the music u buy.. so they all have different ways of adding some type of protection to their music files, cds, ect.. same thing goes for their software they try to stop u from doing what u want with it.. no cd text.. meaning if u have a compatiable cd player u can c the names of your songs on your head unit , u can combine songs meaning make 1 song 5 songs without pause, add soundfields , like jazz ,pop, rap, ect to each song if u choose.. these are just a few of the things that, software that is not affiliated with the music industry will allow u to do..such as nero, but there are many others out there.. as far was a wav file, no audio cd player will play a wave file.. unless otherwise stated..during the cd burn process whatever software u use is going to convert your file, to a cda file - compact disc audio.. wich will play on any standard cd player. if u do buy music from 1 of these internet services such as .. wmp, real or itunes b4 u do .. search the internet for software that will strip them of any copy protection they have ..that way your free to do what u want when u want with what u paid 4. how would we all feel if lexus said we couldnt mod our cars that we paid our hard earned money for .. in my book the whole music copy thing is no differnt.once u pay for it do as u please.. B)

your vin # , name & address,.. they put you or there mailing list and send you the lexus magazine and other material.

ok i feel that .. play with nero a little bit and im sure youll get the hang of it.. it gives u so many options for creating a cd.. cd text, combing files, adding sound fields many more. if u need a hand just let me know.

alot of older stereos wont handle those.. if u can afford it go with a new head unit one with aux input some have them on the front i know (aiwa) does 4 sure.. or get 1 with the aux in back get a 3 mm to rca adapterand your good to go. oh i forgot fm tansmit u said u have the tape 1 try 1 of the wireless 1s.. not my recommendation i think they sound like crap.

if u call lexus they will send u and owners manual for free.. and put u in there database as the owner of that vehicle.. very good for info and extra keys ..etc

its not my taste..but.. i wear boxers u wear breifs.. does that mean your !Removed!? leave the hate at home .. more power to that man! B)

truthfully if u have nero y would u use any other software to burn cds .. programs like windows and real are steup to stop piracy meaning copying and buring cds..therefore they dont give u the options that nero does.. such as cd text and so many more .. me myself i wouldnt use any software that sells music to burn my music.. it just dosent add up.. :D

im not so sure your right .. he has said before that he has a mp3 player that he uses through fm transmit.. so in that case y would u bother.. when u could just make a playlist and drag and drop all the songs u want .. and never by 1 new blank cd

well heres the deal ..if your going to save your cd on your hard drive.. u should use a losless format ..like ogg vorbis..then when your ready.. u can convert that into anything u want .. mp3 , wma , or and audio file for your cd player.. u can use many different forms of software to do this.. my fav is dBpowerAMP Music Converter which is shareware so its free.. that way your all set 4 what ever u need 2 do.. by the way if u have nero u dont need windows media player to convert your music nero has its own conversion software under extras in nero buringrom..

he saying his changer didnt work with his old scratched up store bought cds.. so he copyed the old cds to his hard drive .. then made custom mixes of those songs..then transferred them to new cds that were not scratched.. which play well in his old cd changer.. :whistles: (i think)

if you mean your wife has the fm transmitter.. get her some type of direct connection 4 christmas.. dont get me wrong fm transmit sounds ok upto a point ..the louder u turn up the volume the more distortion your going to get .. with direct connect through the line level input thats not going to happen.. so i ? its a matter of taste if u have a system that knocks and u want to get the best out of it go with direct connect.. if u dont care either way go with fm transnmit.

how could a fm signal b better than a direct connection ? go figure.. and y do u need a charger i have and ipod mini whos battery when fully charged is good for 16 hours.. im never in the car that long.. go figure.. theres a million options to listen at home (fm) being by far the worst. lets remember that fm transmit is a option only if u can not (direct connect ) but its surley not and upgrade thats like saying (mono) is better than (stereo).. GO FIGURE.

i use my ipod through my aux input.. i have and after market pioneer head unit.. i also use the pocketdock port at the bottom of my ipod and it gives u excellent sound .. not like the headphone jack wich has to b adjusted .. i have a rf sony 10 disc mp3 changer in the trunk that i disconnected because since ive had the ipod its tottally useless.. and the sound was really bad .. those fm modulators suck! .. they sound worse than the radio.. go for a head unit with aux input man .. its worth it... :D

:D looks good man. real good

Quite frankly if i were you i would have some (real) work done on that car first check the upper control arms , pws pump, brakes, timing belt, made the mistake of doing the cosmetic stuff first my self .

:o yo u got ripped off the companys web site has that shift knob for-14045300 LV-453 $109.99 . i installed mines a few weeks ago with out the boot i think it looks better.

I recently changed my shift knob.. 91 ls400 and this happend to me .. theres a rod in side the knob that needs to spring back up when u use it .. 99 percent sure this is your problem.

thx 4 the reply .. sending it asap
