Turning 23 next week, just got my dad's 03 ES300 today. He just picked up his brand new ES350.

I found a car audio place near me who specializes in custom dash fabrications for audio systems, so I'm leaning towards that option to add aux in/usb/sd slots to my 2003 ES300. I wanted to know if anyone here had a custom dash done to add aftermarket headunits, and if so, could you possibly post pics? Thanks!

How do I pause a cd in an '03 es300? As far as I can tell, there is no pause button...uh, isnt this a huuuge oversight?

I'm desperately trying to find a way to add an auxiliary input to my '03 ES300's audio system. The closest I've come to finding a solution is the Auxlex product, by Soundgate/Vaistech. Some webstores list the ES300 2003 w/out Nav as being compatible, but calling the company, it seems that it is not. I was wondering if anyone has tried this product out with my car's year w/out the nav... Thanks!

It looks like I'll be inheriting my dad's 2003 ES300. The car has the 6 cd changer, but not the Mark Levinson system. I'm really interested in having a head unit with aux in and a usb slot, but thus far my search has turned up no easy way to make this happen. For the time being, I would settle for some kind of auxiliary or rca hookup to the stock amp. Are there extra rca jacks on the stock system that I could plug an mp3 player into? Next, I'm wondering how much I'd need to spend on a new amp and speakers to significantly upgrade the sound from the factory system. For $300-400 would I see an improvement? Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks! Also, the cd changer will play burned CD-Rs, I hope? On second thought, I'd probably be content simply adding a line-in somehow to the stock system, so I could plug my mp3 player directly into the amp. I really don't want to go the FM transmitter route, as it degrades the sound quality too much for my liking. Anyone know if this is not too difficult?
