I'm looking to be able to hook up my iPod to the current "Premium Sound System" in my LX450. I've searched the net and have only found the FM Modulator option. The quality of sound is lost when set up that way. There are plenty of iPod interface adapters, but none for the LX450. Does anyone know of a brand that makes it for my car?

I USED A TAPE PLAYER ADAPTER WITH THE PLUG FOR THE TOP OF MY IPOD AND THAT WORKS PRETTY GOOD

I second the tape player kit idea. You may scoff initially, but try it and you'll notice the quality is much higher than the FM modulator option. If that doesn't do it for you, I have heard that there are methods of hookup up an iPod through a factory CD changer connection.

It just seems like it rides to rough to be a Lexus. I figured since the original shocks was in place from the factory new ones would be a good idea. I don't expect to get the ride of a Lexus LS, but figured it could be better.

They ride smoother than the Land Cruisers of the same year, but they are always going to ride rougher than... well, pretty much any other lexus ever built because of their live front axle. Just be thankful that both axles are coil sprung! Enjoy your highly capable off road rig, but understand that it's not going to be a smooth rider.

I should add that replacing the shocks after 157,000 miles of being pounded by a 5000lb vehicle should certainly help!
