  1. Try a member called pioneersuby. Gus Mancy. I have a 94 GS300. With his help I installed the factory Nakamichi 6-disc CD and upgrades from the factory plain-jane Toyota Cassette Stereo. The Dealer also told me that they could not help. Look him up in the electronics section or send me an e-mail at tobibn@msn.com and I will forward his e-mail to you. John Winslow
  2. Mine Squeals, Too! I have a GS300, 1994. It only does it if the cabin temperature gets very high, like it is in the hot Florida sun for a couple hours. If it is in the shade or parked in a garage the noise never happens. I just think some plastic expands and it is no big deal. You said it happens every 8 key insertions? Mine only happens when the cabin gets hot. Good luck!
  3. I did the same thing with my 94 GS. Pioneersuby walked me through the process and it was effortless. I have the 6-disc changer with the Nakamichi head unit and can't believe the huge difference in the quality. I recommend the upgrade and seek out Pioneersuby, he is an honest and knowlegable member.

  4. The rotors on the 94 have two threaded holes in them that take an 8mm bolt. I used a half inch long one. The purpose for this is to break the rotor loose so that it will just fall off in your lap. Just screw them in and it will break them loose. Simple. I used the ceramic pads, they were more expensive. They create a lot of dust. I think I should have used the Metal Master Pads, they are more gabby but I think they are cleaner. Not sure. Just a theory. Maybe someone out ther can give us some insight on cleaner pads with slotted and drilled rotors. The trick I learned is the 8mm bolt thing. Good luck, but you won't need any. John
  5. I have a 94 GS300. I just finished my brake job and got all trhe parts from e-bay stores. The rotors were drilled and slotted, front and rear. all 4 rotors cost $175.00, and that included shipping. The pads for all 4 wheels were $98.00 shipping included. I bought the ceramic pads, but maybe should have gotten the less expensive ($74.00 for all) Metal Master pads. The ceramic ones are not quite worn in, but there seems to be some dust. I installed them myself in about 45 minutes.
  6. Chris, check out ebay for a complete installation kit for an aftermarket unit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=38636 Good luck, naterbug69 Thanks! Now I'm a bit unsure what I want to do. Circuit City will charge me a lot to install this. Crutchfield doesn't have the spec's for it...but will do the research (I don't know when) but the rep said to call her back if I found out the spec's first. I have someone that will isntall it....so I really don't want to do Circuit City. With the link you gave me (I saw it and it's a pretty good price) I guess I could buy that and still go get the stereo that I wanted and have the person that installs them to install it for me??? What do you think? Crystal (yes I am a female who really knows very very little about this...so I need some direction in this area) THANKS for all of your help!!! Chris, you may be able to save or upgrade your Lexus system. I got alot of help from E. Gus mancy. I have a 94 GS300 and he helped me change it to the Nakamichi system from the standard and all is great. it is worth a e-mail, anyway and you don't lose that Lexus dash! emancy@woh.rr.com is his address. Good Luck. John
  7. Find the dead animal in the system and get it out of there. Spray in some Simple Green and that should fix it. I had to do that to my girlfriends Volvo.
  8. If you got your stuff from pioneersuby, he stands behind it. contact him and he will make it right. I got a changer cable and system from him for my gs300 and it was great.
  9. If you want help with this one you need to see a member called Pioneersuby. His name is gus mancy. I own a 94 GS300 that had the regular cassette deck and stereo unit in it. With his help I changed it to the factory Nak stereo, amp and 12 disc cd in the trunk changer for $625. He may have the radio head you are looking for at a great price,too. Send him a line at emancy@woh.rr.com and I,m sure he will give great advice. :)
