1999 Lexus LS400 With Navigation Aftermarket Head Unit Installation Guide

[@xozfu191]

dude you need like unspeakably good things done to you if you know what i mean. i spent countless time on forums looking how to figure this out because i didnt want to buy an SLA 22 and man your just the goat merry christmas

[@slushboxer]

Haha! Happy to help out. I was scouring the forums for hours as well and I figured doing a video on this was a must, since most people on the forums with nav swaps just had an audio shop do it for them and didn’t know what it entailed.

[@Mister_E_Lurker]

Life saver with this video, man! Thanks so much for posting it

[@slushboxer]

I'm glad it helped!

[@gang6009]

Thanks for the video, i plan on just wiring an aux cord through the original unit somehow

[@slushboxer]

I’ve seen that done too, but I think you need to solder onto the board of the cd player somehow

[@pedraumdoistres]

really appreciate your work, man!

[@kennethfox6271]

Ha, we are doing the same thing. Had to order my AC controls from overseas but I have the double-din kit already.

[@slushboxer]

Good stuff, let me know how it goes and if you have any questions feel free to ask

[@dirttybirdabbott]

This is tempting to try. Wish I had time to do it.

[@kirkkopka8871]

Dude ... awesome video . I have a 2000 that I have been researching this swap on and you just nailed all of it !!! Good Job bro ... good job. I do have to ask what spoiler do you have on there ?? Thanks !!!

[@slushboxer]

Thanks! The spoiler is off an Infiniti Q45, and doesn’t fit very well but I thought it looked nice

[@ariew503]

Would I still be able to play CD’s with this new screen unit ?

[@slushboxer]

Not with the factory CD player unless you figure out how to wire it in somehow

[@alexjames8963]

Did you find a access to the trunk to run the wires for the new amp and sub

[@slushboxer]

I did not, but if you take the rear seats out and the carpet lining the trunk, the only thing in your way would be the gas tank, and I’m willing to bet you could find some room to snake a wire around it.

[@LovinglyHvteful]

No issues with climate control plugs? When I went to test the controls I had purchased a long time ago it didn’t fully operate correctly(been a while so I can’t remember what exactly went wrong)

[@LovinglyHvteful]

GREAT video though!!! Glad I found this on a post!

[@slushboxer]

No issues with my controls at all other than the fact that they were in worse condition than my nav unit

[@slushboxer]

I appreciate the feedback! What post brought you here if you don’t mind me asking?

[@frey2605]

This should work with a non nav 98 celsior right?

[@ZeroHeros_]

im wondering the same thing with my 99 celsior im using a bluetooth cassette tape and i hate having to recharge it

[@frey2605]

@ I'm going to be putting a double din and a sub in mine here soon. I'll let you know if it works like shown in the video. Also you should check out the bluetooth adapters that plug into the cigarette lighter. Just tune it to the FM you want and connect it to your phone then you can play music straight off your phone.

[@frey2605]

@@ZeroHeros_So I just took a look at the wiring under my seat. For some reason I dont have the ACC wire in my car for some reason. (The pin 12 in the diagram) so im a bit worried about that. I just asked clublexus about it so I am hoping to get some answers there. I'll keep you updated.

[@ZeroHeros_]

@@frey2605 thanks Frey I didn't see the previous comment but I will look into getting an FM transmitter I seen they were only like 15-20$ and thank you for keeping me up to date with everything I'll be looking for ur notifications from now on cause ur a big help

[@ZeroHeros_]

@@frey2605 u don't have to keep me updated btw. It's not mandatory so if u would like to stop replying it's no hard feelings fr. Ur doing alot of work just for some random on the Internet.

[@loganlovesminecraft]

Would this work for the nakamichi amp also?

[@misfit2937]

Don’t think so bc I have the nakamichi and I just got the connectors and they don’t fit

[@grobbendonk4220]

So did you need a new AC controller from a non nav as well?

[@dxmiano]

yes

[@slushboxer]

Yes, you do since the A/C controls are built into the navigation screen

[@alexjames8963]

How do you like the stereo you put in it is the quality good?

[@slushboxer]

Yes it is a great quality stereo for the money in my opinion. I have used ATOTO radios for many years in multiple vehicles and am always impressed with the quality at that price point.

[@gaganbrar4365]

I have question why you deleted amplifier ? I mean is it not compatible with stereo or wat else!!

[@slushboxer]

Good question, the new aftermarket head unit has an amplifier built in, so I deleted the factory amp to avoid redundancy and extra noise interference in the system.
