GROM-USB3: Lexus RX 300 1999 - 2002 iPod iPhone USB Android Interface Adapter Installation

[@tomgibson3216]

I just installed this in my 2001 RX300, works great, set up was fairly simple, can finally listen to music from my iPhone. To think a local company wanted to charge me 400 bucks!

[@gromaudio]

Thank you Tom!

[@bouncingcigarettes3574]

is the audio good and clear? i’m using an fm transmitter and don’t feel like it’s necessary to swap out the whole radio but i want to get clear audio with bluetooth because the fm transmitter is too staticy

[@phild2313]

Just got Grom Toy2 installed into the CD equipment - Works like a charm! You guys did an awesome job! Lexus RX300

[@gromaudio]

Thank you for your suggestion and feedback. As for the video speed, you can probably stop it at the certain points that are interesting to you. Regarding to the dash mount, we film on your clients cars. Not all want the dash mount. if you are looking for the dash mount, check our website. We have aux and USB ports dash mounts available. Thank you.

[@angryforce15]

I love this company! It worked for my German spec BMW and I will be purchasing for my JDM Toyota Harrier aka Lexus RX300. Takes a little fiddling but it beats the alternatives for this car because of the way they integrated the A/C controls into the dash.

[@gromaudio]

Thank you!

[@gromaudio]

Jessica, for RX 300 1999-2002, yes GROM will disable CD changer. In general it will disable external CD changer, but built-in changer will keep working. Thank you.

[@ryanisaac9744]

So easy to do. Daughter and I knocked it out in 15 minutes.

[@gromaudio]

Thank you for using GROM product!

[@gromaudio]

$134.99 costs GROM-USB2P kit that includes everything for USB audio. If you need Bluetooth dongle, AUX and iPod cable - they are being sold separately. We also have Bluetooth kits with built-in Bluetooth (GROM-BT3-TOY) where you will not need extra dongle.

[@gromaudio]

@Thug9030 It is usually written on the front facia plate of your stereo. Or you can also check the stereo manual, or you can take the stereo out and check the sticker on its top or back. But usually it is written on the front facia. Thank you.

[@gromaudio]

@redmonddad Yes you are correct - in that case with 99 RX300 there is no built-in CD player, so the external CD player ( in the glove box) is being disconnected. Thank you.

[@johndread]

This is really perfect for my RX300 so easy to install lot easier than to install HID

[@gromaudio]

It connects USB, iPod, Bluetooth, MP3 player and Android phone. Thank you.

[@gromaudio]

Yes you can do both - set up by folders, and select randomly. Thank you.

[@gromaudio]

@nazaroffkz Your CD will stay functional. you will be able to play either MP3 or CD

[@gromaudio]

@483Antran Hello. To switch to GROM - press CD button. You mighty need to press it twice. If you will need additional support - please contact us via support page at gromaudio website.

[@gromaudio]

to jnmoretti, yes it will work with iPhone 5 too.

[@gromaudio]

You are very welcome!

[@ehizzle617]

So on the 03 rx300 will the stock cd changer become non useable when the adapter is installed?

[@gromaudio]

Yes - in fact you had to disconnect CD changer if you want to use GROM in your car. Good luck!

[@xiangthai9045]

Hi is the installation same for the iPod iPhone Android Aux Car stereo digital Interface GROM MBA1 Adapter #MBA1 for this rx300

[@gromaudio]

Usually it is - press CD button once or twice. If you have any problems - contact us via web site. Thank you.

[@gromaudio]

Hello John. No, it is not Nakamichi. Nakamichi stereo is not supported.

[@lexusfan100]

wow this is so easy as compare to volvo car. That unit only connect USB ports?thanks

[@corinavirus2020]

I just saw this and am going to purchase this. This can connect to my headphone jack correct?

[@gromaudio]

brandon castillo it connects to the back of your stereo to CD changer port. It provides phone jack, as well as Bluetooth for hands free phone calls and wireless music streaming, USB to integrate iPhone or Android, or USB stick, and HD radio. For more info please visit gromaudio.com

[@corinavirus2020]

From your experience, has anyone used your device while also having subwoofers installed in the rx300? Thats where im at with getting this

[@gromaudio]

Yes, subwoofers are ok, and will not create any conflict with GROM system. Thank you.

[@gromaudio]

Yes you absolutely can. The track up-down will work on Pandora, using car stereo or steering wheel buttons.

[@johndread]

What can you suggest on how to hide the adpter metal enclosure, or just lay it inside the compartment?

[@palmer307]

Do you make an interface for the 1999 Lexus LS400 without nav...it's the premium audio (pioneer) not the nakamichi, saw a good price on one on eBay but it's overseas and will take a while to get to the U.S./midwest... any solutions?

[@gromaudio]

Thank you John!

[@rickbrasche8781]

what's the best way to secure the box? I was thinking velcro inside, or some sort of faceplate where the CD changer was that will have the sockets for USB and charging in it

[@gromaudio]

We recommend placing the box in the glove box. This way you will have it accessible for future firmware updates and add-ons. If not in the glove box, but behind the stereo - velcro can be good to use to secure it. Make sure to have teh USB cable out (glove box?) so you can easily access it. Also make sure to make secure and tight connections. Thank you.

[@samhillyer1882]

What is the name of the cord/plug-in that you disconnected from the cd changer?

[@gromaudio]

+Sam Hillyer it is the CD changer plug. Your CD changer is being disconnected once you install GROM kit for this Lexus.

[@lexusfan100]

can you do for a 2000-2001 lexus es300 too..thanks

[@EdwinHwuHacks4Science]

Great video! Thanks a lot!

[@xamelrs]

Hello, GromAudio. I have 1999 Lexus RX300 with NAKAMICHI sound. Can i use those adapter for my ride. I was searching for such solution. Thank you.

[@nuttalljp]

I have the "Toyota / Scion / Lexus GROM iPod Adapter Direct Interface V3" installed in my 2002 Lexus rx300 (non-Nakamichi) and it works good except when ever the car is on I get a high pitched buzzing from my speakers that I did not get before the install. This buzzing only occurs when the car is on, and increases as I increase the throttle. Do you have any ideas on what could be wrong and how I could fix it, thank you.

[@gromaudio]

Здравствуйте Вадим. Мы представляем компанию GROM и можем давать советы только по поводу нашего продукта. Для GROM адаптера вы записываете столько папок сколько у вас дисков, и нумеруете их для корректного отображения. Попробуйте назвать например 1-Disk 1, 2-Disk 2 - вероятно поможет. Спасибо.

[@jennifert6220]

Hello...is there any way that I can use an FM transmitter? I've never had a car that couldn't just plug an play.

[@gromaudio]

Yes you probably can do that, if you do not want to install the CD changer interface. Maybe via cassette player?

[@johndread]

Is this a Nakamichi Stereo showing on this Video? i nocticed that you unplugged one cable only the main harness of cd changer because i have two harness on mine the other one is a small one blue one i think

[@kiking15]

Can you show me where the location of connector wire to the back of the cd? I cant find mine. It was disconnected from the accident and I dont know where it is. Thanks

[@gromaudio]

We need to see the photo of the back of your stereo. Please contact our technical team at gromaudio.com/support.html They will help.

[@jessicarodriguez9856]

does it disable your cd player?

[@johndread]

Just wonderin for $134 includes all the cables needed like aux,ipod cable and bluetooth dongle?

[@nickwilson6891]

My RX was not built with a CD changer, in the glove box or elsewhere. Are the hook-ups still there behind the glove box? Where else would I install this product?

[@gromaudio]

Nick Wilson yes the connector should be available in the glove box. What year is your RX? The adapter will fit to all 1999-2002 RX, except Nakamichi stereo.

[@nicholasfisher2729]

I have a 1998 Lexus gs300. I want to connect behind cd changer in glove box since my stereo is Nakachimi. Wil this work. I am pretty sure the disc changers is the same port as non nakachimi(just the radio port is different?)

[@gromaudio]

Hello, unfortunately GROM Audio is not compatible with 1998 Lexus GS300. Thank you for your interest in our products and technology.

[@gromaudio]

@WINFRT Sorry Nakamichi is not supported :(

[@pf3416]

Hello, i would like to ask if this will work on non Nakamichi 92 SC400 ?Headunit has old style 12 pin 5/7 connector not newer 6/6. Thank you

[@gromaudio]

Unfortunately it will not work. It works with 1999-2002 models of Lexus RX with non-Nakamichi stereo.

[@gromaudio]

Is that external CD changer? If yes - then you will loose it unfortunately.

[@gijoe4sho4080]

i have a 1999 rx300 & I have a 500gb hard drive full of music, can I control the different folders and select random music this set up?

[@gijoe4sho4080]

Can I stream iheart radio or Pandora with the blutooth donggle?

[@MrPcbuilder23]

GROM-I-TOY just bought this for my 01 RX300 :D it will work right? disk changer is broke so i hope so lol i miss my music no cd's for like 2 years :{

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

You can completely remove the CD player, right? Does the GROM have a mount or some way to secure snugly in the compartment so it looks appealing when you open the glove box? lol

[@gromaudio]

Yes, for this vehicle you have to completely disconnect the CD player. We do not offer the mounts of some way, but some users use the velcro to secure the unit in the glove box. Usually you do not see much of GROM while using it. Thank you.

[@gromaudio]

Try to rename the folders instead to 1-Favorites, 2-Rock, etc..

[@mik15ful]

i have just followed the steps as explained here, however i get no sound, i can control the music from the iPhone, but no sound on the stereos, any ideas...? thanks

[@gromaudio]

This module is very straight forward. You might get a wrong firmware. I recommend you to contact tech support for help, they will be able to assist. Thank you!

[@Vadim777kaz]

Здравствуйте. Я купил адаптор yatour для Lexus RX300 2001. Устройство не могло нормально работать при традиционном подключении (адаптор+чейнджер+штатная магнитола) пришлось подключить (Адаптор+штатная магнитола)Все работает! Единственный вопрос как записать музыку если на флэшку записаны 2 папки? При записи по инструкции(CD01,CD02) вторую папку не видит и не проигрывает, а первая без проблем играет. Заранее спасибо

[@neildiego7061]

Can the "Toyota Scion Lexus 1998-2012 GROM USB Android car interface adapter" for $99 on your website without bluetooth work with 2008 RX400H? I just want to connect USB drive. I have the OEM Mark Levinson built-in 6-disc changer with Navigation.

[@gromaudio]

Yes it will work, and will play USB just perfectly.Thank you.

[@483Antran]

hello Gromaudio I have lexus rx 300 2000 how can I swicth between radio and play grom mp3 and everytime turn engine off the grom mp3 start up first song of my mp3 thanksss

[@stephenng7406]

How do you know if my 2002 rx300 is Non-Nakamichi? I read on a forum that Non-Nakamichi systems are lexus' with Premium Sound which mine has? Is this true?

[@gromaudio]

Stephen Ng if it is Nakamichi, it will say so on the front facia of the stereo

[@kutsujuh]

GROM Audio I sent a picture via email and support ticket via your guys request. I'll wait for a reply to that.

[@rustyshackelford3014]

Question....do you lose you cd player then?

[@gromaudio]

Yes, for the Lexus RX 300 1999-2002, the CD changer in the glove box will be disconnected with the installation of the car kit.

[@courtneyadams2657]

will you be able to use the cd player as well?

[@gromaudio]

No, on Lexus RX 300 1999-2002 the CD changer is external, so it will be disconnected.

[@ethnicmusic]

Hi, i installed all like in video, when i press CD it shows CD 1, but nothing going on. Looks like it doesnt read folders i named CD01, CD02. What shoud i do?

[@SpyroDragontyped]

Is there a phone number to call at G rom? I am unable to check the status of my order

[@gromaudio]

You can call us at 866-345-0694 9am-5pm CT

[@hamzakhuffash]

I have done exactly as this video and followed the instructions, however, it didn’t work the Bluetooth is connected to my phone, but the stereo wont select CD to play the music , when it does press cd , no music is played from my phone

[@gromaudio]

If you run into any technical difficulties please contact GROM tech support at gromaudio.com/support.html One recommendation is to always cycle the ignition in order for GROM to be recognized by the vehicle, after the installation.

[@Thug9030]

How to tell if the rx300 has a Nakamichi stereo

[@mrbaban5414]

will this be compatible with a lexus gs 350 year 2007????

[@MrPatlova]

GROM Audio where will the cord go then?

[@tommingarelli8263]

@@MrPatlova Did you ever get this question answered? I'd like to know the same.

[@Shzero0]

More information is available at gromaudio.com Thank you.

[@Toobs360]

[@JoseRuiz-ry9cf]

Como puedo conseguirlo en mexico

[@gromaudio]

We ship to Mexico, you can order from our website gromaudio.com

[@taylorroberts363]

Why does it have to be "non-nackamichi?" Ive a 2000 lexus rx300 and I'm dying to get my iphone hooked up via bluetooth or at the very least, aux and I cannot find a solution

[@crazyjoe2234]

if you want to connect via aux, you could buy a cassette to aux www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=13981611

[@gromaudio]

Taylor Roberts sorry, unfortunately Nackamichi are made the way that you can't connect anything to them.

[@huafengwang4021]

Does it work for Rx300 2003?

[@gromaudio]

Hello, yes it will work as long as the stereo is non-Nakamichi. gromaudio.com/store/all-toyf_lex3_.html Thank you.
