Today we have a Lexus ES330 in for a full system. Installer Diaries 103

[@crazy8sdrums]

What great timing! Just yesterday, my brother bought an older ES300 and we are going to hook it up too! Cheers 5 star!

[@bigadventure3797]

I am always astonished how efficient you guys work. One day for a setup like that is just awesome!

[@rick15666]

That seemed like a LOT of wiring/harness work. Man, I wish things were easier these days, I think it’s done over my head now..

[@marianamadrid1713]

Lmao I didn't use a aftermarket harness for my car same Lexus as this one I put a double din in and tapped into stocked harness without aftermarket harness and bypassed amp everything works fine.

[@ittext4947]

You should have a Q&A with Paul and ask him what kind of questions he asks a customer to get the best radio for the customer.

[@PeterMIcedVoltage]

Wow, that’s a lot of work.

[@rick15666]

That’s what I’m sayin! Not like the old days when I’d pop in an Alpine and JL and call it a day, like a 3hr job tops, with extreme dynomat install..

[@russsmith9042]

I know that was just a basic system and but it's just a pleasure watching you guys man you guys work well together and knock out good quality stuff so there you have it thanks again for good video

[@loraineperkins4851]

I would have like to see how you mounted the USBs into the storage compartment. Hubby wants to mount them in the ash tray area.

[@chenzostanley8817]

Hey you guys u do really nice clean install I've learned a lot from you guys as a do-it-yourselfer it's nice to know I have someone to count on for pointers and tips keep up the good work

[@mikezupancic2182]

One of the best videos yet with all the explanation. Super clear and easy to understand even if you aren't a Toyota owner. (use of similar tips in other applications)

[@sanjuanpr25]

I feel so fortunate that you guys are here in Florida!!

[@ADR69]

No matter what, it's still a Toyota at heart. They are amazing vehicles. Those fire walls were such a nightmare tho. Also, all cabling from the truck as a pain to get past the rear seats. I want that good tho ha

[@brianmeek2]

In my 05' ES330, I just bypassed that factory amp behind the glove box to a ['Soundstream'] 5-channel amp IN the glove box [mounted to the inside top]. A little tight, but really a good fit. Point is, I could run 4 guage OFC wire from the battery along the firewall through the rubber grommet securing the big wire bundle going to the ECU. An invisible razor cut close to center, then a long stainless bbq skewer with the wire taped behind the point. Easy peasy 'spear fishing' to push power to the glove box. I guess the added length to use that ingress (in this video) is more costly than drilling through on the Driver's side? Is routing power across low behind the dash a no-no?

[@ADR69]

That amp mount is super clean!

[@seanwiggins2461]

That's a beautiful install got to share this one

[@6ringsjc]

Great video ,as usual. I have the same car scheduled for similar install. Thanks for all the door speaker installation info.

[@brettloucks9729]

Great video. Very well narrated and clean as always.

[@aliislam580]

Hey, great video man! I have the same Lexus and wanted to add carplay, since I don't want to change the amp or anything; would it just be a direct plug and play installation?

[@bamnjphoto]

I wish I was living close to your guys I would have you upgrade my Lex 330 system, I still have the factory system looking to replace. I will definitely share this with whomever I get to upgrade my system.

[@webberfan1234]

Did you ever do it?

[@bamnjphoto]

@@webberfan1234 no not yet, i'm going to get it done this summer

[@webberfan1234]

@@bamnjphoto What equipment are you going with?

[@aps5150]

Thought of a second question as well. Do any of the major radio manufacturers have a 2.4A USB port, or any talk of including one? Faster charging while connected to the head unit would be awesome!

[@curtisbme]

Not that I've seen. Getting a wireless unit (still more expensive) is the best way to ensure you can still plug into fast charging for your phone (qualcom or USBPD)

[@wdiddy1]

great video as always and finally subscribed after watching about 6 of your videos.

[@Rivlasa]

Awesome work, guys!

[@dennispelaez6760]

I have a 2005 Lexus ES330 just like this and I'd like the same setup. how much is it going to cost me?

[@davidhowell6908]

It used to be so easy to install car audio back 35 years ago!

[@Pervysagemaster]

“We know what it will look like in 2 months” lMAO!

[@berto928]

Awesome install job!!! You guys are Amazing “audio educators”!!! Had a love for audio my whole life and getting to watch top notch installers who share the same passion...priceless 👌🏼

[@gnfanatic9139]

I am sorry for the late post but there was no room under the seat for the amp??

[@billjohnson1611]

I enjoyed this video Is it possible you could make 2 pair of those quarter inch speaker plates? I have the same car.

[@rlerebou]

I hope they got paid what a performance, thoroughly enjoyed it,

[@bohemianskies1724]

In other words, would it be possible to have you guys make me a reverse harness or does the one I put for the amazon link look ok?

[@LetsGoECU1]

Is there a guide for removing the rear deck? I assume you have to remove the seats first which for whatever reason do not fold down. I have a 2000 XLS , and I plan on separating the trim from the actual deck with some sort of sound dampening material but want to try and see what I am up against first so I can make a plan

[@reccocon3442]

How much for the damage installed, w/backup cam?

[@codygould4797]

Whats the chance of getting a full list of all the parts and wire harnesses for this exact set up.

[@curtisjohnson944]

Chances are pretty good if you watch the video.

[@ivanjulian2532]

Great job boys! Really impressed.

[@mohammadejaz4096]

I was so impressed with your guys installation I am willing to come to you so you can do my Lexus as well it’s the same one you guys did please let me know how I can contact you to get a quote

[@boardwalkboss]

Did you guys replace the subwoofer or did I miss it?

[@deandregantt8468]

I have a 2001 Lexus GS 430 and I would love to have one of those wire harness to have a clean look to wire up my hi's and mid's

[@lowhertzhighspl]

👌🏻 hey guys 👋🏻 will you make more how to amp rack vids of different styles?

[@tylersin8335]

I have a problem to where I get no noise fro the doors. Everythings spliced into... the doors are all hooked up to the new amp

[@j.williams4180]

Granted you guys do an amazing tuck work👍🏽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@journey2sainthood679]

What’s the model of that dashboard radio and kit? I have the same car and want to install the same exact setup.

[@guitarman3100]

Man that color difference sucks but not much you can do about that, excellent work guys.

[@almighty_rocklee9116]

I live in Illinois are there any places you recommended here ?

[@bobdadruma]

I can never understand why people leave all of their personal stuff in their cars when they bring them in for service. I always take my stuff out. I don't want anyone going through my personal things. I only leave the registration and the insurance card. That is it! I don't even leave my toll pass!

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

great work guys...

[@TheFiendRacer]

I about to take my truck in for some work, I hope they do good work like u guys

[@johnmichaelkarma]

great vid and editing. Great humor that breaks up the tedium. thumbs up #801

[@meme2363]

Nice video. Maybe you can answer my question, nobody else has been able to. I want one of the vertical, Tesla style screens that take the place of the stereo and climate controls. They have tons of different ones available for the es240, es300 and es350 series, but none for the es330? This product category skips over the es330 series and the only type avail are the standard 2DIN stereos. Any idea why? All of the Lexus ES cars have the same amount of room in general in the climate/stereo area.

[@csavkoor]

Why did you connect to the factory amplifier if you’re using an external amp?

[@zoonthabeat6869]

Does the factory sub still work or did I miss that part. I have the same car

[@ameliaandes797]

So the full systen is an improved audio? What other things the installed video screen does? In case, I want one too. Thanks.

[@techglow1940]

Nice work done... i have a question... for good audio output.. should i install 1 pair of component speakers in the front doors and normal speakers in the back doors or should i install components speakers in the back doors as well??

[@MrKillerRC]

You don’t need a micro bypass for Pioneer avic radios. Turn off radio power. Press on bottom left corner of screen for 30 seconds. It will disable the parking brake and speed sensor crap.

[@curtisbme]

Still need it for some functions like Android Auto won't set up unless you have the parking brake on (or a bypass).

[@LosTheGamer01]

After doing my aftermarket double din my climate control back light don’t work when I cut my headlights on all my other lights work but when I cut my lights off the climate control works ??? Please help

[@alex16870]

Hello! just curious if Five Star Car Audio have done any full System but have come half way then an big issue have come along? that have make so you have lost focus?

[@pompersuf5214]

is there a reliable website that tells me what stereo fits for my car.

[@aps5150]

I know you guys don't normally do custom fabrication but I was curious if you'd use MDF or ABS/PVC for a center console where one doesn't exist already. In my '93 Caprice to use a 2DIN radio I may need to resort moving it down to a console. Thanks for all the videos and information!

[@Michael_Lorenson]

Excellent, thanks

[@danknug11]

Where do i get the din insert frame for the 03 es300?

[@igualamex]

You guys are the best to do that we’re you are located

[@dMilz714]

I watched the entire video to learn one thing and you did not show or talk about it at all. Where do you send the amp power wire through the firewall?

[@KRAZYSHAWNJ]

I wish there was a video of you all replacing a 2007 Toyota Avalon JBL System 6 disc,Non Navigation unit with a double din. There’s some harness that makes you put the factory radio in the trunk! Where the hell do I put it without it getting damaged? It also has a center speaker in the middle of the dash and a subwoofer in the center back deck. Should I bypass the factory amp? Or use the factory amp and just replace all the speakers and just add a subwoofer amp and subs to complete the install? I want to replace All the factory speakers with aftermarket. So confusing.

[@wadedixon1796]

How much did this customer pay? I can respect when I see people and companies put pride in their builds. Absolute clean install, would definitely get mine done there.

[@rxtuninginc8444]

Wouldn't doubt it's somewhere $500-750

[@JonBoatJiggin]

If I’m just trying to install the nav do I need to rewire the wires or will it just plug right in?

[@brabusvsop4976]

What's the name of the song at 27:44 ???

[@NguyenHuy-lu9cm]

I have a car like me but the buttons are hard pressed for a while before it softens

[@biglou143]

What size screen is that? 7ninch?

[@mikegilbert5434]

Got excited when I saw this but it’s newer model. Have you done many 2000-04 Toyota Avalons? It’s got the JBL amp. Looking to do 8201NEX with rear cam and dash cam. Not sure if I should use the jbl amp or ditch it. The stereo works fine I just want updated options like CarPlay , gps, BT etc.

[@stevennelson209]

Don’t listen to J Silver. I’m running a Pioneer CarPlay head unit into an ‘02 Camry with factory JBL just fine. Metra P/N 70-8113 is your friend.

[@ThaMayorva757]

Can somebody tell me how to fix the lighting on the radio I think it went out ?

[@garyscott4104]

YOU GUYS ARE DOPE!! Where are you located. I have the exact same car. Factory system has always been good to/for me,and I play it loud and continuously(for several yrs). One speaker just blew. I'm thinking of getting something exactly like what you guys have done here. Can u give me a ball park figure of what I should be looking forward towards.?? Thanks again. ✌🏾❤

[@JJ-brickbybrick]

What did you do with the two antenna wires

[@williamsnyder7346]

Hey dean what are you using for the caps on the wires been trying to figure it out

[@tatialo37]

My first install was a Boston acoustic three way speaker comp kenwood cassette and amp! In a chevrtte!!!! Lol!!!

[@mpcp27]

Hey just have a fast question separate from this installation... When you are running wire under the car and you put look on the wire.. Do you do anything else to the loom.. Or is the loom opening just left uncovered ? Thanks.

[@garypryor9930]

Hi. I have a 2003 Lexus es300 with the Mark Levinson stereo and navigation. Is it possible to install a new stereo while using the factory amp without bypassing it?

[@jackdimaria3636]

I’m always cleaning water bottles and coffee cup out of my wife’s car 😂😂 must be a girl thing🤔

[@nunyabizness9045]

No link to the product?

[@davemontano3790]

Can you just order speakers that are plug n go for the doors?

[@adamcruz3172]

Does anyone know how it would sound if speakers were out of polarity. And i didn't have a polarity checker

[@cyberprofiler7828]

Man, metra just came out with a dash kit for my 2012 acura mdx. I gotta call you guys to setup and install. I'll be making the trip from Miami.

[@JohnNorris411]

What is the cost for that job on that car today?

[@posae86]

Great video as usual, guys.

[@zoonthabeat6869]

Can I use this same setup in my doors with the factory amp or is the woofer and tweeter wired different. Basically I'm asking can I use a component set with the factory amp

[@SDS-1]

I like her style. BLAST IT!

[@gregpepple423]

I'm putting a Kenwood dpx502bt in my 2003 ford expedition. What steering wheel control adaptor would you recommend ? I obviously don't have buttons to make and answer calls ? The part cruchfield sold me is access ASWC-1 ? Thank you for any help you can give me.

[@repairdrive]

Sweet amp install! 👍

[@play69zoe]

Awesome work.

[@yucaipawarrior]

How soon is the corvette diary going to be posted?

[@AllanNeely]

Hey guys! Loving your channel from The Bahamas! Question. You said that you think having the kids at 100+ on your crossover are too high for your taste. What crossover point do you usually run your speakers/subwoofer? I'm using the Alpine Type R 6.5 component in my doors and the 6x9 in the rear deck.

[@giomentx]

No amp kit?

[@ilovetoyotatrucks]

I'm on day 3 TOMARROW for my hhr install it could be my buddy slowing me down because I find myself stopping what I'm doing to show him only to go back n do it right/fix it!/finish it!

[@PDXBLOOD503]

How much did u charge for this? I have an 03 es300 I want to put a 2 DIN with Apple CarPlay

[@j.williams4180]

This is so very true.. but do you guys ever do competition system subs and speakers? Such as Skar audio or DC..?

[@kaotony4068]

Thanks for the detailed installation video, I bypassed my stock amplifier using instructions in this video

[@donmega6007]

Where are u located?

[@cueball981]

Very clean install, guys!

[@ronaldwoolfolk6083]

How much does something like this cost? I’m in the market for 05 Lexus ES 330.

[@2ohmguyoms58]

Learned a lot of great stuff, ideas etc.
