Anyone know of a good installer that can install my empeg on a Lexus IS300 in LA , SGV area? Thanks... I just bought a car for my empeg... Would like to get them two mated ASAP...

is is a tricky install// all lexuses are for that matter email me if you want some help on doing it yourself.. i did it in my sc300.. but considering they dont make a mounging kit/wireharness and tis a double-din and a half..and oh ya its a jap, din size which means the cage may have to be cut, since you cant iso mount the player. its tricky.. in in bay area, or i would help you personally

What is your e-mail? It's not updated on your profile & webpages... I get return errors of unknown recipient... Thanks!

ya.. thats @home/attbi fualts.. i had to make temp one on hotmail justinlarsen25@hotmail.com its probably jsut as easy to give me an email on the board cuz im on here much more than i check my hotmail.

justin, think an install in a Lexus RX300 is impossible? I have heard others say it is. Is your model the same where it has that huge screen for the temperature, clock, radio, etc display?

yup it is possible.. but i did have to cut the cage.. but all the lexus are the same way.. no kits.. you have to make your won.. it took about about 3 or 4 hours total for the install.. but it turned out nice.. i jsut need to get batteries for my dig cam.. and ill post them.

I'm awaiting for Scosche to release a installation kit for the IS300. That would make it more simple, I don't want to tear up my dash as it is a fairly new car...

yha.. you might be waiting awhile.. thought with a car as popular as that you would think they would ahve had one already.. lexus = 2 1/2 din .. and double din kit will work then find another 1 1/2 din kitg and take the 1/2 din slot out to fill the extra gap..

Did you ever find someone to do your installation?

Unfortunately, they all are a bunch of ripoffs. I needed a complete new system w/ new speaker components, subwoofers, and amplifiers. It took me awhile to find one that was reasonably price. But he lacked troubleshooting skills...? And almost couldn't complete the install!

Most places wanted to charge $1000 for installation + prices for their own components! Otherwise it would be $1500 for installation of components bought outside their stores.

Do you need a recommendation? Install it yourself to save money. If u have an IS300, I can help you look for documents on removing the dash, and for $80, u can get a JDM stereo dsah kit that fits our cars... its fairly simple to remove the dash... But if you want a professional, I can recommend you to a place, i guess you pay for what you get for...

Any ideas on installing into a 2000 GS400 with Navigation/Stereo and glovebox mounted CD changer?
I just bought the car and need to move it from my 1994 Honda Accord to the new car... don't want to have to sell the Rio!!!!!!!

Have heard the Dension MP3 player has a new CD-changer emulator for Pioneer-based units... don't know if that would work, either...

Thanks for your input!!!
