Default is this a good ipod kit? for 00 gs300

ive been trying to connect my ipod to my 2000 gs300 for the longest time already. ive tried places like bestbuy for a new deck and all that but ive had many problems saying that my year gs300 is very hard and complicated to do due to the factory stereo.

but i found this website www.kaizenmotoring.com and they offer a kit that can play my ipod through the factory stereo. this is perfect but i just wanted to see what you guys thought about it.

and ive been told that the 00 and 01+ stereos are different so the 00 year is really hard to do but this site offers a kit that does it. the GROM Audio IPOD Car Kit Toyota / Lexus.

does anyone have experience with this? thanks

The cable to be used with the Grom iPod kit Toyota/Lexus for the 2000 GS300 was explained to us by the manufacturer that it would work with the 2000 GS300. We have been working with someone with one of the cables and Grom kits and it did not work with the cd changer cable he had in his 00 GS300. We are working with the manufacturer to see if it work with any of the available cd changer cables.

As of right now I cannot confirm that the cable for the Grom iPod kit will work with the 2000 GS. The cable has been removed from the options list. I apologize for the error I was told by the manufacturer it would work.

you have a cd changer correct? if so you can hardwire on aux input to the radio via the changer audio source signal leads.
