Default Lexus GS300 2003 mark levinson Navigation AUX Input.

Is it possible to install aux input in my lexus gs300 2003. I have mark levinson navigation with mark levinson cassette player. I looked around on ebay and only found for basic radio. Here's the navigation that i have on my lexus https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...age-1-1452.jpg

Do a search on AUX and you'll find some more.

I've used a Motorola T505 for years. Bluetooth connection to my iPhone and I can take calls and play music. Btw, also works great for Waze navigation directions.

An alternative to just an aux input is the BT45-Toy unit from USA-Spec. Just installed mine and its exceeded my expectations. plug and play.... Make calls and answer calls, play music through Bluetooth or an aux cable. I can't recommend this unit more highly.

Hey mate01, I think you are referring to the BT45-TOY, yes this will work in your system. Plug and play without cutting or altering any wires. You will need a special harness for our application called a "CAS-TLC" harness for the unit to work. In my application I was even able to keep my CD player. So I press the CD button on the headunit once and it brings up the Bluetooth option and I can play my music from my phone or pandora and if I press the CD button on the head unit again it brings up the CD player... Not sure this is important to you. In any case I would call Victor at USA-Spec customer service 626-336-3836 . He will walk you through exactly what you need before you purchase the unit and also walk you through the process of install as well if you need it. I've attaced a picture where I intalled the BT45-TOY unit - its just right of the changer. This unit does everything I expected it to do smoothly and install is clean no wires hanging out etc.

Hi Joekgs, newbie here, will introduce myself later, was reading through this thread as I have just bought a 1998 1 owner GS300 and have been searching the net for such a unit. Is it possible you could point me in the direction to acquire one or do you still have yours for sale? Ideally I would like something that terminates in an Apple lightning plug.
