First, we will try to help. Second, it would be helpful to know the year, trim package and whether your current radio is Mark Levinson. (if you don't know the trim package, try posting a picture of the radio and center console) Third, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
That said, here goes. Keep in mind, I am a amateur and others on this forum are experts. You probably need to fix your amp unless you want to replace the whole system. Search on this forum and the internet. There are shops that repair these amps, find the posts on this forum for names and links. (United Radio comes to mind). You ship them the amp, they repair and return. Your location may make it harder but it can be done.
Kits from aftermarket sellers like Vais, Grom, iSimple and others allow you to use other devices as an aux input. Highly recommend looking at the Vais site and emailing your questions. Once you figure out how to get it into the current system, where are you going to mount it. I assume there are brackets and mounts that you can get and adapt (i.e: similar to cell phone and gps mounts). If you search the forums, I believe someone mounted an i-pad mini (or Samsung Galaxy) over the nav screen with velcro or similar. Search the forums and try to find those posts.
Alternatively, you can replace the head unit using the Beatsonic or other kits to update the electronics and go from there. This is a place to start. Figure out exactly what you have, what you want and you can get there step by step. I am not aware of any simple, all-in-one solutions but maybe others on this forum are. Good Luck.

my Ls430 2001 model the interior is same this one in the picture
what I want to accomplish is to install the Ipad in the dash in place of the radio unit i want to remove all of it and Keep the IPad in place of it
so i need some devices that can connect the IPad to the sound system of the LS430
same this video
only the ipad installation required
not the other modifications because it will cost me the price of the car itself 
I saw alot of videos but i did not found video that show all the steps one by one all of them cut the most important part which is the electronics and the wiring
thanks i hope my idea is clear
