Default LS460 ML Add Aux input?

Just got my first LS460 -07, this modell have the ML sound but no Aux. Soo im stuck with listening to CD or radio at this time.

I want to have the possibility to play from external source via Aux or Bluetooth. Does anyone have a solution on how to do this? Priority is to get good quality and easy to install, and that the original features in the nav/stereo/cam is mainained.

Unless I am mistaken, the aux input is in the center console. I thought they all had it.

Most of them have, but unfortunately not this one. Same with the source, i guess it says Disc/Aux. On this one only Disc. And its only 12v in the center console. Dont know if its specific for the region because its European car...

You can daisy chain one or more together; they will show up as additional CD changers.

If you've yanked the head, then adding a vais plug in will be your answer. Depending on what you are wanting, they have several options. If you're were wanting the aux to plug in an ipod, consider adapter with the USB. You can store plenty of music on a 128gb flash drive. If you want to use your phone and have unlimited streaming, go with the bluetooth. Lot's of cool options.

Many options indeed! Bluetooth is a smooth way, the question is the quality? Cant find any info if Vaistech SL3B suporting APT-X or AAC. If its not it might be better to go for the Aux 3,5mm? The ML system has a great sound itself so would be bad to loose quality on the way.

go for USB. At the very least you can charge your phone with it and it gives you the ability to use an iPod or usb drive.

BT will stream whatever bitrate the music is recorded in; APT-X or AAC needs to be supported on the device doing the streaming.

The SL3B from Vaistech works as advertised. I'ver had mine for about a month now and it is awesome. Blutooth sound quality is impressive. No buttons to push, Bluetooth audio is always there and ready. I use music stored on my Samsung Galaxy S6. I can play Tunedin radio app, etc
