At this stage I'm not excited to have to pull the center console apart as I've only had it for 2 days. Seller refuses to pay to diagnose the problem (shocker) so I'm not sure what to do from here.
It's very confusing based on what works and doesn't...
Thank you everyone for your advise thus far, it's greatly appreciated. I'm going to throw a Hail Mary and go buy another aux cable just in case... Will keep you posted.

If you are not comfortable pulling it out yourself, take it to the lexus dealer to diagnose the problem, it will probably be an hour labor ~$130. This will also impact the entertainment system in the back, BTW can u operate CDs/DVDs from the back controls?

Well I pulled my ISF apart multiple times to fix the NAV. It's not that I'm uncomfortable pulling it apart, just hate pulling my new car apart! I guess I need to decide it it's worth $130 to have Lexus do it... Right now all I care about is the Aux working, don't have any CD's and all my music is on my iPhone.

I know how you feel, I also don't want to pull my new to me LS600hl apart to install BT streaming but in your case with things need fixing I would do it. It is pretty easy, 4 bolts and you are in there.Tee sent you the video, just follow the steps. You only need to pull the Mark Levenson out, you don't have to touch the NAV. The only trick is the inclined bolts holding the ML, make sure to use a towel to prevent losing them behind the floor carpet.

Well I pulled the ML and checked all connections. Everything seemed fine. Checked the AUX connection and it seemed fine. Removed all plus and reinserted them just in case. No luck.
Inserted a DVD and nothing happened. Didn't play anything or provide sound, just kept going back to the CD that plays without sound. I tried Video and I tried DVD-R and neither gave me picture or sound. Now I am at a complete loss...

At this time I am thinking the ML head, if there is a problem in the connection to the NAV it would not show FM stations/HDD/CD. $699 on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-LS460-LS600H-MARK-LEVINSON-RADIO-STEREO-AUDIO-CD-DVD-PLAYER-CHANGER-HYBRID-/181140243990?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ALS460&hash=item2a2cccc616&vxp=mtr
U can reuse the wood trim cover as it comes out.

I'm hesitant to throw $700 at the problem if that isn't it. Almost considering paying Lexus a diagnostic charge to see if they can better pinpoint the issue before I throw money at parts.
