your ls600hl has the exec package? so there is a separate dvd player in the back right? i think that system is kind of independent from the front. hard to explain why that one is not playing any video at all
the front it sounds like a bad head unit to me, given that both aux and cd doesn't work.
the empty slots behind the nav, playing from my memory but i think that's ok. i think at least the white one is empty like you have in the picture. the nav unit is just getting graphic stuff from head unit. you are not hearing audio in cd and can't get into aux, that's basically problem of the head unit.
all plugs behind the head unit are present? if i remember correctly, on driver side there are 2 circular plugs. on passenger side, it's 2 rows of plugs, upper row should be 3 white ones. lower row should have 4?

Was thinking about the Aux switch as I read on some other forums that that part is known to go bad on several Toyota's. It's about $100. To be honest all I really care about it the aux working as all my music is on my phone.

Thanks man. I appreciate you getting back with me. The weirdest part of all of it is that I can burn from a cd (which plays but I don't get sound) and then play it through the HDD and it plays fine...

Head unit bad or not can be confirmed by completely shutting down the entertainment system in the back and tying to play cd or DVD on the NAV screen in the front. Forget completely about the system in the back. If it does not play head is bad.

So I have 3 options:1. Local Lexus dealership will install a new one for $900
2. Buy a used one on eBay for $650 shipped and hope for the best
3. Pull it, send it to United Radio, hope they get to it asap, and then find out how much they will charge to fix it, wait for them to fix it, then have it mailed back.
#1 sounds like the least hassle but could end up costing double what #3 might cost.
#3 would be great except I could be without a stereo for 2 weeks and they can't give me a price until they inspect it... It's not really not having a stereo, more like having a gaping hole in my center console... Decisions decisions.
What do you guys think?

Option 1 is the best one for this senecio, thanks for the follow up and bringing closure to your thread. When someone comes along with the same issue down the road they will know how things ended.

Thanks guys. Yeah, while it may be refurbished I do get the year warranty on it which is big for me. It doesn't seem like a lot of these go bad compared to the amp so hopefully this one will last a while. Thank you again everyone for your guidance. Whenever it gets in and I get it installed I'll post up the results to verify if everything is working again.
Oh yeah, the reason why the rear wasn't working was user error! Apparently I put a blu-Ray disc in accidentally.
