Welcome back,, and by the way,, since you seem to have EVERY communication form know to man,, you may want to pay attention to center screen and add some oil to your car. LOL!!!

Ahh,, that dreaded sensor. Good deal. I also concur with the Navigation shroud. Really good work and almost does look factory.

Its a true ls400 wheel. There is a place you can send them the wheel and have them redo the leather and add the wood trim. I think you can order the kit and do it yourself.

Its not too cheap. Mine is just a wrap cover. Cheap i know but i like it.


Or this place too.

The stereo will work just fine,,,,the CD changer not so much. Just gives an excuse to upgrade the audio. Sometimes the "Errr" will come upi if there is no disc in the changer,, but if it does it with a full cartridge,, then yeah,, changer is toast.

you guys seemed to examine every inch of my cockpit LOL

yes, the changer cant read CD anymore. i use iPod and hack the wiring between HU and changer (followed a thread here) to get the music out. I just need to turn CD on, the err is there but system works perfectly.
