2005 Lexus ES330 Mods
Hello peeps! I would like to thank you for taking a look at my post for this is my first one. I was recently given my mom's 2005 Lexus ES 330 w/ around 93,000 miles.
My car looks like this - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...exus_ES330.jpg
Now, I have taken a look at the car and I've been able to create a list of certain mods I would like to do.
1. Bluetooth/iPod Capability - Also be able to use steering wheel buttons to control iPod/iPhone
2. 20% Tint on All Windows
3. Four New Speakers (Changing the stock bottom speakers on each door)
And now for my questions. For the iPod/Bluetooth capability, what should I purchase? I've seen some adapters online, but I was wondering if any of you guys had any good/bad experiences with certain adapters.
Also, for the new speakers. What is the speaker size? And, would Alpine speakers be good for the Lexus? Or should I just keep it stock?
Thank you guys so much!

The speakers are fine, the sub is a bit weak compared to the system in my RX. My RX has an amazing stock sound system, much more powerful than the one in the ES.

Haha Yeah Ebp609si, my mom is the best! She was actually thinking about buying me a 2007 Acura TL Type S, but I didn't want her to spend more money so I just took the Lexus.
Anyways, about the subwoofer...I don't know too much about the subwoofer, but is it possible for me to change the subwoofer and the amp? I'm thinking Alpine.

So, I could get a whole new speaker system going on? For an example -
Replacing all four 6 1/2 door speakers to Alpine
Replacing all the Tweeters to Alpine
Adding an Alpine Type R Subwoofer
Adding an Alpine Amp
And how many watts do you I need to power all of this? I'm not good at this stuff, sorry.
