Default Cheap AUX input and more!!!

I just received this today to give me an AUX input via the cd changer connector for the base stereo (not levinson) in my 2001 GS430 http://www.ebay.com/itm/271785729017?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
It made a world of difference in the sound quality and actually satisfied my desire to install my complete aftermarket stereo setup for the time being. i'm also using this usb adapter to get direct audio from my Note 4 and bypass the internal headphone amp in the phone to get 24 bit audio straight to the deck http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-NEW-Behringer-U-CONTROL-UCA222-USB-Audio-Interface-Adapter-in-Box-GO-/271868862740?hash=item3f4ca5a114
pm me if you have any questions




I'm pretty sure this is the same as the Blitzsafe TOY/AUX DMX V.2 2003-2008 Toyota Aux Audio Input Adapter, just with no labels. Comes with Ipod connectivity cable with lightening connect adapter





The Beringer USB Audio interface

I wonder if this would plug and work into a 2000 Lexus GS400 Nakamachi deck.

Does it actually let you change music from our factory head unit? or change anything on the display? Or just strictly controlled through the iPod, iPhone or whatever.

cdiiwu its a good chance this might work for you. can you get a pic of the back of your radio/nav to see what connections it has??

Wrath it just displays a generic cd reading while I use it wih my android phone, i do believe you can control i-devices from the radio itself though

I can confirm it's a 12 pin connector. It looks like it should at least connect to your deck. I would try it considering you can return it if it doesn't work out
