Ditto ..... I have an '01 GS430 and I can get to the P190 screen but I don't know how to access the Audio menu after that to get to the P1, F, R, L settings.

If I hold the Disc buton down for 2 seconds the stereo reverts to normal(i.e. plays music)

HOLD DOWN the AM Button after it reads P-190....Hold it down untill the next display work. I put P1 at 275, P2 at 175 and L at10...

I TRIED that .... apparently something changed between the 98-00 and 01-05 head units because no matter how long I hold the AM button down I can't access the Audio menu.

If you can show me someone with an 01-05 that has accessed the menu I'd appreciate it.

Seems to be quite complicated, see this page:

does the oem sound system mod work for Nakamichi sound?? seems like several people have asked, but no one has yet confirmed this. I have a 98 and after reading the testimonials, my hopes are recklessly going up lol, want to know if it will work, before I go out to my car at almost 2am and in 20 degree weather (leather is your enemy, and does scold you in these circumstances) THANKS ALL

If you read through the beginning post this is possible to do with Navigation, btw I think to get to the NAV diagnostics turn the key to ON then hold the climate and audio buttons down while turning the park lights on and off about 3 times. I don't have nav. but someone else that's done this might be able to advise you on this

I don't remember seeing anything pertaining to changing the audio settings in there. It's more of a diagonostic screen to make sure all of the ECU's are working.
