How to get bluetooth in a 2009 IS 250 AWD Navigation With Mark Levinson
Does anyone know a way to add bluetooth Music audio to a 2009 IS 250 AWD Navigation With Mark Levinson ? Im all about music and I hate wires so is there some way to make my car have bluetooth audio? Im usually good at figuring this kinda stuff out but on this car I am stumped.

I could have sworn 2009 was the first for bluetooth audio in the IS model, at least in the IS350, which I assume would have meant the 250 too. I going to assume your car did not come with blue t.ooth package. If so, there are threads on how to do this with some adapters that use the USB or cigaretter power ports. Just do a search.
If it did or your car has radio controls on it, I would suggest the Vais Technology SL3B-L ( ). It's a bit pricer option, $229US, but it uses the stock equipment and keeps the OEM look (if you want to do that). I find it works better than Lexus's version in my experience with loaner cars I used with bluetooth audio. If you do use that route, I recommend putting the box in the center console next to the gear shifter. You'll need to pull out all the coverings because there is a brace and the wires are too thick to go over it and need to be run under it; it's under the ashtray. I have this unit in my car. I believe I did a post about it somewhere on here.
