Good luck.... I too have a 2000 GS300 and I spent most of the weekend finding a harness. For the faceplate, check out Circuit City. I got mine there for under $20. As for the harness, they will give you one that SAYS it will work, but the connector is wrong and the pinouts are wrong.

I am waiting to get a mechanic's manual, and that promises to have the pinouts for the radio. I did find a toyota harness (all i can recall is that it fit the 1997) that has the correct connector. As soon as I get the manual, I will be spending time to rework the pinouts on the harness. I have done a lot of searching on the internet and have not found anything for the 2000 GS300. It is like 1. it doesnt exist or 2. super complicated that no one wants to touch.

In the end, I will have a new Panasonic stereo and have the Sirus satellite hardwired. (i hope)

If I do get it to work, be sure I will post it here.

 

Metra makes a mounting kit. Part number is 99-8152. They do not make a harness adaptor however.
