Welcome Mike. I'm moving your thread to the Lexus electronics section where all the stereo guru's hang out. I believe there are a couple of people with the head unit you have in their GS.

 

Are you getting rid of your supra?

 

Yes its for sale.$22,000 with stock rims or $23500 with your choice of 19in rims or 18in rims plus all the stock parts this is a picture of the car

 

Your amp is behind the glove department box and is very easy to get to. Once you know how it is also very easy to get the stock radio out to.. here are the directions that VVT-i gave me:


Use a small flat head screw driver( tape it with tape, so it won't damage your interior) and pry on the side of the center vent. There're 4 clips holding the center vent.
Then do the same on the ashtray, but I find it easier just to pop the shifter cover( still 4 clips holding it). You have to put the car in N or another range to clear it. After that you will see 4-10mm bolt+1 clip holding the radio head unit.
I think there's some intruction in CL about this, but you have to do the search. Good luck.
