I think the very worse thing that can happen to an LS350 owner is radio/audio problems. Everything else can be fixed by someone --even if you have to go to a Lexus dealer. But the dealer won't touch the radio or amp. And they have no suggestions on how /where to get it fixed. I live in a relatively small to medium size community where the radio shops only know how to install new systems --they won't even consider a repair.

 

I can see why they wouldn't know how to fix it being as tho they dont know what a LS350 is. Neither do anyone else for that matter.

 

haha... Slvr. Audio are "throw away" now. No shop is going to FIX when they can just replace.

 

damage is usually on the radio circuit board. in most cases, the manufacturer won't let you order just the circuit board. only the assembly. same goes for the amplifier. if i were you i would just go aftermarket or look for a used oem part.

 

LS350?? Is that the 3.5L V6 model?? this is NEW!!! haha Just playing with you! But, get your car models straight tho.

You are better off just purchasing a aftermarket radio cause most likely the OEM Radio will cost more unless you find a used one from a member here or on ebay/amazon.

 

I don't hear too many LS430 navs going bad. I'm sure some do over time. My car has been garaged the majority of it's life so hopefully the lack of harsh elements (sun) will keep it going. Nav goes, car is useless.

 

Well EXCUUUUUSE me! (-:

Sorry, it's, of course, an LS 430.

I was so pissed at not having a decent radio I messed that up.

 

haha were just teasing you bro, I know how you feel with no radio in the ride, but like i said your better off getting a after market radio. Unless you have the NAVI then you gotta find the same unit cause it's connected to everything on your dash. I got a friend with a G35 and he replaced his radio with a double din head unit and they were able to integrate all the components to the after market unit, which was cool to me, not sure if there able to do the same with our head unit tho.
