Ok then , I have a Pumpkin Android stereo in my Lexus IS200 [ same as the IS300 but with a 2 liter straight 6 ] , anyhow I did away with the Lexus stock stereo system completely and now run two amps new speakers blah blah .
The point is that the Pumpkin unit starts up in about 2 seconds or less !!
It runs OREO Android and I'm thrilled to bits with it .
As my 430 has the touch screen if I were to replace that I would need a unit that is 430 specific for the on screen air con controls....however all the units that do that have slow start up times compared to my Pumpkin unit and I would not be able to live with that .
Plus the people who have fitted it are only mildly satisfied or so it seems ??
However I have seen one 430 where the touch screen was left completely stock and the mini disc and cd player where removed and the android unit fitted in there .
My question is can this be done and still use the stock 430 system ?
I can I buy an adapter cable to help me do this or do I need to wire it from scratch ?
Will an after market Android stereo run the factory amp at all as in the IS it basically cannot be done and you have to bypass the factory amp .
Take in mind I will not need the CD player as I have gone completely CD and DVD free .
Also the new Pumpkins are now PIE .
All and any help will be much appreciated .
