Question How to tell if I have Nakimichi Soundsystem

Hi all,

I have a 2002 RX300 and am in the market for a bluetooth adapter for my car. However, the adapter will not work with a Nakimichi soundsystem.

Does anyone have a good way to be able to tell if I have this soundsystem? I want to be sure before I go out and buy a part.

Thanks!

There may be differences in the under-the-seat components, but the head unit is marked as in the photo above by the plastic tag, but nowhere else on the unit. Interestingly, head units (the dashboard portion) are interchangeable between Nakamichi and standard stereo vehicles. I have one of each, and I tried swapping the units between the two cars just out of curiousity. I actually think they're the same and that all the different parts are elsewhere in the car.
