I recently brought a Lexus RX 350 and i find this wire coming out of the radio section..is this a MP3 player and if it is...how do i turn it on. I look at the booklet and don't see anything about it. here is a picture of it
That is definitely something the previous owner installed and from the looks of it, not very well. Unless you know the previous owner, there is probably no way to find out how it works.
I am amazed that you saw a wire like that coming out of a crack in the dashboard and looked in the manual to see what Lexus has to say about it. Not even the Cobalt had attachments for accessories like that. The other amazing thing is that the previous owner could stand to look at that day after day.
Tricky to tell by the photo but that looks like a mini USB connector. No telling where it goes. It could be connected to the stereo system or it could only be connected to power.
