Default Beatsonic kit knowlege?

I purchased a beatsonic kit for my ls430 because I plan to do a full sound system in my car, but it is for the Toyota celsior. I called beatsonic USA and they said they do not know if it will work I spoke to Sam Hagen of central pine and he told me there's no difference between the celsior and the ls430. Does anyone have any idea if it will work? Thats a pic of the kit also everything is in Japanese and I do not have any idea how to translate it I ordered it directly from japan.

This is the exact kit I bought back in 2015, when I get home tonight I'll see if I still have them. If I find it I'll scan it and forward to you (I'll let you know either way).

Long black cable is the antenna cable that needs to be routed to the trunk by the amplifier (right rear quarter panel).

The MVA-24 (black and white connector goes into the wire harness of the ones that you detached from the factory headunit & climate) I believe one is for the radio and the other is for the navi/climate control.

Thank you so much man I was told I needed the mva-24l for the ls430 cause the celsior was different. You have made my day =) I have been kicking myself cause I spent like $400 and change on that kit or whatever 49762 JPY is in American dollars lol

I don't have a Toyota Celsior I have a 2005 LS430, (I'm not familiar with Celsior). The picture above is the exact thing that came with my kit but the only difference was the directions was in English.

Sorry I thought you said you had Toyota Celsior, I read that wrong my fault.

This kit will work just make sure you connect all the wires correct (because I think there labeled in Japanese).

Yeah I went with a Pioneer 4100NEX (something like this) that had bluetooth, AUX, and USB ports. I wanted ApplePlay but at the time I didn't like the interface and I wanted to wait 2+ years so the engineers can perfect it.

Good luck

Message BeatSonic... they are an active member on this site and will quickly respond to you. Where did you order it from? There are several vendors in America that sell the correct kit...
