1. How to install an auxiliary input so you can play your IPOD/MP3 player and XFM.
This installation will allow you to control the audio using the Lexus factory radio. So yes, you can adjust the volume, left/right, front/back, bass/mid/treble, and keep all the features it already had.
After completing the steps you will have an additional (headphone) jack located on the floor between the two front seats.
This is where you can plug any audio device that has a headphone jack and play it through your RX 300 Lexus audio system. The quality of the sound is perfect. You don't have to waste money on the FM transmitters or the clunky cassette tape hook ups. Those devices can't come close the the frequency response of having a direct line to you audio system.
I was able to do this installation in less than 2 hours.

Here is how I listed it on ebay....
How to install an Auxiliary Audio input so you can play your IPOD, MP3 player or
XFM. Basically anything with a headphone jack. ( With NAV or Without NAV
1998-2002 RX-300) This step by step installation will allow you to control the
audio using the Lexus factory radio. So yes, you can adjust the volume,
left/right, front/back, Bass/Mid/Treble, and keep all the features it already
had. After it is installed you just select the CD and it will play through your
system. I got tired of using the FM transmitter and the cassette connection
because of the hiss so I had to find a better solution. So I spent $80.00 on the
electrical drawings for the RX-300 and found the cheapest, easiest and most
efficient way to do it. So you only have to pay a fraction of the cost and you
get the pictures step by step. Its Easy! Basically, if you can splice a few
wires and either crimp, use a wire nuts or solder them together (do what you are
familiar with) then this will be easy for you. What is really cool is you DON'T
have to remove the radio or the CD changer! Now you can hear your MP3 through
the great stereo that Lexus put in our cars.! My phone# will be on the procedure
if you need some help...
