Is anyone making a purchase?

Is anyone making a purchase?

If anyone has a pic of the back of a late model headunit, I might. But I want to confirm that it is the right one for my car first. I found out with a Dension kit for the Honda that US models sometimes have different connections, despite coming from the same factory.

Hi all,

it works perfect :-) I bought the solution from GromAudio last week and installed it last monday.

Please have a look in my post from today:

Ipod Control Solution For Oem Stereo Is200/300 Finally Found

I bought both solutions. The one for IPOD and the one just for AUX in. As discribed in my post you just need the iPOD interfache with an extra cable to run your regular mp3 player or your other external audi source.

The instructions say it fits the is200/is300 steroes with seperate amps.

[yemgi]

it seems to not work for the early IS200s (with the lower CD changer type)

This is not correct!

There quite a few members in the board who have already successfully connected and using the Grom Audio iPod interface to a bottom loader cd OEM stereo. One example is SHAHZ (@ SHAHZ I hope its OK for you that I'm refering on your post). You can find his statement under the following link

How To Install The Gromaudio Ipod Adaptor In 1st Gen Is, (also headunit removal)

in post #21.

Some problems occured so far with the early Altezza stereos who seems to be different from the lexus one, even if they are looking the same and the connectors are fitting correctly.

The easiest way is ask Gromaudio in advance via mail if your are not sure if your specific stereo is supported. All known statements from grom Audio were so far, that

all Lexus IS stereos from 1999 to 2005 are supported.

So just try it. If it's not working, just send it back. This should not be a problem a tey have a very friendly customer support
