ROB LS400

Cannot get the cassette player or CD to works on my 1994 LS , so im looking to put in my own head unit .

Does anybody know where i can get a Din plate to fit the gap the old radio would leave.?

Cheers

Rob,

A few days have passed BUT I do have a digital pic of the unit and you can see where to put in the SIM-card...only question is how to post the pic in this posting....help anyone?

I've decided to rip out the phone in the arm rest . Cannot find the sim holder.

I've found the big box , but no other box is in the boot , just wires.

think somebody must have taken it out .

Rob,

The big black box in the trunk looks like it is built up by two parts. A big one and on top of it a smaller one. The slot is on the small side faced towards you (faced towards back of the car) in the small one, at the bottem of it. Chek if that's the case, if you cant find i'll take a digi pic of it and send it to you.

Good luck, greets

Thanks folks for your precious help.

That's what I found out until now: Morola used to mount 2 different phone into Lexus models. One was a removable system (Microtac I think), the other was a fixed system built into the central armrest and way more expensive. That one has a fixed cord and a steering wheel mounted command unit, as you both mentioned. It also has an output of 8 Watts, way more than a conventional GSM phone. The antenna is the thin vertical line visible in the middle of the rear window, not the connector in the standard retractable radio antenna.

The card can be inserted in 2 different locations. One is in the base of the phone holder in the armrest ( there's a small gap at the bottom where the card goes in) or in the trunk where the unit is located under the bottom cover on the left side. Strangely the position in the trunk seems to work always but not so for the card access in the armrest. For both you need a full size card.

This just for the records as it doesn't look as if I'm the only one experiencing problems with this.

Just brought my first Lexus LS400 . I've looked at the phone in the arm rest and no slot there. and in the boot on the lefthand side i've found a big black box but cannot find this slot for the card . My car is a '94 . Where's this slot for the card ?

Thanks
