Put some washers behind the top two screws so this way your radio will line up a bit better with the vents

Would’ve been nice if you showed us the wiring process

If you adjust those screws in the back and pull them out for a little bit, that’s how you adjust the fitment before you fully mount the system you do have to put it in and take it out so until you get the proper fitment, but you can adjust that socomes out flush with everything else. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I just did this install for my son's car. I had to buy some micro screws to attach the bracket pieces from the kit to the existing frame. I believe the thread size was 2-56, or 3-48. I used washers and nuts because there wasn't a lot of threads to use on the frame and it seemed like it would be too weak otherwise. Thanks especially for how the brackets worked.

Just bought a 2008 250 Luxury, thank you so much.

Great video! I was looking at installing a head unit into my IS, but it looked so confusing.. & there weren't many proper videos on how to install a head unit into an IS. But this video will help me out a ton. Soon I will have myself a lockdown project, thanks for the great vid!

You know what's crazy I feel like YouTube can read my mind like I'll be thinking about stuff and start seeing them in YouTube, I think about cars and I install head unit and my bro just posted one too😂

Just bought the same and started installing in my 2is. Unable to control a/c at this time (unable to figure out the canbus module) but leaving it for the weekend. Thanks for uploading this! video!

There is bluetooth on the stock radio! Its voice activated using the “🗣️ “ button on the steering wheel. Took me a while to figure it out but it works

There should be an AC info screen you have to allow It in the settings I can see what temperature the ac is at

[RiverKeenan]

Was wondering when this install was coming. Congrats! Lol I’m scared to even try.

Recently did this and it works good and sounds better then my am fm tuner I used before this
cons- reboot takes awhile (yes I have the android 12 version)
Rear defrost/mirror defrost does not have an option so it doesn’t work
Seat heaters and coolers do not work (I think they are constantly on low now)
Even with gps connected the maps only work when I’m connected with my phone /internet,
Fitment is off and no a “washer” will not fix this, either you can make the sides line up and have a gap up top or vice versa

Pros
Cheaper then getting a new nav stereo
Looks good
Retains steering control functions
Equalizer is a million times better then the Lexus factory software
Styling looks oem

[talkr]

Lets goo! I was waiting for this video. Its my birthday tomorrow and my parents gave me money to buy a headunit

[juanthomasmarrero]

Hi, I bought the same screen but the touch screen doesn't work for me to set the air conditioning and other things like the time. I don't know if you had any problems with this, do you know how to set it? thank you.

[theunstoppabledriver]

Thanks for the vid & pointing out nuances.

[PabloHassan]

Hey Christian, I love your taste in car and the way you present the videos. Keep on going :)

[wanhunnidgaming]

I have the same unit and couldn’t figure out the climate controls for the longest time. You have to go under the extra settings and choose the correct canbus setting to get the climate control display to show.

[kassandrab]

This is my next mod! Tired of the little screen on the dash on my 2is 🙄

[ahberlowkz]

Also I’m pretty sure that head unit has an eq and you can turn down the bass
