[vn-tech] Best way to hookup MP3 player

[Dang Nguyen]

So it sounds like you have the factory radio installed.  In that case, you
don't need to know the make & model of the radio; if it was an aftermarket
stereo, then you would.  What year is your ES300, and does it have CD
changer control?  The latter is important, because the car makers constantly
change their connectors.

Thanks for the quick respond.
I did a quick search and didn't find my car on the list.
car model: lexus es300,
stereo model: you are kidding right? I don't even know the make of it, not
to mention model. Whatever the OEM model is.
