[vn-tech] Best way to hookup MP3 player

[Dang Nguyen]

Well, I can't seem to find a match for your vehicle.  You might talk to
their customer service.  They might have one that works; there may be a
Toyota adapter that fits, but it's not listed under Lexus.  I know they have
some adapters that can work inline with an existing CD Changer whereby the
adapter switches between changer or aux input.
