How to Install an Aftermarket Radio and Bypass Factory Amp | Lexus IS300

How to Install an Aftermarket Radio and Bypass Factory Amp | Lexus IS300

It is literally easy as 2 and 2 put together. Factory head unit wasn’t cutting it anymore so i definitely had to purchase me an aftermarket head unit. The head unit has a better signal output than the factory amp’s signal output so a bypass was needed. Speakers aren’t cutting it either so stay tuned for that install!!

With the bypass harness and your new stereo harness, you would just connect them exactly by color. Few wires will get left alone so put those aside and proceed. Any questions?

Is it bright at night, or can you turn off the screen while driving? I've had a grombox in mine for a while, and I really appreciate the dark and orange interior lighting. I wouldn't want to introduce a bright screen, but I like the idea of having navigation right there, and modernizing the interior a lil

Do you get power and ground out of the harness as well? Or do you have to do splice anything?

Castle says:

I see the amp bypass is out of stock. Is there another place to get it??

Kevin Correa says:

So do you put the factory amp back in place after installing the aftermarket radio?

Thanks for covering the amp removal. I watched this and still ended up tearing my hands to ribbons. Still… I'd still be in my car yanking at the thing if I hadn't watched this, much appreciated
