QUESTION: Ernesto, I have a 2002 lexus es 300 with the mark levinson stereo and navigation and would like to know the most cost effective way to install a aux input to be able to listen to my stereo with another input device. I've tried the FM modulator route and the sound quality was horrible an there was quite a bit of "Bleed" through from fm channels. would appreciate some ideas.

ANSWER: Do you have a external cd changer ? not DVD and what input device  you have ?

QUESTION: Ernesto,
Yes,there  is a 6 disk cd changer that is stock and is under the center console

Answer
CUT THE LOOM of the CD changer wiring plug at the radio or CD changer location
there is a double shield cable inside, this are the audio cables, you have to cut them they are white and red and solder 2 RCA jack to the radio side and 2 RCA jack to the changer side
unplug the CD changer works but there is no audio,
now install this audio switcher and  plug your portable device, if you send audio the cd changer will stop
if you stop the audio the CD changer will play again in 5 seconds

good luck
