    An illustrated guide to replacing your APPS - Part 1

    I just changed out my APPS in a 99 LX 470. A few notes. HUGE NOTE: I had to unplug the battery for 20 minutes to reset the computer for the new sensor to work. Installing the new sensor is extremely easy if you follow the advice given in the OP and insert 20 degrees or so (10:30/11 o'clock)...

    99 LX470 Aftermarket Stereo with Factory AMP replaced

    YezusLX, I don't how much the sound deadening made much of a difference. I think doing the doors had to do something, other than the back of the plastic panel there wasn't much there. They say the 80/20 rule works for this where 20% of area sound deadened for 80% of the effect and most of the LX...

    99 LX470 Aftermarket Stereo with Factory AMP replaced

    I made an error in my original post and wish I could edit it out. MycroBybass doesn't bypass the reverse trigger. I don't think it even connects to the reverse wire at all.

    99 LX470 Aftermarket Stereo with Factory AMP replaced

    99 LX470 Aftermarket Stereo with Factory AMP replaced

    Agent T, here is a photo of it mounted. I'd recommend getting some thin weather stripping and glueing it around the deck. The trim kit leaves a gap. I didn't stick the weather stripping down enough on the left side so you can see the gap better there. Also the weather stripping helps push the...

    99 LX470 Aftermarket Stereo with Factory AMP replaced

    I recently replaced the factory Nakamichi Amp and Head unit for a 99 LX470 with the Nakamichi sound system. There are so many long threads and dead ends or don't replace the AMP. Hopefully this helps someone. New Setup: Alpine Alpine iLX-W650 ($320 goes for $430 now) - Head unit with CarPlay...
