[jdayment]

2001 LX470 I have power unit turns on but no sound. My wiring harness has ground wires for the speakers but the vehicle harness has no speaker grounds. Im using the diagram below. Where do i ground the speakers. I do have mark levinson i can turn the am on and off in the head unit. What do i need to do to get sound with factory speakers and amp?

I just installed a regular touch screen radio in my LX, I used a Axxess TYTO-01 to get sound.

Did you ever get it to work?

I just went through this process on my 2001 LX. Have a look: DIY: 2001 LX 470 Apple CarPlay stereo install, Mark Levinson Amp Removal, Speaker Replacement

I did but that was some time ago it was all just trial and error finding the correct grounds.

Mine is grounded all together (black wire and black w/ white stripe wire) so everything is grounded. I still get no audio from the speakers with the TYTO-01

I spliced everything and didn't use a harness.

So you didn’t use the Axxess harness? You bypassed your amp entirely

I also installed a Chinese Android unit and bypassed the amp completely under the seat. In fact the amp is ready to go on eBay one of these days. Still sounds great.

Correct I bypassed my amp entirely and removed it from the vehicle I am running everything off of my head unit I am not an audiophile so it does what it needs to for my use.
