How to Upgrade the Car Stereo on a Lexus RX330, Add USB Ports and Run Microphone to Light Dome

This video shows how I upgraded my stereo system for my 2004 Lexus RX330.

I also added USB ports for a direct charge and to my stereo head unit.

My RX330 has factory navigation and does not have Mark Levinson nor the DVD Entertainment System. And yes, my climate controls and factory navigation still works.

I spent $117 for the wiring harness / dash kit / steering wheel controls and $457 for the double-din stereo head unit. With this dash kit, you can use a single or double-din head unit.

Also, be advised, USB hubs / splitters are not compatible to current car stereo head units unless you just want to purely use them for power, no data.
