[QUOTE="Electrodynamic, post: 5903827, member: 548723"] I've done some more work on the Lexus recently. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] I'll start with the remote progress. I first took the volume control out of the car and started dissecting it and the 3sixty's remote. You can see from these pics how I just tore apart the volume control section of the volume control, as I need the climate part to control the HVAC in my car. [IMG]http://www.stereointegrity.com/images/Lexus/remote.jpg[/IMG] The volume control came apart pretty easy, but I was really hesitant to snip the tiny little circuit board traces and/or connections out of old habbit. However, the volume control wasn't going to be used ever again in this car and you can buy used assembly's on ebay for cheap. [IMG]http://www.stereointegrity.com/images/Lexus/remote2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.stereointegrity.com/images/Lexus/remote3.jpg[/IMG] The metal "spider" carrier had to have the middle hole hogged out to accept the 3sixty's knob, but other than that the unit fit right up to it. Thankfully RF supplied extra nuts and washers to attach the remote to another face so I used that to secure the remote to the board. [IMG]http://www.stereointegrity.com/images/Lexus/remote4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.stereointegrity.com/images/Lexus/remote5.jpg[/IMG] And then I noticed that the shaft of the 3sixty remote BARELY fit inside the white plastic housing. What that meant was I couldn't drill a hole in the factory black extension to go over the 3sixty's knob. So what I had to do was sand down the factory plastic shaft and make a tiny blade so it would fit inside the 3sixty's slot.

So what I had to do was sand down the factory plastic shaft and make a tiny blade so it would fit inside the 3sixty's slot. I also had to cut slots in the outter housing to accept the 3sixty's board and also cut a hole in the back of the unit to accept the new remote's board.
