How do i replace my stock stereo for an after market stereo in a 1995 lexus sc400
There are several steps:
1. Take out the center cup-holder (it pops out with a little tug upward). unscrew the 2 screws.
2. On the shifter (lower part) there is a cover that covers 2 screws, unscrew and remove the shifter knob.
3.Take a pick tool and lift the shifter bezel console (black) it also pops up.. there are 3 or 4 connecters (disconnect with a small flat head screwdriver)
4. Once the shift cover is removed, there are several screws and tabs holding the bezel trim down unscrew the screws and lift bezel trim up,
5. Disconnect the ash-tray (blue connector)
6. Disconnect the hazard signal control , volume control connector and the climate control connector.( On the left side)
7. There are 4 screws holding the the radio and climate unit cage to the dash frame. (unscrew)
8. Now it gets a little tight, pull the unit towards you slightly and disconnect to connectors for the climate control unit (on top) and the factroy radio (on the bottom).
9. Next remove the radio and climate control unit from the cage(screws on the sides).
10. Next you will need a new cage: Metra 95-8157B Double DIN Installation Kit for 1992-2000 Lexus SC300 and SC400 (Black)

Before I post this for you, I just wanted to let you know that you can buy an aftermarket harness that plugs right into your existing harness. Then it allows you to hook up to the wires without cutting your factory wires. They might even have it at Wal-Mart for less than $15. Anyway here are the specs. Don't forget to vote if this helped you out:

Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Gray
Car Radio Ground Wire: Brown
Car Radio Illumination Wire: N/A
