Greetings from a HOT Palm Springs, California! 119 degrees today! I was the solver of the "Mystery Center Console Trunk Release" a couple of months ago. I hope you remember. Anyway, your SC looks GREAT! The red seats are beautiful. Don't you think it's surprising that more people with leather car seats don't use the spray paints available for damaged and cracked leather seats? My SC has the Ecru color, and I lightly spray the driver's seat usually a couple of times a year, and the spray paint makes the seat look brand new again. It's like magic! And it's so easy to do! But I'll trade my Ecru color for your red seats any day of the week - they're just beautiful! One suggestion - MINI SPLITS. Why you don't have a mini-split in your beautiful garage is beyond me. You must be dying in that Florida heat! Even here in Palm Springs, I have a 2 ton Mitsubishi Mini-Split for my garage. I would suggest a swamp cooler, but I don't think it would work with your humidity. Keep up the GREAT work! We'll talk again. 😊

I’m glad you’re liking how the cars turning out, I was hesitant about dyeing my interior but I’m so happy with how it turned out! Really neat about your spray, what kind/brand is it? I’ll have to check it out! I have two portable AC units but so those help keep me somewhat alive in there but yes I need to look into those mini splits! How has yours been, would you recommend the same kind? That is definitely up next on my to-do list😂😂 Very good to hear from you again, thanks for the comment and for watching!

The seats look fantastic. Love that they match the brake calipers. The black seat belts and seatbacks look perfect--glad you left them black, as they match the rest of the interior. Sucks about the front speakers. You may be right about the wiring being done incorrectly before you got it, and if you just used the same config, you would run into any problems the previous owner had. Patience is the name of the game. I LOL'd at your description of the working on wiring in the FL heat/humidity. I am in SoCal and we had 103 degrees a couple days ago, but as the locals say, "it's a dry heat". 🙄. This car is going to be so freakin sweet when it's done! Can't wait to see it. I have had a bunch of Lexus', but never an SC 430, and I have always wanted one of these. This series totally makes me want to try and find a good one. Not ready to part with my GS 350 just yet though (just bought it last fall). Congrats on the merch! The SC sticker is sweet!

I recently purchased a sc430 with an aftermarket head unit and it wasn't working well. I spent lots of time getting it working. From my understanding, if you want to use the factory amplifier and retain the navigation features and have some usage of the steering wheel controls with an aftermarket head unit, you need to use something like the beat sonic mva-12l. The sc430 factory amp only takes in 2 channels and splits it to the 8 speakers + sub. Otherwise you can just put in your own amplifier to connect to all speakers. When I received my car, the head unit was only connected directly to 4 speakers via the internal amp in the head unit and wasn't even using the factory amp. This was not good because it was only powering the front woofers and rear speakers and sounded horrible. It already had the mva-12l, but was not correctly wired.

@@timsimmons-wd1bm yes, I got it working with the factory amp playing through all 8 speakers + sub, but I had to rewire the beat sonic mva-12l. When I bought the car, the head unit was directly wired to only 4 speakers, but after re-wiring and buying a missing wire from beat sonic, I was able to get the speakers to work as intended through the factory amp. Also when connecting a new head unit to the factory amp the volume might be low or missing. Pressing the "mode" button on the steering wheel, "resets" something in the amp to handle the change in signal to get volume.
