Well there's not much picture-wise to update except the deadening of the rear seat area.
This was the feeble beginning:
And the best deadener out there (performance, affordability, it sticks VERY well even without a heat gun):
And the result:
Besides that, I
HATE Lexus and their douche-baggery in not allowing anyone to integrate with the factory head unit!!!! I installed the 3sixty.2 and had noise right off the bat. This is with the car NOT running! I tried everything - ran a power wire from the distribution block to the 3sixty, that didn't work. I jumped the 3sixty to be always on to eliminate the remote lead, that didn't work. The ground is fine - it goes the same ground of my distribution block.
There is a constant scratchy/ticking noise that goes through the system that I can't get rid of. I even went out and bought two ground loop isolators and installed them after the 3sixty, that didn't work either.
No one makes an adapter for behind the head unit except on that allows you to install a new head unit. So if you install the adapter behind the factory head unit, your factory head unit won't turn on. Now I'm two things: F*cked, and pissed off. Now I have to buy a double-din head unit in order to have good sound.
So while I was deadening the rear seat area I went ahead and ran the Tara Labs Spectrum 3A interconnects.
Oh, and I ordered a Kenwood DDX7017 double-din head unit last night also.
