Rarity of Manual IS200 Yellow?
We have a red IS250X manual, I assume it just a rare. Great car not as cool as the 200 but fun all the same. -

Aftermarket Head Unit for 2015 IS 350 F Sport – AUX input
If anything AUX should be slightly higher quality than Bluetooth as there there isn't an extra codec in the middle butchering the audio stream. I've been using a iPod 5G in my IS250 since 2009 which uses a line level input like the AUX port and sound quality is faultless. -

Aftermarket Head Unit for 2015 IS 350 F Sport – AUX input
Aftermarket Head Unit for 2015 IS 350 F Sport – Will AUX Affect Mark Levinson Sound Hi everyone, This is my first post here. I drive a 2015 IS 350 F Sport and have been considering upgrading the head unit to an aftermarket one (see attached images). My main goal is to enable Apple CarPlay and get a more modern screen — honestly, it feels like the only thing missing to make this car feel futureproof (at least for the next 5 years!). I’m really into music, and I love the punchy bass and overall sound quality of the factory Mark Levinson system. Currently, I stream Spotify via Bluetooth from my iPhone, and the audio quality is excellent. The aftermarket unit I'm considering connects to the car's audio system via the AUX input. My question is: for those who’ve done a similar upgrade or have experience with this setup — does routing audio through AUX noticeably degrade the Mark Levinson sound quality compared to Bluetooth streaming? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -
