you could use accesories. Try the cigarette lighter

Yep, any wire that has 12v when the car is on should work fine. Just don't go for a constant 12v or you'll drain the battery pretty quickly.

You should really only connect Accessory to your amp's remote connection.

I haven't done this to my IS250 but I've done it many times with other cars in the past.

yep! ive connected it to my cig lighter, wasnt as hard as i thought, what an easy car to take apart haha! thanks guys!

Also, just a question to anyone who HAS installed an aftermarket sub + amp, how did you connect the high/low converter (or the LOC) which speaker/s did you connect it to? and hows the aftermarket sub sound?

The reason im asking is because im really unhappy with the way mine is, ive connected the LOC (both + and - from the converter to the stock ML sub) and some songs the sub barely works, and other songs sound weird where there will be hardly any bass, to head throbbing bass! what have i done wrong? how can i fix this??

You know there is two channels coming out of the stock amp to the stock sub yeah?

You have to put the converter on both channels to take to the new amp.

so thats def my problem? how should i go about changing this? when i disconnected my stock sub there were only 2 wires connected to it (green and brown) and ive connected the wires from the LOC, the 2 + to the green, and the 2 - to the brown. is that where ive gone wrong?

how else have people connected their LOC?
