Vehicle-Specific Amp Bypass Harness
The Metra Electronics AXABH-LX2 is a direct-fit harness for the Lexus IS 300 produced from 2006 to 2009. It enables installers to bypass the factory amplifier when fitting an aftermarket head unit. The plug-and-play design avoids cutting or splicing the original vehicle wiring.
Factory Wiring Preservation
The harness uses 20 gauge conductors and measures 12 inches in length to reach the factory amplifier location. Its OEM-style connectors plug directly into the vehicle harness and the amplifier input. This approach keeps the factory loom intact for future restoration or resale.
Lexus IS 300 2006-2009 Compatibility
This part fits only the Lexus IS 300 for model years 2006 through 2009. It replaces the earlier AX-AB-LX2 reference. Vehicles outside this model range or those without a factory amplifier require a different integration solution.
