Does the 2015 LS not have a USB port? I have the base radio setup, not the touchscreen. How can I stream music?

Hey there! If you’re looking to stream music in your 2015 LS with the base radio setup, you might have noticed it doesn’t come with a USB port. But don’t worry, you’ve still got options:
- FM Transmitter: These handy devices let you play music from your phone through an FM frequency on your car’s radio. Just plug it into the cigarette lighter port, and you’re good to go.
- Bluetooth Adapter: If you’ve got an AUX input, a Bluetooth adapter can make it wireless. Connect the adapter to the AUX, pair it with your phone, and enjoy your tunes without the cables.
- Auxiliary Cable: The old-school method—just plug one end into your phone and the other into the car’s AUX input for a direct line to your stereo.
- Cassette Adapter: Got a cassette player? There’s an adapter for that too. It connects to your phone’s headphone jack and plays music through the tape deck.
For the crispest sound, an auxiliary cable is your best bet. But if you prefer going cordless, Bluetooth adapters or FM transmitters are super convenient. Safe travels and happy listening!
Hope this helps!
The base radio setup in the 2015 Lexus LS may not include a USB port, but there are alternative options for streaming music. You can utilize Bluetooth connectivity to pair your smartphone with the car’s audio system for wireless streaming. Additionally, if there’s an auxiliary input jack, you can connect your device using an auxiliary cable. Alternatively, FM transmitter devices allow you to stream music from your smartphone to your car stereo by tuning to an unused FM radio frequency. If none of these options suffice, aftermarket upgrades with USB connectivity or additional features may be considered.
I’m not sure about the Malibu specifically, but many manufacturers place one port visibly near the center stack and another in a hidden location, such as inside the glove box or a compartment in the center armrest.
