Marc Levison System

[JAVIN53]

The pls for the Levison system calls out both a Pioneer or Panasonic radio tuner.

They look physically the same. Does anyone kniw if they can be interchanged without any changes. Not sure why they have two different manufactures for that radio system. Any help

It looks like the 2021 Lexus IS350 F-Sport offers both Pioneer and Panasonic radio tuners, depending on the specific configuration. While they may appear physically similar, Lexus specifies different part numbers for each, which suggests that they might not be directly interchangeable without adjustments.

The Pioneer system is available in both 10-speaker and 17-speaker configurations, while the Panasonic system also comes in 10-speaker and 17-speaker versions. If you're considering swapping them, it would be best to check the ID number on the faceplate to ensure compatibility.

If you're looking for more details, you might want to consult a Lexus dealership or an experienced installer to confirm whether any wiring or software differences exist between the two.
