Lazy Flamingo Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 The CD changer in my LX470 has eaten a CD for the 3rd time. Lexus wants over $1000 to replace it (no surprise). Anybody have recommendations re: my options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have recommendations re: my options? ← Is your changer the 6 disc indash ? If your headunit has a 12 pin connector on the back [ built in 97 ] you can put a 6 disc pioneer in the armrest compartment , Let me know and We'll take it from there.

B) ← Yes - the original Lexus indash 6 CD changer. Ideally, I'd like to find a cosmetically compatible indash changer rather than take up one of the only usable storage spaces in the vehicle. If that's not practical (and I don't want to pay Lexus $1000 for a stupid CD changer) then tell me about the Pioneer. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! ← Well it sounds like your cd player is a FUJITSU and LEXUS has a exchange program that charges $300.00 if it is a panasonic the exchange is $325.00 and a pioneer exchange is $495.00. Anyways I can set you up with a 6 disc pioneer changer that mounts in the armrest compartment but you have to have the 12 pin connector behind your radio to install the changer.

SpeedyCycles Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Can you take that to a regular electronics repair store for examination? I saw one on eBay recently, I think the bid was only $25 when I saw it. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theinfamious Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I would purchase a brand new cd changer from Circuit City and have them install it. Fees: * Cd Changer-Depends on which one you purchase. * Installation: $70 * 2 yr. extended warranty (never have to deal with manufacture, free replacement, installation from old vehicle to new vehicle..) $25-$30 * 4 yr. extended warranty (never have to deal with manufacture, free replacement, installation from old vehicle to new vehicle..) $35-$40 * Antennas-Depends if your vehicle needs add-ons. (~$13 each) Personally, I enjoy the extended warranty, quality of service and most of all the PRICE that circuit city has to offer. $1k is a lot of cash especially for a cd changer. Save the money or invest it in your 30, 60 or 90k mile services.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSERGEI Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 2 theinfamious CD changer from Circuit City will connect through AM radio not directly connect to Lexus audio system. Sound will far from perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
