Es300 Radio Compatibility Question

[MEH]

I have a 97 ES with radio issues, the model number is 86120-33060; has anyone ever interchanged with 86120-33320? They look exactly the same (including the plugs) and and seem to list for the same years.

I also have the CD plaver in the glove box.

Thanks...

Try to call dealer and ask the difference

Thanks,

My 97 has 86120-33060.

I am replacing LCD next week. What is wrong with yours?

I tried several dealers and they had no idea.

I replaced my display about a year ago and worked fine, now it looks like hieroglyphics. Thought for the same money I would try a different unit.

Thanks.

I will try to get info on this.

Have you tried calling a junkyard (oops, sorry. . . salvage yard).

They should have a cross-reference of what will fit what.

"We ONLY guarantee the part will fit the vehicle listed in the description. If your vehicle was not originally equipped with the EXACT part listed, it is your responsibility to consult a dealer to see if it will fit your application."

That is what originally brought the question to mind...

You asked which radios were interchangeable? I was in the same situation a few months back. My friend owns a 97 ES300 and I have a 98. My friends radio went out and I picked up a used radio from a salvage yard out of a 99. We checked compatibility and the 99 was the improved radio and fit both my 98 and his 97 with no problems. I would suggest that you upgrade instead of downgrading.(Use a 99 radio in a 98, a 98 in a 97. not 97 in 97 or 98 in a 99)

as far as the model #, I can't tell you. All I know is that the radios fit and work. I replaced my LCD which was much cheaper and easier to replace that replacing the radio.

Good luck in locating cross-reference #'s
