I have a 93 Ls 400.Tha casette for the radio doesn't work.Is it hard to remove the radio from the dash?Would I be able to replace the radio with a OEM CD player? Thanks

It's probably only a 5 minute job after you have done it once or twice.

If you mean that your current radio does not have a CD button, you could substitute a LS400 radio with a CD button and install a CD player -- if you can find all the parts. The local Lexus dealer here did swaps like that back in the early 90's when a customer wanted a CD player on a car that didn't have one installed at the factory.

Or you could install an aftermarket radio/CD/MP3 player - even one with nav and sat radio. I've seen a number of threads over the years where someone has done something like that.

there are brackets and harnesses available for the aftermarket stereo installations for the earlier LS models

Thanks very much. Photos and info is excellent.
