  1. I have a 2002 LX470 and just bought a set of Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ Radials, 305/70-16. I am still using the stock rims. The tires look great and fit nicely in the wheel wells.
  2. No worries and good luck. If you happen to resolve the issue would you mind describing the process here for others?
  3. I have attached a section of the 2004 TLC wiring diagram that might provide some guidance. Rear_Heater_Control_for_2004_Toyota_Landcruiser_Electrical_Wiring_Diagram.pdf
  4. If you enter "antenna" into the search field near the bottom of the page, you will get a variety of posts that deal with the antenna issue, including unable to extend all the way and complete replacement.
  5. Below is the block diagram (or if it doesn't display, the link) of the electronics for the Pioneer Changer: http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/G...nual_img_11.jpg
  6. If you cut the wire (TX+, TX-) that senses the DVD player, you may get a "No External Device Connected" message. I think you need the signal from the head unit to enable the DVD player to continue playing the DVD. It may be more advantageous to prevent the video mute signal from activating. This signal is internal to the Pioneer XDV-M8106 that is in my 2002 LX470.
  7. Here is a link that shows the block diagram for the circuit in question: http://s580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/Go_Lakers/
  8. I was reviewing the electrical schematic for the OEM Pioneer (XDV-M8106) 6 CD/DVD Changer that is installed in my 2002 LX470. There is a signal (XVMUTE) that controls IC3301 (8 pin IC) that disables video out of the changer. I believe the control signal (from TX +/-) determines when to cut out the composite (COMPOUT) video signal from continuing to the display. In order for rear aftermarket video displays to continue to show video, either the comp signal must be accessed (@pin 26 of CN3961 connector) prior to this point or the XVMUTE signal must be disabled. I plan on trying this in the next several weeks. My son is in a basketball tournament in Vegas this weekend, so maybe next weekend. By the way, I just installed an overhead display (includes a DVD player and headphones) that displays the LX changer video only when parking brake is on (I have not bypassed XVMUTE yet). For rear seat viewing only, the DVD can be played on its own player and sound is transmitted thru FM signal to LX radio.
  9. If it is a Pioneer system, you can send it to them for flat rate repair of $175. Call 1-800-PIONEER (1-800-746-6337). That's what they quoted me for a changer from a 2002 LX, but not ML. Otherwise, start doing some troubleshooting. Did it suddenly fail one day? Had it been working on and off and now won't work? Did it get wet? Do you get the same message irrespective of # and location of inserted CDs? Have you tried different CDs? If you can get the manufacturer model #, you may be able to get the manual on the system that should have error codes. Go to 911manuals.com for a list and pricing. I have a Pioneer XDV-M8106ZT DVD/CD Changer that shows the changer error codes. Good Luck!
  10. I am also looking for an OEM CD/DVD Changer. I have a 2002 LX470 with stock (not ML) CD/DVD Changer. I may have damaged the unit trying to locate video out to connect to rear aftermarket video player. It does not recognize cd or dvd discs in positions 1-3 (grayed out), only 4-6. There is no activity when pressing any of 4-6 buttons on-screen. The OEM unit is a Pioneer XDV-M8106. Pioneer (800-pioneer) wants $175 for repair. Note: All other electronics ( including Nav system) are still working properly. Thanks for your help. Will see if I have one for you. I was able to get my DVD changer working again. It appeared to be a mechanical issue where disc #1 was not being read since the disc holder was not being mechanically accessed properly. I purchased the LX470 at the end of August, changer was working, then stopped working within a few days. The changer hadn't been used prior to that for quite some time (>6 months). I think it had lost lubrication causing the movement of the disc holder to behave erratically. I was able to move the holder while holding the dvd door sensor closed. Anyway, thanks for the offer of the OEM unit. Hopefully, the one I have will continue to operate.
  11. I have a 2002 LX470, where I disconnected the CD/DVD Changer. I get the same message. The Changer has a cable coming out of it extending ~ 20" and mates to a cable that goes up behind the dash. The connector (18 pin) is located underneath the center console section. This is where I disconnected the cable from the CD/DVD Changer. It is possible you have a bad connection due to the water ingress. I would suggest accessing the connector and cleaning the contacts. The connector for the rear radio controls are also located in the same general area. You will have to remove the trim piece that houses the rr control and cup holder.
  12. I have a 2002 LX470. I disconnected the CD/DVD Changer (to identify video out signal for rear video display) and get the "External System Not Connected" message. Although this message is for the Changer, I would expect a similar or same message for other intermittent or loose connections. It is possible that there is a bad connection within one or more connectors. I would suggest inspecting the connectors between the NAV system and the cable going to the dash unit. I expect the connector would be under the seat where the NAV system is located.

  14. The brakes and lights are connected to the 7 pin socket (T12) through several relays (towing converter relay T15, towing hitch relay T23) and the towing brake controller T18. I don't know how to add an image of the actual schematic. These numbers are from a 2004 Land Cruiser Electrical Wiring Diagram, but match my 2002 LX470.
