Plat

:P To further save time, one may prefer going to http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com as I had to navigate around longer than I preferred at the pioneerelectronics.com site to find audio parts. I understand partstore.com may save you $20.00. Gratitude to all...I have lived with a half dark radio display screen too long. I was glad Lexus Owners Club members supplied the assistance and in particular gave the part number (pn). When I ordered on the Pioneer website I was unable to look up the pn by make or model of my car. Now I can't wait to see the radio station numbers again!! I didn't want to invest in replacing entire radio as Lexus suggested. I had a friend who had the same problem and pulled a radio from another Lexus but after installation realized the CD player was non-functional on the replacement so he un-installed, again. I ordered a radio for a 1997 ES 300 on line and had to ship back because the radio was wrong one. I heard Toyota would replace the display for less than Lexus would the entire radio and was contemplating that avenue. Wow...all this will be behind me. I have owned my ES for a decade and am finding that little things are needing to be replaced...drivers visor $250., rear middle seat belt $100., part that illuminates the rear license plate (yet to order). Currently I am seeking a passenger side front door wood panel...where the door locks and window switch is located. Lexus said I must replace the entire wood panel ($300.) to get a tiny, screwed on, plastic, attachment piece that broke and causes my switches to fall into the armrest. I have been unsuccessful at finding the part less expensively. I have enjoyed this site and am hopeful for further successes. Thanks to all who took time to assist others! Comforting to see another Portlander and another woman accomplishing what I am going to undertake. This topic took a while to find but was worth the hunt. Now to remember to cover shifter and wood panel with cloth, be careful not to let screws and clips disappear...whew, I also want a Parrot (bluetooth over car audio system), satellite radio and push button, fob, car start installed. Any advise on an experienced yet reasonable priced shop to do all the above. Maybe Car Toys?
