Hi everyone,
I have owned 2 ES300s (1996 and 2003). I am looking at a 95 for my 16 year old daughter. The car is nice but has no CD player. The head unit is set up to run the changer. I talked with Lexus and they stated that that changer (Pioneer) is no longer available. Even when it was, we are talking $800 to $1000 for the 6 disc changer alone. My question, is the Pioneer changer built for Lexus standard? Does anyone know a Pioneer part number (or model number) that is compatible with the OEM changer? I really don’t want to use RF modulation. I want the changer hardwired to the head unit. Also, is the car pre wired with plug hidden somewhere in the trunk?
I really appreciate any information you can provide.

i would try Ebay... for the cd changer.. but if you're talking about anything over 300bucks.. you should just get an aftermarket HU with a single CD ..... as far as the trunk preset... is there a wire there???.. that's the only way to know(wihtout taking anything apart).. but i thought the CD changer would be located on the glove box..

Thanks for the repley. Actually, the CD changer on the 95 is mounted in the trunk...like my 96 was. I just cant remember the particulars as it has been 3 years since I owned the 96. I noticed that the changer (and all audio components) were made by Pioneer. I thought there may be a way to install a pioneer 6 cd changer in place of the OEM unit.
Thanks again
