Question CD-Magazine for the CD Changer

Hi,

anyone know if there is a substitute cd magazine that we can use aside from the one originally supplied with the Lexus CD-Changer?

just wanted to see if I can buy some extra cd-magazines without having to go to the dealership and buying an original one (might be more expensive)

Thanks!

D4,

Which Lexus model are you referring to? The GX has an in dash 6CD unit. There is no magazine.

Default With NAV it does

In the GX with NAV, the CD goes into the glove compartment with a cartridge. I used my "loyalty" to get my dealer to give me a couple extra when I bought the truck.

Crazy4car,

Where did you order your spare CD changer magazine? Is it model number JD-612V? The Pioneer web site is asking $25 fir it plus shipping.

Thanks!

I bought them here in Panama at the Pioneer dealer, I paid like 20 or 22.

$25.00 seems about right. Much better than pay Lexus/Toyota $47.00

Thumbs up Great Price

that's a very good price.

now, just need confirmation that the Pioneer unit is exactly a fit for the CD-Changer in the GX.

Thumbs up definitely a very good buy

Lexus dealership parts tech made a mistake and quoted the LX cd changer magazine instead of the GX-470 cd changer magazine.

The LX one costs $47.00 but the GX one costs around over $90.00

must be made of GOLD.
