My IS250 is Non-nav version but with Mark Levinson System. Because there's no screen, it has a CD changer only. I ever put DVD Video in but it can't read

According to http://www.marklevinsonlexus.com/overview.asp?model=is, ML equipped in 2IS should be able to accept Dolby, DTS, DVD Video and DVD Audio.

Can I assume this?
Because mine has a CD changer, so it can only play CD. If I replace it with a DVD changer, it can play DVD Audio because the ML Amp (ML3-10) is the same? ML should has nothing to do with the CD or DVD changer.

To find out the answer to my assumption, does anyone know the location of ML Amp? I want to find it out to see if it is ML3-10.

The amp is hidden in the trunk.

Right rear section in the trunk. Under the plastic tray.

Thanks! I found it. The part number is 86280-0W360.

Is it the same one in Nav with ML

Let us know if you find out that it is possible to swap the cd player for a dvd player. If it is that would be the 1st thing on my list of mods.

That is what I am doing. You can compare the following pictures. Looks like all have the 3 white sockets.
And it looks like only those with Screen have the blue socket.
It will be good if we have the wiring diagram

I just took some pictures of my ML. So I think we have enough samples for analysis

yea, that would be great if you can mod cd players to dvd so we can watch movies on the nav, for the unfortunate ones shut out of ML for 06 models
