Default New Head Unit Advice Fix Repair

Hey everyone.

I posted something before about the IS spitting out CD's. I was told that it may be dying and had to be replaced.

Now, it won't accept anything and randomly goes from aux to radio to whatever.

I need a new head unit and was wondering if I should go after market and if anyone has any advice?

It seems its a DOUBLE DIN unit but I don't want the head unit looking super ugly.

Does anyone have any websites or pics of nice looking head units? I can't seem to find any on google.

Or does anyone know how much it cost Lexus to repair it? I feel like it would be a lot!

Thanks!

Get it repaired at United Radio in Syracuse, NY. Aftermarket head units are a pain to install because all the electronics are integrated into one system.

It would be helpful if you give us some more info, example year, model, nav, ML, etc.

Hello!

CALIFORNIA

2009 Lexus IS250 w/ Nav NO ML system.

I'm thinking of getting a GTA CAR KIT that I would have installed that connects to the back and allows me to use an Iphone or Ipod for music.

Not sure this would work as the volume randomly changes and doesn't work and I can't press any other modes, radio, etc....
