i have a 94 gs 300.it so happened that i got it used. i do not know if it came with a cd changer or not but the control in front has a cd button. when i press it it changes to cd but goes back to fm radio cos the cd does not work. when my technician opened the trunk we found a 12 disc changer in place with tha amp(both lexus of course). the technician said i needed the two plugs (harnesses) that fitted into the back of the cd changer. he said the other half that extended to from the back of the control in the front was still there and i needed just the other portion which went into the cd changer. i contacted the lexus dealership and they said they would only sell the entire wire harness for the car for 2800. i just need the two the plug into the cd changer. i got a set from ebay but they do not fit.
Pleeeeeeeeease i need help or advice on whtat to do. should i keep looking for these two plugs or can i get another cd changer (lexus or not )that already has wires and thenconnect it 2 the other half in the front control.
please i have had to listen to radio since i got the car.
the previous owner had a kenwood 6 cd changer hooked thru the fm radio but i took it out cos my buddy's lexus player sounds better.
pleeeeeeeeeeeeease what can i do to get a lexus cd changer in my car OR where can i get the two plugs that go into the back of the cd changer for the 94 gs 300 cd changer. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND A LOT OF JUNK YARDS 2 NO AVAIL. PLEASE I JUST NEED THE OTHER HALF OF THE WIRE HARNESS THAT GOES INTO THE CHANGER



SORRY FOR THE LONG STORY BUT I AM FRUSTRATED.
THANKS

wrong forum bro

yes i can help. since i make custom gs harness for cars that didnt come with cd button radios i have the connectors and cd changer shielded wiring . my guess is the kenwood installer cut the wires to get the power and ground for the kenwood changer. also make sure the kenwood fm modulator is removed from the system or it could interferee with function. you may need to buy my complete gs harness and plug it into the radio and run it to the trunk. cd changer cables dont take well to splicing . they need to be metal shielded or will pick up interference. so if the original cable is cut farther back the 6 inches you need a whole new cabLE. i sell the cable for 90.00 shipped. it is 16 feet long of shielded cable and the 12 pin radio connector at radio end and the 2 connector 6 and 10 oin at the other. so try to trace the cd changer cable as it crosses under the rear seat sill plate channel into the trunk and see where it was cut. and you might save the 90.00 for the new custom 1994 gs cd changer completre cable. my solution isnt free but at least someone has a solution..for first generation sc, gs , ls es only the first generation cars that wernt ordered with cd changers came without cd button radios and cd changer cables.the pioneer and nakamichi systems were distinguished by the amplfiers not the cd changer . both systems used the same fujitsu made 12 disc. so the amp is pioneer or nakamichi depending on the system .

hi,
i do not know how to remove the head unit in the 94 gs 300
i need help.
thanks

the airducts on top of ac are held in by poputs connctors. so you use a blunt instrument to gently pry out the airduct. the ashtray under the radio also pops out. after the parts are removed there are 4 8mm screws top remove and the whole radio ac comes out.
