my '93 stock pioneer is dead and I bought a '93 nakamichi head unit off ebay. Tried to install it yesterday but I found the back of both unit are different. So will I be able to replace the pioneer with nakamichi or I need extra harness to do it. Thank you in advance for any response you guys may have.

what u mean by dead? radio doesnt turn on? and try searching here and the Audio subforum we have here at Clublexus.

I'm no expert on this subject! But what I understand,a nackamichi out of a 1990,91 have the same plugs on the back as your 93 pioneer. It should be a simple plug and play. I think you are out of luck with your 93 Nakamichi you bought on ebay. Do a search on lexusownersclub.com on this subject.They have a thread about this! Good luck

Plug-and-Play and sounds better than the original, to boot.

Everything on it worked perfectly, including lighting and the cassette deck.

I got it for $200 from this guy:

but the plugs for 93 pioneer is not the same as 93 nakamichi. How did you do it?

90-92 nakamichi has the same plugs as 90-94 pioneer. 93-94 nakamichi's have different plugs.

the radio you got wont work.

you need a 90-92 nakamichi. I switched and love the deeper bass, stronger mids and clearer treb

omarg

haha grand

PD, I know 2LS are so much better, you dont have to remind us everyday.

Back to the Nak, you can get one on ebay for about 50-75 shipped. check carpart.com too. i got mine for 60 shipped.

i dont try to dog the 1LS, im stating that the 2LS radio is better than the 1LS (its kinda obvious) in teh same way that the 3LS(430) esp. with ML is better than the 2LS.
