As far as expense ... the saying is you have to pay the piper.

IMHO: This is not a must and I would not spend a single penny on an old out of date system. My mobile phone [which is few years old] is far superior.

Flip the discs over. I put them in the wrong way at first. Might be your issue

Had a similar issue on an RX 330 and had to remove the head unit and physically remove the top disc in the stack.

What compatible head unit will work in the 2001 RX300? Can I get a newer unit from the salvage yard that would work?

I'd guess Nav unit ot Nav unit would fit.

An option is to go on ebay and get the din adapters and fillers and go with an aftermarket upgrade. Most of the time no splicing is needed.

I meant what other Lexus or Toyota units would be a drop in replacement. No aftermarket!

Ok, go to car-part.com, do the search ("Cd player", I think).

Once you find the unit you want, call the yard, and see if there's a part number you can cross-check vs your unit.
