My '92 ES 300 cd changer is dead. Is there a cd changer that can be installed, using the factory HU and wiring harness?

 

Correct me , anyone, if I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

I think the only CD changer that will work (without changing a head unit) is a lexus CD changer made for your car....

Usually stock systems are picky about what kind of CD changer you use.

 

Keep checking eBay and salvage shop websites. I know I've seen the OEM changer for the 92-96 ES on eBay quite a few times. You should be able to pick one up for less than the price of an aftermarket unit, and the wiring should be a no-brainer.
I've even seen the factory changers for sale here by fellow CL members who were upgrading their systems with aftermarket head units and amps.

 

Thank you for the answer. If anyone out there has a cd changer for sale, let me know. Thanks again, prhnkp

 

I may have what you're looking for. How much do you think is reasonable for one?

 

wow it's been a long time since i've posted... anyways. go look on ebay. i was tryin to find somethin to change the tape player that's sorta broken on my dad's ES (most likely to be mine by the end of the year), and i saw a complete kit to install a new harness and rack for an aftermarket cd-player (one of those smaller, slim ones), and the other half is replaced with a semi-useful tray for putting stuff like your cell, other keys, wallet, etc. pretty nice, i'm thinking of gettin it myself.

the price isn't that bad. i like it better than gettin a whole new player from Lexus themselves. i plan on puttin in a Sony. eh. good luck.

 

You might have to get a RF modulated changer if you cant find one from the factory.. Otherwise there is no other option to run a changer off your factory deck..
