cd changer replacement

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.

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.

*getting url*

here

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..
