This morning I loaded up the CD magazine for the first time and tried to insert it into the changer -- and it didn't fit! I spoke with the dealer and we believe that I was given the wrong magazine yesterday. I'll swap them for the correct magazine sometime this weekend, but I started to shop around for a replacement/backup in the meantime.

Does anyone know of any deals -- perhaps through CL approved vendors -- on these that are better than the dealer price of $65?

 

I had to buy one for my GS...The one that came with the car only had 5 slots...I picked mines up from the local dealer for about $35...If not, try to shop on Ebay might be cheaper!!!...Lates!

 

BuyERTS,

I think that is too much. I got my magazine for around $24 at the InSkip Lexus in Rhode Island. Tell them to get you a better deal.

 

ebay has them super cheap!

 

why do you havet o pay for it?! shouldn't it come with your car?

 

I was going to have the dealer give me the correct one this weekend (for no charge). In the meantime, my car is less than 24 hours old and I have no CD (!!!!), so I was looking to buy a "spare" magazine that I could use for the next couple of days until I go back to the dealer. Sorry for the confusion.

 

ah gotcha. yeah it makes sense to have two magazines. i have a spare one in my car and just occasionally pops in and out

 

If the magazine has not changed from 2001, I ordered an extra one for my 01 430 from Lexus of Seattle over a year ago. They seem to have some decent prices on some parts. I paid $25.99 +$5.00 s&h PH 1800-446-8413. I later found it at a local stereo shop (Quality Audio) for $28 I think it is a Pioneer changer don't remember the model #.

 

i would just go to some car audio store and pick one up. should be just a regular pioneer magazine.
