Is there any difference between the factory Pioneer system disc changer and the Nakamichi system disc changer? Are they interchangeable? Thanks.

 

no. the 98 to 2000 gs cd changers are not interchangable. the nak system 86270-30160 changer plugs into a nakamichi equalizer box then into the cd changer. the gs models pioneer system changer 86270-30150 has 10 pin plug and the nak system a 12 pin plug so you cant even plug in the changers in the other system wiring harness . on all other lexus models you can plug in the3 nak changer without the equalizer box it wont put out any sound on a pioneer system since the sound is sent through the blue square digital port on the back of the changer not the 12 pin port. most sellersof the nak changers have no idea they are missing the nak equalizer box when they sell it to uninformed pioneer system owners.
