Levinson deck and amp specs?

Does anyone know the brand or actual model of the head unit in a Levinson equipped 01 Lexus?

Does anyone know what model amp is used in an 01 Levinson Lexus?

I can't find any detailed info on my system besides the amount of speakers..no real specs...

The head unit is Denso/Toyota. Looks awfully similar to a Pioneer unit but without the pioneer guts. Amplifier is from Mark Levinson and so are the speakers. Though I highly suspect the speakers are from other sources...too bad they're not from Dynaudio!

According to the 2001 Lexus New Car Features book (don't ask why I bought it, I think I went crazy with Steve at Carson) page 83, the ML unit uses Pioneer Products head unit and CD Automatic Changer with only power amp and speakers being ML sourced. It is interesting that they compare it to last year's Nak system where the head unit and equalizer assembly were provide by Nak as well as the amp and speakers. This is for the GS.

Thanks guys.

I contacted Lexus International and they can offer no specs.

I also contacted Madrigal Audio, to find the volts of the Head Unit, and they referred me to Lexus.

Sigh...
