I just bought a changer out of a junk yard for my a995 LS400 with the "premium" non-nak sound system. The changer is a Pioneer 86270-50090, I ripped my dash apart, only to find that the female port on the changer didn't accept the male wire behind the glove box. I thought that all 95,96,97... changers fit all stereo heads. Even more annoying, the male and female ends both have/accept 9 pins on top, 2 on the left, and 3 on the right, it looks to me like the plastic connections just don't line up. The changer has an october 1994 mfd. date. Is this changer from a pre '95 car? am I stupid? or do I need a converter of some type?

thanks in advance for any help, lexus audio can be frustrating.....

 

that was the right changer. you need to remove the dummy plug that the ls400 connector cable behind the dash is plugged into.
