Default Base Model amplifier in my Mark Levinson LS460

Hello, my 2007's LS460L's trunk recently flooded and I've been replacing all damaged parts.

My amp went out due to the water damage, and my mechanic pulled it out. To my surprise it wasn't a Mark Levinson amp, it was a Toyota Pioneer 86280-50280.

The previous owner of my car mentioned that they have replaced the amp.


Is this amp that is currently installed from the base model LS460?
I need to order a new one and they are way cheaper than the Mark Levinson amps. Would it be safe to order it again given that the car's audio was working fine for months prior to the water damage?

Cheers

If the replacement amp was working fine for you, I see no reason to pay a lot extra for the ML amp.

True, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I also just got word that another part is also damaged, "Toyota Selector 86112-30100". Not a single clue what this part even does.
The grocery list of parts continues :-)

The ML amp is made by Pioneer and it's supplied to Toyota/Lexus. Not sure what you have but if its the ML system, I don't think the base system amp would work.

Here are the pictures of the two systems:


The original ML amp

The amp currently installed in my car

They look completely different

According to the Lexus catalog, it is "GPS Navigation Control Module".
