I posted this in audio, to no avail... maybe some of you have some input?

I just purchased a 1st Gen RX. There is no CD changer in the glove box.

In my previous post, I stated that I gifted my 2000 GS 400 to my nephew... Prior to that, I installed an in-dash, so the CD changer was not being used.

I was wondering if it would be possible to take the CD Changer out of my old 2000 GS and install it into my new RX, since they're both 2000?

In a quick eBay search, I found that the GS CD Changer Part Number is: 86270-30150 and then underneath those numbers are: CDX-M8076zt.
For the RX, it is: 86270-48020 and then underneath those numbers are: CDX-M9086zt.
This makes me believe, this might not be possible.

I also did some research on Google to no avail, as well.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am going to muddy the waters here instead of giving any clarity ...

Devices in Lexus have a serial control input [the protocol is Lexus proprietary on top]. Generic components with audio in-out just have a connecter issues, but in this case I would insist on matching the part numbers exactly.

Look at the plugs on the back of the gs cd changer.
Many Toyota are similar despite having different numbers.
However, 2000 was around the time that many manufacturers
went to proprietary serial communication busses so you
can expect the worst!
