amplifier removal and part number
Ive been looking around for instruction on how to remove the radio amplifier but couldnt find anything.
How do i remove it ? Do i need to remove the rear seat ?
can anyone give me the part number since there is many model available for our rx
rx350 2010 with navigation. 9 speaker and no MarkLev.
is it an easy diy ?
do i have to program anything when i replace it or its just a plug and play

I can understand the anxiety, but the bump does nothing.
For folks who have not read your post, it shows up as another unread post and the for the folks who have read it, if they had something to contribute, they would have.
The only time the bump can do anything is when there have been quite a few posts and the any one new to the forum choses to start reading from current to old .. [based on the activity here most likely a month]
If you are desperate and are ready to take ANY input then feel free to update.
If you allow me to provide ANY input:
Try searching for sites which offer audio mail in repair. They will have procedures posted how to remove and send them the unit for repair.
For pricing you can call your local Lexus dealer and also check the online catalog offered by dealers like Lexus of South Atlanta. Just be prepared to pay $$$$ When you are paying that much for the parts, I would suggest pay the 120 or so for the labor and have some one to stand behind the repair.
As far as I know, there is no security code built in the audio components

Lexus dealer is asking 465$ for refurbished part and 145$ labor.
im in canada and i couldnt find an amp repair shop online..
the reason im asking for the part number is because the lexus catalogue is showing me 6 or 7 model.

I think the amp is under the rear cargo area floor. It is easy to lift up the floor cover and check. Also https://www.lexussouthatlantaparts.com/ has a parts catalog with drawings so you can find what it looks like and maybe where it is located.
I think others tried to repair it and had no luck as no wiring diagrams are available. There were prior threads on this issue.
Good Luck.

Looking at both my vehicle and this link https://www.lexussouthatlantaparts.c...category=21749 (which is for a Canada car, I do not know if yours is Canada or Japan built, but they are similar) It appears you can get to some bolts from the spare tire area, but also need to remove the passenger side rear seat bottom to get to the rest of the bolts. Considering all this, if the dealer only wants $145 labor, I would go ahead and let them do it.

Just price out the Amp. You may find out that the what the dealer is asking for may not be too far off from what you can get one for.

talked to lexus corporate and they wont cover it. The lady told me that the dealer may give some reduction if my car was serviced regulary but it was my first visit lol ive owned the car for only 3 weeks. a new one cost 850$ online. 465$ refurbished from my dealer.
Did the radio die soon after you bought the vehicle and it was sold to you as "AS IS"?
What does the sales person has to say?

Not answered ... "As Is" or implied or better still written warranty/gaurantee.
Is the vehicle under manufacturers warranty? Only then Lexus of USA would be under any obligation.
Did you look up the service records? If the amp was replaced/serviced before?

-Car was sold as is from a Toyota dealer. They didnt know that it was still covered
In Quebec, for any purchase "The law provides a warranty on the goods you are purchasing or leasing: they must serve for normal use for a reasonable length of time."
Usually its 30 day for car.I couldnt get the service record. They said Its confidential bla bla bla and the previous owner must approve.
