Default Missing CD Magazine... replace?

The CD Magazine is missing from my newly purchased 92 SC300. If the system had been having the typical problems, will it be cured by a new magazine?

If the problems occur separate from the magazine, what is the cure? I am not an audio hound, and the stock sound is fine with me. What I am trying to ask is, which is a better value, fixing the stock system or replacing it with aftermarket?

If aftermarket, can I just change the CD changer and have it integrate into the Lexus audio unit?

Thank you.

If your CD changer is stock Lexus, you can probably find a Lexus CD magazine on ebay. I bought an extra for my SC 400 for about $30. Good luck.

The stock changer is the only one that works.

The cartridge is cheap...go to the dealer and pick one up.

" If the system had been having the typical problems"

You need to be a bit more clear than "typical problems"

pcmw:

Thanks for the reply.
I was referring to the threads here and on alt.autos.lexus that suggest that the changer often needs to be replaced or expensively repaired at a radio shop.

Without a magazine, I haven't even been able to try mine. If there was a good replacement that would integrate into the Lexus controls, I wanted to know. But from what you say, they don't integrate; that's what I was afraid of.

I'll order a magazine and go from there. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Don,

No problem. I have been down that path already and found that the 'kit' to repair the cd changer is about $250+
