Replacing the factory Radio/CD in a LX 470 (1998)

[webby91]

New Member and not entirely sure how forums work, but.. I have a 1998 LX 470 (original owner with 272,000 miles!) I'm passing it on to my son. The Nakamichi has eaten all my CD's long ago and has got to go. Does anybody have experience with new decks and modifying the face plate? Is there a system with a nav component the will fit in the space, maybe from a newer LX 470?...Any thoughts will be appreciated! Thanks

Did you ever receive an answer---I have the same problem with a 2000 LX 470 CD/Radio

When you say the CD player eats your cd's what do you mean? Are you putting CD's in and it wont eject them? If you're putting home made cd's in that have paper labels that's a big no-no and will cause your player to jam up. You really can't put an aftermarket system in your LX unless you want to replace the headunit, cd changer and amplifiers. Nothing aftermarket is compatible with them. You could probably contact a custom stereo shop and see if they could make something work but that will probably cost as much as getting a replacement from Lexus.
