Thanks for the video, very helpful really. I took everything out with no
problems and I have a Pioneer head unit I want to put in instead and I
couldn’t mount it onto the A/C mount like the original CD / tape deck, do
you have any tips please? thee’s only mounting holes on the side of the
head unit.

Can i ask… how is the screen visibility from the driving position being
at the bottom in the IS?

Mats Wick Pedersen says:

Yeah, thanks for this video man!!

Paradigm says:

The first thing I did when I got my Lexi was to replace the OEM. The CD
Changers are very unreliable. Easy to do and brings the car up to modern
standard.

Ged Gray says:

This is not a IS300, as The IS 300 has it;s SATNAV at the Top.

Paradigm says:

You can have a sat nav in either the 200 or 300. In any case, the
proceedure is much the same. As I said in the video, this is a lexus IS200

Carlos Garcia says:

Very helpful

petayV8 says:

Im trying to buy a IS with built in sat nav atm found a few but not many
about, but recently im wondering if its worth it when its so easy to fit
your own into the 2 din slot… plus im guessing the OEM one is not that
great and quite dated compared to today’s…

Johny40Se7en says:

Thanks.

WotanClub says:

thanks man i did find a facia kit on lexus so i hope it will fit somehow

Paradigm says:

Hi, You’ll be needing an mounting adapter, single/double din available from
ebay. I bought mine quite cheap on ebay. This then bolts in place of the
orginal to the A/C part, then you’ll be able to put it all together. Mine
was a plastic bracket in black and included 3 front bevel sizes to suit
different head units. Good Luck

MegaShamiso says:

thanks, was strugling

Lennert Wanders says:

my hero, cheers mate for the diy.

WotanClub says:

and one more question how did u do that plastic housing that it fits

Paradigm says:

It can be seen from every position ok, though from the back seat the gear
stick is a bit in the way. Also when your opening the player to insert a
disc the face slides out and nearly touches gear stick. Viewing angle not
the safest while driving as your taking ur eyes off the road too much.

very helpfull video…THANX!!!

WotanClub says:

i got a question i got the same car where did u get that radio ? i got that
old 6 cd player and its a pain in my ass

mustanghappy123 says:

this helped a lot. thanks!

Will Palmer says:

can’t believe how simple it is. I must try this 10 years ago

Paradigm says:

lol indeed it is was a pain. I picked that alpine unit out from a local
shop in Belfast, but its not there any more. Not only was it looks and had
the mp3/dvd but it also could match the orange dash which looked awesome.
The closest plastic housing I could find on the market to fit left it too
tight to eject disc so I had to get a bit creative with sandpaper and
heat-gun until it fitted just right. Once it was all put together it looked
perfect.
