Default 2006 Mark Levinson DVD changer head unit-Play DVDs!

Hey all, my cousin and I bought a navi system used on this board a while back for his IS250. It turns out that the head unit was a ML unit.

My cousin however has given up on the idea of putting the navi in the car. Its a lot more than we thought it would be. And the wire harness we got was for a 350, and he has a 250(they are different). Maybe one day he will trade in his car for a Navi car.

If someone wants to buy it. we will sell it for $950 obo+shipping and your old CD unit. (just in case my cousin does want to do the navi swap one day) I am going to keep the navi unit, just in case something happens to my screen one day.

If you are not local, a $150 deposit is required until we receive your CD changer unit. I will put up pics later. Locals(northern VA) are welcome to come check it out.

According to the GS forum, someone changed their head unit to ML and it worked perfectly for DVD watching. I will include wires that I think you will need to view DVD videos.

I'll take it for $800 if you can verify that it will work once I swap the changer without having to purchase a new amplifier or any extra parts.

unfortunately I cannot verify this. Since I have ML from the factory in my car.... and my cousin doesnt have navigation in his 250.

Whomever does this mod will be taking a calculated risk. Hang on. I will be uploading some pics and it may help you decide.

To save shipping.. all you got to swap is the lower portion of this 3 piece unit.

This unit is separated into 3 pieces:

1. Screen
2. DVD Map Disc Drive
3. In-Dash Changer (either ML or Non-ML)

The J52 wire on the ML unit must go along with the ML Changer. This is for the video.
