You would need to ATLEAST double your budget to get what you want. A quality flip top headunit would cost you in the mid 1k range. Save and get the good stuff. Also I do not believe if you go aftermarket, the stock changer would work anymore. When I have my IVA-C800 installed, the changer I had to switch to alpine too. Save up and don't go cheap on your lex.

I agree.
I just drop ~2K on a alpine IVA-D900, worth every $. Pic quality is better then I thought.
I save $ on the install. did it myself.
Will post pics soon.

Sweet..... See, isn't it nice to treat your Lex to something good! Never settle for less. If you want something badly enough, just save up for it a little longer and it will be worth every penny!

Thanx....GOOD QUESTION!

First of all as expected the stock LEX cd changer does NOT work with the system BUT the stereo place

wanted $220 for a KENWOOD model 669 6disc cd changer installed. They said that it will sit at the OLD

changer's place. I declined and saw the same model ONLINE for $120.....It is NOT a real problem yet but

it seems like it is annoying when i have to keep changing b/w MATRIX RELOADED dvd and PAUL VAN

DYKE cd

I may purchase it later.
