92 SC4 Stereo: what would you do
I can either get an aftermarket head unit that plays mp3s for around 100 bucks, or search around for a used 12 disc CD changer b/c mine isn't working. Anybody know how much the changers are goin for these days? or another model that will work w/ the SC4
If I go the head unit route then I'd have to find a trim piece that looks good, and fills in all the open space. I've done wiring before so I'm sure I can figure that out. Part #, brand anyone?
what ya think?

search around here and on the lexus owners club or whatever, I remember someone wired it up so they could connect their MP3 player to the stock unit, it kind of replaced the CD changer. The only issue I believe was that while the CD player didn't have to be able able to read CDs, it had to still be able to function and send some signal or something(not sure on this), I forget.

ok so go to circuit city or someplace like that, they can install some wiring thing to where there is a cable that goes into the back of your radio and the run it into your center console/armrest and it comes out of there and you can plug your mp3 player into it. they put a toggle switch in which switches from the radio to mp3 and back and forth, you have to have the radio set to a certain channel and turn the toggle switch to "on" and it plays you mp3s. its a great deal, i think only like $80 and it looks very professional

I was wondering more about a stereo head unit vs getting a factory replacement CD changer.
