So, first off, I live in Okinawa Japan, and recently bought a 1995 Toyota Celsior (JDM Lexus LS400) and the owner was very open about the problems it had.



One of them is the Radio/Nav/Climate system, which is called "Toyota Multi-Display" has a cracked screen and all the little LCD screens are messed up (As Pictured)




So what i'm trying to do is replace it with this Radio/Climate control, which came with the car when he sold it to me (He had never tried to install it) Now, i have no idea of what YEAR of Celsior this is from, or even if it will work at all




So, I took off the trim pieces, unplugged all wires (After battery disconnected of course) and went to install the new one. Well, every plug has a place in the new one except one, and even then, there's 3 of the old plugs that have no location in the new unit.
after plugging what I could in, and starting the car, nothing but the clock on top worked.

So, my question I guess is: Is it even possible to install this new unit? Is there something I'm missing? Is there an adaptor i need to find?

I saw this here: http://celsiorup.com/custom20/2087multiles_aircon.htm

And it says, if Google translate is working correctly, that I can not use the radio, just the A/C unit. If so, is there a replacement for the radio that WILL work?

Please let me know if you find anything. I am looking to either replace the LCD with an oem one (but can't seem to find one that's reasonably priced) since my screen has some damage, or replace the entire unit as an upgrade. Can't seem to find any solid info online. Thanks

Your issue has discussed here and there. Unfortunately there is no simple way to install the unit in your photo except the climate control unit. In case of a non-navi model, there is a simple way to use a set of harness to change the radio unit. But there is no harness available to convert a navi unit to an afternarket radio as the Celsiorup com says.

Welp, sounds to me like I need to find a car audio place here in Okinawa, because this is all far beyond my basic ability for wiring

as stated in the audio mother thread, if you want to go aftermarket there is a plug and play from beatsonic for the factory equipped navigation models however looking at their website today they don't carry that kit any longer

this is the only kit they offer for the LS400:

this is the kit i have for sale but it won't work for you since it's only for non-nav!

Mensoree and ようこそ to the group. I can't add anything, sorry. Just wanted to say howdy as a former long-term resident of Japan. I hope you're enjoying Okinawa thus far and that you get to try habushu and beniimo ice cream! And that you get this sorted out w/ your vehicle, it's nice looking and I'm sure is low mileage and hopefully very inexpensive as used cars in Japan tend to be compared to the U.S.


oishii!

Are you sure this is the right part as it's listed for 98-00 models and not the 95? I'm curious to know what the difference between the 21A and the 22AD is physically and if there is an easy way to convert a 21A for use with the nav models. Seems like 22AD is significantly more expensive and harder to find..

To update this post, I found a BeatSonic AOK-3 [Link] for sale (Thank god for Japanese Yahoo Auctions!), bought and installed it. Was pretty easy, plug and play with the Kenwood aftermarket unit i have. Here's some pictures, I don't have it fully installed yet, it's really just resting on the top of the head unit, as some brackets it came with are gonna need cut and some plastic is gonna have to be shaved down as well, but I think it looks pretty good for a few hours of work.

First, beautiful car.

The separate radio and climate control may require a different wiring harness versus LCD display module...

You may be able to replace the cracked LCD touch screen module...

If you can obtain a part number and brand (Panasonic or Toshiba?) from the raw LCD, am willing to do some research.

i think the best way for you it is do repair your own headunit multivision
it means:
- no need order and buy other headunit
- no need cut and change cars own electric wires
- save your own stock interiour appearance
