CT200H DAB upgrade


Recommended Posts

I've just bought a 2011 CT which has the Mark Levinson sound system fitted, but only after buying it realised they don't all have DAB fitted as standard.

I now have the chance to buy a salvaged DAB module from another 2011 car and so am asking how difficult are they to install? I'd also need to add a DAB antenna to the package. 

My local Lexus dealer told me it costs "thousands" to fit "because the entire dashboard has to come out". But here and on other forums I'm seeing stories that the total cost of the job, including the module, is around £550-£600.

If it helps I am a very competent DIY car mechanic and have fitted quite a few alarms and stereos to cars in the past but nothing as complex as a CT.

Thanks.

If it helps anyone else, both vehicle dismantlers I've spoken to so far haven't been much help regarding adding DAB but they both agreed that it clearly appears to be either fitted at the dockside at the point of importatation or has been fitted by supplying dealerships before sale. 

Or perhaps they've only so far seen examples which were aftersales upgrades?

Either way, it clearly cannot be a "complete dashboard out job" as claimed by my local Lexus dealer.
