Replacing The Mark Levinson Head Unit In An Rx400H


Recommended Posts

Is it hard to do? my cassete deck and CD changer failed, leaving me with radio only.

I found a second hand replacement, but wonder if it's easy to do or am I going to need to do some coding and pairing of it and the touch screen etc?

I have had my unit out a few times and I would guess that it's simply a case of swapping them over and connecting the plugs. Easy to do. Just pop off the two "fake" wooden trims around the gear stick and there are only four bolts to undo. Just be careful that you use a magnetic ratchet, otherwise you may say goodbye to the bolts when they drop into the geabox housing.... of course I may be wrong about just simply swapping them over and switching them on !!!!

Play safe and try and get a second hand head unit from the same model and year if you can, although they cosmetically look the same, the units in the 300, 350 and 400 may have different connectors based on what type of system the car has.

You can always get these on eBay.

Good luck.

PS: no doubt one of the other members who are techie savvy on this will pitch in, so wait to get some more input before shelling out your hard earned cash.

Great! thanks!

what did you install? If there is a dongle that goes in the back that lets me play songs from my Iphone, it would make sense to install it while i am changing the head unit.

Only if you want it to look crap
