I've got a new ML CD player for when I had 2 ls430's, I knew these cars had issues with the audio systems, but before I could replace it I sold the cars, I had enough of troubles you get with the ls430, I might buy another one though as I have a good job now and can afford to fix anything that goes wrong with the ls430, as I did like the drive on it. So I still have the new CD player sitting in my cupboard, but my point is this, Lexus claim their audio systems are the best etc, but I prefer the system in the ls400, I think it sounds better, also, I have a corrado vr6 since 1995 and have a denon system in it, I play copy cd's in it, and to this day no faults on it, where as the is200 and the la430's are newer and if you play copy cd's in it you get error codes, how rubbish is that
