What Owners Say
"It contained 6 CDs but suddenly stopped working"
P M., CA (2011 Lexus ES 350 3.5-L V6)"The stereo quit recognizing that it had a CD player. The Lexus dealer put a re-built system in (the entire dashboard module: CD, FM, navigation system, heater controls, etc.) for about $900. The replaced system has been in the car for about 9 months and works okay"
Thomas O., KS (2011 Lexus ES 350 3.5-L V6)"USB port went dead"
