2002 LX470 head unit replacement advice… (1 Viewer)

[timberwilde]

In my 2002 LX470 the Climate/Nav/Radio powers on but is not functioning. I’ve seen a lot of discourse on replacements etc. but would like to get thoughts on an easy solution that will give me climate control. The other stuff is a give or take thing as I use my iPhone for most navigation and music. Apple CarPlay would be nice.

Anyway, please let me know what you all recommend.

As always, thanks in advance for your advice.

Is it Mark Levinson, or Nakamichi?

If it's ML, the T'eyes CC3 is a plug and play with climate control support.

There's a lengthy thread, however the process is pretty straightforward and us early adopters are finding it works really well.

My 2002 LX470 has a different looking dash.
I'm wondering if the T'eyes CC3 would work.

I have the ML. However, as I think about it, I am not sure what problem I am having. I assume the head unit is faulty as that seems to be common. My radio comes on and I can bring up the INFO screen, just no climate. It says “Check the connection of Air Conditioner”. And “No disk Detected” on MAP.

What problem do you think I have with this? And should I just go 3rd party?

Here are some screen shots.

"No disk selected" ... could it be because of the Navigation cdrom disk in the unit under the passenger seat?
Or something amiss with the Music cd cartridge at the bottom of the arm rest storage console?

It is under the seat. Any thoughts on the Climate error?

Checked fuses???

 

[timberwilde]

Fuses are good.

Did you have any luck with a solution? My 2002 LX is doing the same thing. I replaced the MFD and the AC Amplifier and did not have any success.
