swapping out cd drive for dvd drive

I searched for DVD and checked out different spots on the forum.

Would I be correct in thinking that you just need to pull out the MCS unit, and then remove the cd drive and sub in the dvd drive?[?]

RE: swapping out cd drive for dvd drive

Yes, that's all there is to it if you already have CD. took me 15 minutes total and didn't even have to unplug the MCS - just pulled it out and rested in on a folded up pillow while doing the swap. You take the 4 screws out of the top, lift it off, squeeze the cable clip on the cd drive and unplug it, unplug the gray GPS antenna cable, lift the cd drive out and do the reverse to put the dvd in. Turn it on, insert your new DVD map, and you're off.

RE: swapping out cd drive for dvd drive

There is truth in your words, Grasshopper. [8)] lol. Hey, have you mailed the lights yet? Did they say how long it would take. Kinda curious when to expect them. I ordered some new bulbs for them along with a whole set of superbright white LED lights for the interior, license plate, etc. Already got the license plate ones in and they look very cool like the 2006 Lexus's. My 05 Lexus didn't have them, so I also ordered some for it too. You will like the DVD nav if you travel out of your old cd region much, not to mention less hassle and the fact that they will continue to update it. Of course I have heard they are going to release a 2006 set of CDs as well as a 2006 DVD.
