Vehicle Compatibility

- 2002 Lexus LX470
- 2003 Lexus LX470 — verify production date and original number
The strongest U.S.-market application is the 2001–2002 Lexus LX470. Lexus catalog references extend the part number from 2000 through 2003, but audio equipment changed during this period.
Exact compatibility depends on:
- Vehicle production date
- Factory audio option
- Navigation equipment
- Original amplifier number
- Connector and mounting configuration

Mark Levinson Requirement
This amplifier is only intended for an LX470 equipped with the factory Mark Levinson premium audio system.
It is not intended for:
- Standard Lexus audio systems
- Nakamichi premium audio systems
- Vehicles requiring another amplifier number
- Toyota Land Cruiser applications unless independently verified
- Aftermarket radio systems without the proper integration equipment
A vehicle may be the correct year and model but still use an incompatible amplifier.
Common Failure Symptoms
A failing Mark Levinson amplifier may cause:
- No sound from the speakers
- Loud popping or cracking noises
- Audio cuts in and out
- Distorted sound
- Amplifier works only when cold
- Sound disappears after warming up
- Some speaker channels stop working
- Radio powers on but produces no audio
- Excessively loud noise when the ignition is switched on
These symptoms can also be caused by faulty speakers, wiring, grounds, the radio, CD changer, low system voltage, or another audio component. Proper diagnosis is recommended before ordering.
Condition Details
This is a used original Lexus electronic component. It may show normal cosmetic wear, scratches, dust, faded labeling, minor oxidation, or evidence of previous installation.
Please inspect all photographs carefully. You will receive the exact item shown unless otherwise stated.
This amplifier was tested before removal and produced clear audio through the available factory speaker channels, without popping, crackling, or distortion.
Installation
Professional installation and audio-system diagnosis are recommended.
Before installation:
