The LS430 was equipped with an available factory Mark Levinson premium sound system specifically engineered for the vehicle. This original OEM amplifier maintains the factory system configuration rather than replacing it with a universal aftermarket amplifier.
Condition
This is a used genuine OEM Lexus/Mark Levinson component and may show normal cosmetic wear consistent with age and previous use.
Please review all product photographs carefully. The photographs show the actual condition of the item being offered.
Inspect and compare the electrical connectors, mounting points and part-number label with your original amplifier before installation.
Only the amplifier and components shown in the photographs are included.
Installation & Diagnosis

Installation by an experienced automotive audio technician is recommended if the cause of the original audio failure has not been confirmed.

Please verify that your Lexus LS430 is equipped with the factory Mark Levinson audio system and compare your original amplifier with the following numbers:
