To those who has 06' IS250 JPN Spec, may I ask the CD Player (non Mark Levinson) is it a changer or just a single disc? Am looking for an IS, confusing part is, the player does not have "LOAD" button but has "CH Disc" buttons.

it's a single disc player with HDD. It will record the disc as you play it. Only need to play the disc once and it will be stored in your HDD. i don't think there is a load button, just eject the disc inside and indest the new one..................

From the last owner, i think i deleted almost 100 cd's - so go wild and record your whole collection in it.

I see. But what if we ejected the disc midway thru the disc? Will it record ahead and complete the entire duplication into the HDD or will it only record while we playing the track and not record the track that we have not played?

I read from another thread one of the members here had his HDD giving problems with some error message on the screen. There's no follow up on the thread on the solution....so anyone face the issue with faulty HDD? Anyone had the HDD replaced before? As you know HDD has a lifespan moreover the car is moving all the time couple with our malaysian bumpy roads...I m just afraid the HDD will give way after some time....I wonder how can we replace the HDD and hopefully its a plug and play process which I can just purchase one from the computer shop and plug it in n move on.

bro,

it records ahead of what is being played. It will even show on the screen which songs already recorded. and the recording is quite fast.

i'm sure can find HDD spare parts from suppliers - but what model n spec is a good question. don't think it would be so easy just to buy from computer shop ler....................

It means so far, no one has had the HDD fail on them yet even the 2006's. Quite reliable eh.

Bro,

You can do a search for tips on buying IS250 in the thread - talked about many times. Most of us are active on facebook with our own group. Search for MY Lexus group, you can get some more help there.
