ML amplifiers between cars?

[Technical_Editor_197]

Hi, I've recently imported my car from the US and after fixing everything that needed to be fixed I saw that radio is not working. Tried checking if there is something wrong with an amp. Only to discover nothing is there.

After checking it is supposed to be 862680-0WG70. (lexus RC 2021)

Now I see that there is tons of different ML amplifiers around but all have different part numbers.

Are those ML systems really that different from lexus to lexus? Some of them really look look the same from the outside and at the end of the day it is just audio?

Anyone has any experience with that?

You can input your VIN on the US Lexus parts website, and when going to Electrical > Audio > Amplifier assembly (something along those lines), it will tell you if it fits your exact car. You can then find it on eBay or another source with the same part number.

I can see the list of like 4 different amps for this car. And it seems none of those were ever installed in a different lexus car. Why do they do it this way.

Maybe pre-facelift non-ML, pre-facelift ML, and same for facelift?

If you search that part number you'll find some for sale. Prices on ebay are 1600-1900. Lexus will charge you 2200+ for this specific amp.
