Notes:
The Sony MDX-62RF is the same unit, but came with the RM-X69RF central box, the XA-2 MD/CD Changer Display and the RM-X46 Remote Control.
For connecting two or more changers, the XA-C30 source selector is needed.
The Toyota MDX-6T61C seems to be functional identical to the MDX-62 with minor cosmetic differences.
