Mine has 192k, bought it with 4k as an ex demo. 09/2000 registered.

Thanks for the offer seecarr11, but you are a little further than I thought :-) You are right it would cost more in shipping.

Hi seecarr11, thanks for your response. I did manage to change the sensor....eventually. Found it really difficult to get a grip of the sensor to loosen it, but once done the new one went in without any probs. Where abouts are you, I'd be interested in the Parts that you no longer require? Thanks

Hi, I've had the p0155 code appear today on my is200. Is it definitely the Denso DOX-0205 part that is required? Also, is this as easy diy job to fit to a unmodified is200 as the front sensor. I've previously had the p0135 code and changed the sensor towards the front. Have used sparkplugs.co.uk before for the front sensor and fitted that over two years ago, so do recommend them. Thanks,

Got 180k on my IS200 SE Auto now. Bought it as an ex-demo (6 months old) in Feb 2001 with 4k. Looks good (from a distance), closer inspection shows all the stone chips, car park dings and vandal damage!!

Got a replacement GROM kit and still nothing. Sent the whole lot back and given up :megaangry:

Hi Matt, Stuart, thanks both for all your help. Just been playing with the GROM again, following instructions through step by step but still nothing! Yesterday, after using the flash drive with the firmware update I got the cd1 as per Matt's photo, but that was it. Today nothing. Carputer shop said they would replace the kit in case it is faulty, may try that and if it doesn't then will give up!

Ok, just rejoined the wire. Took the stereo out, plugged the wires back in, still no joy. Then plugged in the flash drive with the firmware update and finally got the stereo to show the same screen that Matt sent last night. only problem no sound!!!! Think it's not meant to be......

Thanks Matt, the iPod is a classic, so old style connector that came with the grom should be fine. I will recheck the connectors tomorrow and also try to reconnect the cut wire. If I can see some communication between the grom and the stereo, ill follow your step by step guide. Many thanks for your help, hopefully i'll have some good news tomorrow

It was just the one wire he told me to cut as he said that this may cause the stereo to be muted! I'm now hoping that the wire that's been cut is not the power/signal to/from the GROM. I will use the instructions in your earlier post to see if I get connected. Failing that I'll ask for a replacement TOY1 cable and if that doesn't work, I'll get a refund on the GROM and take singing lessons!!!! The CD player packed up several years ago and I'd been using a tape adaptor to play the iPod through. Now either the tape player or the adaptor are making a lot of background noise.

Thanks for the quick response Stuart, The TOY1 plug into the back of the stereo is so tight that I can not pull it back out, don't want to put too much force on it incase I damage anything. So, I've got the Y shaped TOY1 cable plugged into the right hand side (when looking at the stereo in situ) rear socket, the original cable that was in that socket (has two wires on it) I've now plugged into the TOY1 and connected the other end to the GROM. Everything on the car works as normal (radio and Sat nav Ladies voice). Plugged in the IPOD using the connector turned it on and nothing. Pressed CD, then pressed CD twice, still nothing. I have got the USB cable and the intention was to have both available so that i could use either Ipod or Android phone, but right now got neither. I've not tried the firmware yet, but seeing as I only got the GROM last Saturday, would've expected it to be upto date. getting a bit frustrated, seeing as most people have said it's so straight forward and seeing as as the CARPUTER-SHOP guy said to cut a wire. Although GROM in the U.S have said that's not a problem!!

Hi, just been reading how easily most people have managed to install the GROM. I've just bought the USB2 device from GROM tried to install it using the TOY1 cable. The cable has two connectors on it. One plugged into the Stereo port (which already had a connector in it and I then plugged the original cable into the second connector on the TOY1 cable. Without plugging the original cable into th TOY1 I had no sound. I then connected the IPOD to the GROM but got nothing!! Contacted CARPUTER SHOP who I bought the GROM from and they told me to cut the white wire on the TOY1 cable - done that still nothing. Contacted GROM in the US and they've just sent me a firmware update. Really annoyed as I thought this was going to be straight forward, also did not read theis topic before and scratched the dashboard around the stereo.......... Any help would be welcome. BTW my car has the 13903 stereo and factory fit Sat Nav.

Hi, just out of curiosity, how long are brake calipers supposed to last, realise this could be affected by how the car is driven and the weather conditions etc. Just that apart from the OSF which has been replaced twice now, the other three are original and I've had the car from when it was six months old. It is now 12.5 years old and has 174k on it. Have I been lucky with the other calipers?

Just had the OSF caliper, pads and front discs changed. Saw a caliper on eBay but was not too sure about it, so bought from carparts4less instead. Item is remanufactured by Pagid, cost £118, including surcharge of £24. Also, they have a £15 off voucher if you spend over £100, so once I get my surcharge refunded the cost will be £79, plus it cost me £5 to return the old caliper. So a total of £84. Bit annoyed that the same caliper was changed by Lexus 60k miles ago but the other three are the originals. Next to do is rear discs, pads and shoes, all PAGID again.

Mines a 2000/x with 170k, I've had it near enough 12 years now, just had the second cambelt change done this week. Will keep it going for as long as possible!
