I got one of these. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Rear-Car-Parking...id=p3286.c0.m14 took me a couple of hours to fit and they were perfect. tape 10p to the bumper where you want them and then mark them before drilling. the control box connetcs to the reversing light wires.

oh i have plenty of those. not many cars i have owned have so many memories without a woman in it.

thats the gutting thing about having to sell it. 7 years old and it still looks new. And its so much fun to drive.

we are selling both to get one. Im considering buying an old mini to rebuild for the wife to use

wont be the first bank i dont think

im going for a plain old boring Passat. the milage i do for work is pushing me that way. id love to keep my lex but i just cant afford to.

On the plus side the car im buying im getting at 2 grand under book.

Well i have been unsuccessful in selling my Lex and had to bite the bullet and trade it in. 2 things that are gutting me at the moment. 1 its goign to go to auction and not going to get the notice it deserves. 2. i was offered £2,500 as a trade in. thats a 3rd of what i paid for it 2 years ago. Is this the death knell of the IS and its high running costs?

I got something similar a year or so ago. Not as packed as this. was a pain to get wired in had to get a £20 iso adapter and butcher it to get it working. And i needed the Audioleads double din facia at £20 When it did it worked great. TV, DVD and MP3. After a week i took it out as the one i had wasnt touch screen and i couldn't change the colour scheme from blue to orange to make it fit in better with the dash lights. I know its personal opinion but i honestly prefer the look of the standard unit in mine so i stuck with it. edit: oh and i noted that its an analogue TV tuner not DVB so it wont work in a couple of years time when they switch off the Analogue tv signal.

I had this problem too. My Headunit wouldnt read any Writeable media. I have even had issues buying genuine cd's that it cant read. i went for a simple tape adapter and ipod setup since it was the easiest. (strange though it sounds better than CD's)

I got aa 4 sensor kit from fleabay and it was ***** easy to fit. a tin of paint from halfords and sprayed them up a treat. I didn't go for any flashy 8 sensors ( I can see the front of my car didn't need beeps telling me as well) or any display ones as you should be looking at what your doing not at some screen. the kit I got only beeps when your close so there is not multiple beep filling your car when doing a normal reverse. The hardest thing is making sure all holes are symetrical and in line. I taped 10ps to the bumper and stood back to make sure that it was good. then I scored round them and drilled. don't go overtly fancy unless you spend a lot of time going backward. I personally think displays and stuff ruin the dash and make the car look tacky.

I bought onw of the double din DVD players and spent an age fitting it as its not got a connector on the end. when it was fitted i hated it. Very basic and ugly sitting in the dash on my is200. I got rid of it less than a week after buying it because it was bad. I was more concerned about looks rather than function. but i do know the redio bit was crap. Saying that mine was not touchscreen and the spec of the ones on ebay look alot better than the one I got. Give it a try and if like me you hate it then flog it I am sure some boy racer would buy it for his Saxo. ( i made £10 on mine when i sold it on)

I got a no holes cradle bracket for my phone and i now use a uniberdal phone holder fo it. when im not charging my phone i use it to hold the ipod. its easy to fit and doesnt ruin the dash. can be used for holding anythign as the cradles attach to the bracket which is attached to the Head uni mounting points http://shop.dashmount.co.uk/

Anyone recommend a garage to carry out a timing belt change on a iS200. I cant really afford the £300 lexus want for it (its a £45 part FFS) I live in the Edinburgh area

i got my densos from Ebay but aparently Pentland Componends can do them.
