  1. I've recently upgraded my is200 to a shiny new ct200h Advance. The ct200 is great but a very very different drive to the is200. Obviously the change from manual to auto is taking a bit of getting used to but it feels like you're driving a much bigger car than you actually are. My main query at the moment is the parking brakes - there's an electronic Park button and a manual handbrake. Which one should i be using when idle in traffic? What does the Park button actually do?
  2. I've recently installed GROM-USB2 and i have a few queries on it: 1. I've taken the head unit out, connected the grom unit and put it all back. Can someone confirm the correct installation of the Toy 1 cable? On one end there's 2 connectors, i plugged one into the empty port next to the original lexus cd cable and left the unused one hanging down. Got a feeling this is incorrect, can someone confirm? 2. The unit does work, i can play ringtones, voice recordings etc through the car stereo. But i mainly bought it to use Spotify through it - this does not work. Anyone got experience with this? Would it be easier just to buy the bluetooth module? 3. My radio just switches itself off halfway through a journey. I switch it back on but i cant change to a cd & i cant change the volume. Restarting the car sorts this out though. Could this be due to the possible incorrect connections in point 1? Thanks
  3. Thanks for all the suggestions! The 2 din would be the best solution if money was no option but the grom looks a lot easier and cheaper for probably the same sound quality. Used a cassette adaptor before, wasn't that impressed to be honest.
  4. Hi Just taken delivery of my 05 IS200, absolute quality. The only thing i really want to upgrade is the stereo but i literally dont know where to start. Got no experience with the wiring so i'd rather a pro did it for me. I've had a quick look online but i cant find what systems are compatible with my car, checked halfords website but in the compatibility tool lexus isnt an option for some reason. All i need is a unit with a usb connection, only need it for playing music. Wont be making calls or using is it as a sat nav. Not really fussed on improving the sound as the speakers seem tidy enough anyway. Any idea on where i should start?
