Xcarlink Mp3 Usb Type 2 Connector (5+7) Pin

[Poncho]

Just bought one of these to connect my 2003 IS200SE to my MP3 player, USB port works ok for power only but when I press disc on my CD changer and then the FM button (pressing disc twice does not work), the xcarlink device makes a click. It then shows CD1 on the Lexus radio display and then disappears back to the normal radio display after about 2 seconds. Am I doing something wrong, I have trid reseating the cable without joy?

i bought one after i couldnt get the grom adaptor to work properly but it did the same as u say

so i dont know what the problem is i beleive its to do with the unit not sending the correct message to the HU via the chip in their unit itself thus not allowing in to change over i have not found a solution and if i was u knowing you having trouble with the xcarlink dont buy a grom as it prob wonk work correctly

In the end, got a Grom and worked straight away like a champ!

Hi Poncho

I am new to this and have a 2002 model of the IS200SE. I have spent a hell of a lot of time trying to find a way to connect my USB player. Did you ever get yours to work? If so, would you mind forwarding me the link to where you bought it and any instructions to fit it?

Many thanks
