Hi all,

Just bought an Is200 se 6 speed manual, 2001 in gunmetal grey at the weekend. Impressed with the vehicle but have a few issues I would like opinions on:

Cruise control

The owner stated that it had crusie control, but i cannot find it anywhere??????

Heated wing mirrors

Again this was stated by the owner but i can find the switch to carry out this function (i have found the heated seats switch)...please help?

Jet nozzle cover

My left hand side one is missing, where can i obrtain one of these from and approx cost?

New radiator

I been told i will need one. Have seen a few on eBay are these ok or best to get it from dealer?

Parking sensor kit

Have seen some on eBay for £20 odd and sound well spec'd...are these actually any good...one would think if they are fitted right then they would be adequate???

Remote key fob

Only have the master key and one blank key. I wold like to copy the master key, can i just go to a elec locksmith to get the master key copied?

Thanks in advance and apologise for my stupid questions :shutit:

for the key check eBay for a blank and get it cut , then you can use the instructions on these forums to program it , i was in your situation a few days ago but now i have 2 blank master keys on there way for £75

Interesting as i have your exact same model and colour car but mine has parking sensors and is 2005 (you sure you dont hear a beep when you engage reverse)

I have parking ok but not easy as the is is a big car , so the sensors help , but reverse seems to cut out if you dont give mine some revs but so far thats been bearable

welcome and wish you many successes with the car

No cruise on Manuals.

The heated wing mirrors are on all the time unless you have a symbol next to the rear window heater symbol

Thanks for the clarification.

The orange light stays on my air circulating button and does not go off, is this linked to the heated mirrors?

So if i put the rear heater or seat heater, they automatically go on??

Thanks

Alright there mate.

I think you might be getting a little confused to what Sparkystav is saying.

Depending on what year your IS is, your heated wing mirrors will either be on all the time, or switched on with your rear heated window.

Have a look at you’re A/C controls.

Which control unit does yours look like ?

01062009014.jpg

44f1fe82badb9.jpg

If you have the top one, then you heated mirrors are on all the time, and can’t be turned off.

If you have the second one, then your heated mirrors will only work when you press the demister/heated mirror button.

The little orange light will always be on. Don’t worry about this, as it only comes on when you have the fans or A/c running, and can’t be turned off either (unless the unit is faulty).

Your heated seats have nothing to do with the heated mirrors or windows. They are on separate switches.

Also, when you say you have a missing “Jet Nozzel Cover”, are you talking about the head lamp washer, or the windshield washer?

If you are talking about the headlamp washer, I might have a cover in colour for you, but I will need to double check.
