Hello all, I have recently fitted a cd changer to my IS200, 2000 SE. I've used a Sony FM modulator & Sony 10 disc changer and have connected this to what I believe to be the stereo perm live, live and negative wire's attaching to the back of the stereo. The CD changer and modulator work perfectly and sound qaulity is very good (id recommend anyone with the dredded ERRO3 message to give this a go, as with this model you can insert the cd changer control unit into the centre consol of your IS200). However although all the audio equipment works fine, the dash illumination fuse keeps blowing (ie every time i insert a new fuse, as soon as i turn the lights on it blowes). I can only assume ive connected to the wrong live on the back of the stereo :shutit: ??? Can anyone please help. Cheers guys p.s if anyone is interested the link is below for changer and modulator I used. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SONY-CDX-454RF-10-DISC-FM-MODULATOR-CAR-CD-CHANGER_W0QQitemZ170131819649QQihZ007QQcategoryZ85808QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem

Hey people, Fistly, hello to you all. Im a newbie to this forum but have already read many useful messages, so thanks. I have an Is200 SE on a 2000 (W) plate and surprise, surprise, I have the dreaded ERROR3 message. I am aware there is no easy fix to this problem, So my solution is as follows: I have bought a sony fm modulator which connects to a 6 disk MP3 changer. However, to fit this modulator i simply need to connect to a switched live, perminant live and a negitive. I have located a wiring diagram, which suggests the following: Grey is switched live... Blue/Yellow is permanent live... I have removed the stereo and can't see any wires with the colour markings listed above. Please can someone confirm if these colours are correct? if NOT please can someone let me know the correct colours. apologies if this has been posted before. Thanks in advance for your help.
