Thanks for the offer Lee, but you're about a million miles away from me!!! :D
Anyway, I'm gonna give it another crack after work on Saturday. Admittedly it was dark when I first tried and I couldn't see a damn thing B), so that probably don't help!!! I'll use all the the advise you guys have given me and with a bit of luck we should be in business.
Anyone got any ideas on where the best place to fit the iPod adapter would be Its a bit bigger than I thought and probably needs to be somewhere accessable.
Cheers Guys, will keep you posted!

Ok you guys, what's the trick? I spent 2 hours last night trying to get that damn plug out of the amp and the bloody thing won't budge. I can get my hand to it - just - but even with the tag pushed in it wouldn't move an inch!!! I've unclipped the wires to it, and although they're still quite rigid they do have a bit of movement. But it's like the thing is welded in!!! :shutit: Sooooo disappointed, thought I was gonna have it all up and running last night but had to give up due to scratched, bruised, battered, numb hands/fingers!!! :tsktsk:
Help .......PLEASE!!!
p.s. if anyone has got that link to the directions for removing the dash, please can you post it here as that would come in handy too!!!

Well guys I've done it!!! Just ordered all my gear. Went for the lead and facia adapter off e-bay, and the Pioneer DEH-P75BT h/u with the CD-IB100-II iPod adapter (See Pioneer DEH-P75BT)
Just a matter of waiting now!
Will let you know how I get on..........W.T.S........

Well I'll hopefully be ordering all my kit this weekend - if I can decide on a h/u! Stuck between a Kenwood or a Pioneer!!! :duh:
A question regarding the speakers.......Will any after market 6x9's fit in the Lexus covers on the parcel shelf, or do I need to look out for a particular type/size?
And regarding the installation........Is it easy to take the centre consol apart for fitting, 'cos after a brief inspection I can't see any obvious fixings/clips around the air vents and top shelf!!!
Thanks for your help guys............ :winky:
Oh, quick question for q8hk.... what head unit is that? Looks sweet!!!!!!!

Yeah same as. Want to connect my iPod to the car stereo without that really annoying tape adapter going "click-click-click" all the time in the background! Also want a h/u that plays mp3 cd's, and I've found the Lexus h/u struggles to keep a good reception on FM stations!
Not too worried about the orange illumination, as I've changed the dash lights to Neon Blue LED's, so I'll probably go for a blue-illumination stereo!
Thanks for the input!! :winky:

Hi Everyone,
Got another Newbie here!!!! Just been reading through this forum and have to say you've answered pretty much all my questions already! Had my IS200 nearly a year now and the only thing thats dissapointed me has been the stereo. When I heard of all the problems replacing it, I decided "well, it's not THAT bad!!!" But hearing you guys praising this lead from e-bay has really given me hope. :winky:
So to all you guys who have tried and tested it, are you still happy with the job it does with the factory-fitted speakers? Do you advise giving it a go? And should I be looking for anything particular when buying my new h/u?

Hooray!!!!!!!
At last, got the job done today! Enlisted my younger brother with girl-like-but-strong-hands to aid me with the plug. Two hours of struggling the other night with no joy. He comes along and gets the bloody thing out in ten minutes!!! :tsktsk: Won't be hearing the end of that one for a while!!!
Well impressed with head unit. :) Got the ipod adapter in aswell and all works fine. Even the Bluetooth hands-free worked!
Was slightly disappointed with the fascia off e-bay though! It went in ok but there did seem to be a few gaps around the edges and it's not all that sturdy. Maybe it's just the perfectionist in me raising it's ugly head!
Will post some pics when I get a chance.
Cheers for your help guys! :winky:
