The car begins in 3rd gear or something.

Step down does not downshift.

The IS is not a great snow car !

But a great car otherwise!

Hello Everybody. I own a 99 IS 200 and have the same knocking, creaking noises mostly when making turns. I am the original owner and noticed the noise some time ago. I wonder if the shocks need to be replaced?

Anybody else?

Greetings from Switzerland.

My GS came with a kit already installed as shown below

I want to remove this Nokia kit and replace it with a bracket for my phone.

I dont want to use the hands free kit as I will be installing a bluetooth kit soon.

I want to know is if it would be ok if I just cut the wires that go to the cradle (as they are hard wired to it) and insulate them with tape and then just poke them behind the dash as I dont want to be taking the dash apart right now.

Can anyone see any problems with this?

Thanks

Paul

I am glad that I had the dealer took the car kit out when I bought the car!

Good luck!

Sounds familiar!

I just got my IS back yesterday - but the circumstances are slightly different!

I was driving a small POS Citroen AX - and we finally bought a family car....an RX!

So the wife and kids are well set in the RX and I FINALLY got my IS back!

Cheers
