I contacted the seller about the noise and got this short vague reply: "we have not heard of hissing noice - if possible please recheck the wiring to the speakers and make sure they are connected correctly and securely." Needless to say this was no help whatsoever. So I remain clueless. Would an ICE shop be likely to hook up an amp to test the HU on the understanding that if it eliminated the hiss I would be buying the amp? Surely they would have opened box products lying about? I can't justify spending money on an amp that might not fix the problem.

I don't know why that is? Try going to here to get on my site then if anyone wants just click "use this skin". Should work that way.

Hello everyone. Just to let any members who are also on Bebo, I made a Lexus IS200 skin as there were none present at all. It is my first effort at it but I still reckon it is worth a look. I even gave the club a plug in the bottom corner of the main header. Anyway have a look and let me know what you's think. Oh and by the way, I am in no way trying to take away from this forum, Bebo is NO substitute for this site.

It would seem to be no coincidence. I was reading that some people are having problems running the standard speakers on aftermarket amps. Whats the best approach? Lexus wiring diagrams would be a help if anyone out there could help? Did you use the same iso lead as me Stav? I was thinking of rewiring a bit to allow the DVD video to play whilst moving. Time to get the multimeter out!!!

I forgot to say that the only change I made was the HU. There are no amps or subs etc.

Thanks for the replies so far. The HU is ok for its price. Picture quality is nothing spectacular but it has plenty of features which I hope to make use of in the future. The built in mic for the bluetooth kit could do with a bit higher gain. Has anyone else out there got one of these HU's and have they encountered any problems? Also the point of buying this was it's price, if I need to get a an amp to improve its sound then it kind of defeats the purpose. Could it be an earthing problem or some other wiring problem? A mate has told me you get what you pay for, but I hope it can be sorted.

I just installed this unbranded system in my 2002 Lexus IS200 S yesterday, I couldn't really afford anything top end. Check out this link for details click here Anyway the problem is that I am getting a hissing noise in the speakers, like interference or something. I used the passion automotive iso adaptor cable click here and a modified autoleads fascia kit click here to fit the HU. The noise is present during DVD video and music playback, during radio, SD/USB, in fact it is present during all sound media applications. I am still using standard speakers. As the fascia kit is plastic the HU chassis is isolated but the HU is still grounded through the ISO lead. The noise is more noticable at low volumes. I fitted this system because of CD errors on my OEM HU, but there was never any hissing present with the old HU. Could this be rectified, or is it a cheap HU problem? Please help

I painted mine with hamerite smooth blue. It looks well with the astral black. Got white decals of ebay and it turned out to be a real easy job. I found that two normal coats and then a thinned down coat to get a smoother finish worked well. Its a little thick to get a smooth top coat without thinning a little. And remember the calipers can never be too clean before painting! There's no point painting onto brake dust. I added a few photos to my album but I dont know how to post images into a thread yet, sorry.

Hello, Ive been reading the forum for almost a year now, but only recently got around to joining up. I have a 2002 Lexus IS200 S. Totally standard at the minute but this will change over the next month or two. Fitting a TRD body kit with a Lester big wing (Altezza style) spoiler. Already fitted a sports mesh grille. Loving the car, only got it 2 months ago. Only once the body mods are done will I start on the ICE and maybe a few performance mods, we'll see how the money stretches out. Hope to get photos up soon of the ongoing project.
