Hi all I'm new here I did a search didn't find what I was looking for. Question I have is

Would it be possible to install the factory navi into a standard is220d I've seen one on eBay with all the wiring loom etc.

Any ideas??

could have chased after him but the police saw it all... anyway insurance said the reg i gave has insurance and there gonna get the it sorted within the next two days luckily i had quite a lot of witness including the police man that was there. get a courtasy car so im gonna be driving a mondeo or the new insignia would rather it be another lex tho lol maybe the ISF lol

hello

I worked it out yesterday was quite simple actually. Basically in the SE and sport models which have the amp the OEM HU only has 2 connections on the back. With the S model there is no amp but there is a total of 4 connections on the OEM HU.

This must work like the amp does but in the HU. So to run the sat nav i had to dismantle the HU. taking out only the circuit and connections which was quite simple. take out the cassett and cd changer drive which left a unit the size of a single din and mounted it under the glove box.

Connected the sat nav connectors to what the connectors from the old HU and the other two connectors being the speakers and power to the aftermarket HU.

Everything works even voice guidance. instead of the drivers speaker being switched off constatly when the sat nav needs to speak it will turn the sound off from that speaker and speak then after will turn the sound back on again. :D

and even better news the person who hit my car claimed liability :D

Is there a address or post code for my Tom Tom ?? please

I'm 95% in by the way

What date will this meet happen i know you said your getting pics made i could possibly get a vid done ill be able to edit it and stuff to make it something like that youtube lexus meet vid from america... What you think???

my advice is report it to the your insurance company and let them deal. it will be very hard for the third party to deny once you got witness statements, and if he does continue you would end up going to court, and if that does happen, it is more then likely the judge will see it in ur favor specially with witness details.

if at the end of it all, if 0% your fault, then it should not affect your insurance at all. some insurer dont even allow 50/50 affect the price.

nice one mate gotta ring them 2mrw claim lines closed at 5 today.. ill post tomorrow let you know what they say.

yh will be in your name and you will have to pay the excess if the third party denies the accident ever happened, its good u got the reg number and make and model, as this is all what insurance needs, police will be useless as usual.

get the witness details for sure, and when the third party does not admit fault or denies it totally, then there will get statements from the witnesses make sure the witness includes make model and reg plate, thats where the witness for my dads went wrong.

you got a good chase, but if you are in a position to pay the excess get the car repaired, if the third party admits then you sorted, car will be repaired and you will be offered a decent hire car, unlike the ford ka i got. as there recover the full costs, if there deny then prepar yourself to put up with the damage on the car if you not able to pay the excess, and the excess will only be waived once it settled.

good luck

looks like my insurance might possibly go up and just as it was suppose to go down....... Well ill have to wait and see what happens if not ill just fix it myself i guess shouldn't be too hard new grill and take a closer look at the bonnet (better then having a claim on my name if it all goes pair shaped) well still drivable so thats the best thing. bloody idiot

hopefully he admits the bonnet is in need of a re-spray motorway stone chips

Some idiot in a chelsea tractor reversed into my Lex today while t was parked up. luckily i was just a few meters a way and saw, so i run up to him and tried to get him out but he drove off just as i got to his window anyway didn't look too bad until me and my friend had a look at it after phoning the police. Got his reg number I'm after you lol

Damage:

Dented, scratched bonnet which has also been pushed up 2 cm on the left hand side. (might need hinges replacing or the entire bonnet)

Creaked grill

But the bonnet being pushed up is the worse.

nothing damaged under the bonnet thank god.

Police took details and said they are going to track the number plate then hold interviews with the person who is probably going to deny everything (i have witnesses) the police said he'll get done for driving without due care and attention and making off from a RTC thats gong to take ages....

anyway need to notify my insurance just wanted to know what to tell them will the claim be put on my name the car was parked and nobody was inside this is the first time i'm ringing the insurance to report a claim.

post a video up as i havent fitted a double din in my car yet. will do once i do other mods to my car

double din quite easy the same as single. when u get the facial plate i got mine from autoleads all you do i take out the pocket and carefully cut the plastic going along the middle its easier then you think. got a double din touchscreen pioneer DVD IPod Etc etc

but if you have a double din that comes out then you need to sand alot of the bottom bit down so it comes out proper

depends on the actual size of the unit my unit has a 6 inch screen its about 7inch including the surround with about 2mm of space around the facia.

The worst thing happened to my wonderful Lex today i was parked up and a :tsktsk: in a chelsea tractor reviced into the bonnet while trying to get his tank out so ive rushed to his widow and the :tsktsk: drove off..... Got his number plate but now its going to take ages to sort out with police and insurance. Plus there properly going to give me a claim stupid insurance terms. even thought the car was parked.....

damage:

dented bonnet, bonnet pushed up 2cm on left hand side

scratched paintwork

cracked grill

lucky it drives and nothing under the bonnet was damaged

i would guess that it works as normal with the hu being used to poll for the canbus system..

i would suggest builidng the bypass box here: info

for the sake of about £10 its worth a shot..

Thanks for your help mate gonna play around with everything on monday and hopeful a solution would come from it. was having a look at the wiring and im guessing its just a way of getting some power to the screen any way done a few ICE installs in the Lex so ill have a play around.

??

do you have all of the loom running to the screen then?

if so you should have a loom on the stereo that requires the bypass on it..

there are a total of 4 looms on the oem HU two of which are the power and speaker plugs (they are plugged into the aftermarket HU) and 2 are for the navi i guess. (one must be the power and the other must be for the voice guidance) the navi itself just has one loom a small clip at the back.

Ah ok, I see. Hmm, sounds slightly unusual to have an S with satnav, I wonder if someone else has looked into how to get this to work with an aftermarket head unit ? Might be best to PM Fargo and ask him, since he knows all about how it works with the built-in amp solution.

Thanks mate yeh must have been a extra when someone first brought it... but has a first stage remap to 180 well 176 from the dyno and its been lowwered on the TTE suspension sweeeet.... need a F1 defuser lol

It wont just work by plugging it in mate as Stevie said.

Your best to search P.Lindboms posts about how he removed the screen and replaced it with a sony touchscreen sat nav.

I already have the factory fitted sat nav installed in the car came out the factory like it the computer in the boot went, so i got another computer which works. the sat nav is powered through the HU but the HU has err 3 message so is no good, wanted to know how to run the sat nav through a aftermarket HU.

Just to say again my IS is already fitted with factory sat nav and all wiring done by lexus when it was made. sorry i didn't make this clear in the original post.

You got the OEM satnav ? If your model didn't have satnav to start with, then you'll be missing all the wiring. What did you get, did you get the screen plus the CD/DVD part of the unit as well ? Sounds like it would be a pretty big job to me to wire all that up. I suspect you'd have been better off spending that money on a TomTom which would just plug in and work

Hi. I already had oem sat nav fitted to the car factory fitted got all the wiring and everything, the problem was with the cd drive which is located in the boot it needed replacing. just wanted to know if there is a way of bypassing but can only find threads which detail how to do it if you have the amp which i do not.

Hello

So i got a second hand sat nav computer only £150 off eBay the dealers charge £3k bargain the computer and everything works woohoooo but my head unit has the ERR3 message on it before i got the computer i had a double din aftermarket headunit in just wondered how do i wire up the sat nav with a aftermarket HU?

I have the S model which does not have a amp...

Any help......

Hi im new here so sorry if this has already been posted before. My IS200 is the standard spec with sat nav (no amp) anyway the headunit im guessing powers the sat nav, my head unit makes 3 beeps then powers off and all the sat nav keeps reading is "check CD-ROM" when i put the cd for the sat nav in it loads up goes through the instal set up then goes back to "check cd-rom" :tsktsk: at this point the magic 3 beeps come and power off the head unit and sat nav. so now the OEM head unit picked up that annoying Error 3 message.

Just wondering if there is a fault with the HU does that mean that there will be a fault with the Sat nav?

And has anyone had this problem the "check cd rom" thing???

i really wont the navigation to work.
