Rav you were spot on. I think lexus must have had it out as one of the 10mm bolts had been dropped and replaced by a different one. When they had it out they must have plugged the input in the wrong port. Swapped them over and it works a treat now. Superb, thanks for the help!

Thanks for the input BosniaLexus. I did call into lexus but he just tried some pretty obvious things in the menu. Im going to try Ravs input swap when i get the chance. Im not sure how that helps me Steve-L. Even if im not to use it much it is more the fact I dont like having something not working on the car.

Just bought a 220d and im 24. We are bringing that average age down!

I have a similar problem on the IS. I have tried the halfords spray but to no avail. I guess it needs a whole air con service.

Wowsers. Nicest colour combo ive seen for the IS-F. Just out of interest where abouts in east sussex are you?

Cheers Rav I meant the white silver wire. I did exactly as guides say just couldnt remember colour off top of my head. It has worked for phone etc so I know thats okay. Ive done a return to default on dvd menu but to no avail. The outputs on the dvd screen sound interesting. I didnt look at them when i had it out. Is it work me talking it out again? Where abouts would I look...down the bottom where the dvds are loaded? I remember a large chunk of black cables down there. I could hope that it had been replaced in the past and they just plugged it in the wrong output. Thanks again Adam

Thanks for the replies. Whs it now doesnt matter if the parking brake is applied as ive grounded the red wire. Rav I have also connected the pink and grey and silver wire. I can now use the phone but it hasnt helped the dvd. I have tried a U.S dvd and it came up with region error so my other discs are fine. Also tried the audio then picture selection....it just flicks to a different shade of black :-( !? Cheers

Mine make a bit of a ratchet noise. Should I be worried? Will they fail or is it just a case of annoying noise? Its out of warranty by the way. Cheers

Alright guys Ive been reading up on 220d here for a while. Despite the mixed reviews I have gone ahead and got an 06 se-l. Pic below Im happy with it so far. I can understand some on the complaints but none of them outweigh the refinement and toys compared to my old car. The only problem at the moment is I have no picture when I play DVDs. I get sound of the dvd but the screen is just a light black. The screen works fine all other times. Today I did the dvd hack, earthed the red wire and checked the wires. The dvd now plays while moving but still with no sound?? Does anyone have any ideas? Its the only thing not working so its really annoying. Its out or warranty so cant go to the dealer. Oh one last thing. The wheels are corroding like normal. If you get the standard rims refurbed does that stop the corrosion or does it carry on? Thanks for the help Adam
