NOW THAT'S INTERESTING! So if you have this.... how do we get it also?

I use the SC for long and short runs... and although I hear that it is able to reach the 30 MPG... I have NEVER seen it past 21MPG even driving at a constant 75-80 for 200 miles. My avarage is around 17-18

Well mine is going in to have it fixed... they tell me it’s a fault and Lexus know off it and can easily sort it. Mine's a 2001 model with the original suspension and run flats, but these just give a 'not so good' ride quality and not a click / clunk like the other fault. They are also changing the suspension / wheels while there. PS - The Lexus wheels can and do corrode, they will replace with new alloys FOC!!! (I have three Lexus’s in the company IS / RX / SC and ALL three have just had the wheels replaced FOC due to the corrosion)

Hmmm... can’t see why they would sync all three. then again, I can’t see why they would use a different Hz... maybe because they can I guess. I know the feeling re a million projects, and I disappointed that the screen is not a standard Panasonic or similar as this would have made life a lot easier... I guess we could make a shifter / PIC etc. but the truth.. is will we? I doubt it, I'll just get engrossed in something else along the way :( Thank very much for your reply and if i do strip the thing or get any info, then I'll pass it on.

Hi all…. New to this forum so thought I would shay “Hello” and join in. I have (SC430 from new 2001… oh and wife now has my RX300.. you have to have a family car somewhere :) I have had a good few ‘quality’ issues with both of them, but they are being looked at slowly and although these where enough for me to lose a little faith in the RX, the SC is way too good a car to care about a few issues :) What I am looking to do with my SC is work out how the hell to use the sat nav screen as a general screen i.e. dvd, pda etc. (already put screens in the headrests of the RX). So thought I would ask the collective brain power of UK SC owners for any advice, help etc. From what I can tell the sat nav unit is manufactured by Denso - anyone know if this is correct??? Does any one know the make / model of the actually LCD screen? I don’t want to take it apart if I can help it, but knowing the make / model would maybe let me track out the signal layout before stripping it. Does any one know of an ‘off the shelf’ composite to RGB converter? Oh well…. Any comments would be welcomed (well, not actually ‘any’ comment, but pretty much ‘most’ comments)
