Curious to see which would be faster. I got bored waiting for a SC for my IS200 so bought an IS300. Night and day in comparison, just love the 300 but if the 200 had a super charger producing roughly the same bhp as the 300 wich would win?

Timpsons in Barrow cut my blank for £5, needed to insert key a few times for it to 'work in' but now works fine, programmed the key as well :)

cheers sprinter that worked a treat m8

Whats the correct wiring scheme for connecting a hid kit up to dipped beam. I bought the hids from hids4less and the connetion instructions are a bit crap, could someone possibly draw a correct diagram that works. I have tried both connectors into the bulb connector but dont get any light on cheers

hi guys, I have the service manual for download, unfortunately it isn't really in order. I have made various Folders with hopefully the relevant pdf's inside but I thought I may as well share this incase you don't have the net to download in the times that you need it:) http://www.mediafire.com/?7bft8c60z8rh3ap its 136MB by the way

I find over 6 playlists to be very hit and miss I set mine up as follows Playlist 1 contains 1 song (this sets up the grom to allow the cdplayer to control the ipod Playlists 2 to 6 contain the album or any number of albums that I wish to play Sometimes the time displayed for track length is screwed up or doesn't even count Since you can't use the stereo to jump songs if you have say 100 songs in 1 playlist it will take ages to get to it Apart from that it does what it says, and if you don't have an ipod it has auxillary out for an mp3 player, this obviously won't include devices like sdcard usb readers, only devices capable of sending audio via a 3.5MM headphone jack

well that cleared that one up :)

why is the heater guage at the top ? Mine is below and MPG is at the top

Today had both replaced at a cost of £159.60 then had full geometry set up at an affiliate of WIM for £94 AND need 2 new rear tyres, bl=bulge, br=nail :( nice earner for the garages today lol

Turn off trc and click the snow button.99 times out of a 100 this stops it

I will try with my sons ipod touch which has os 4.0.1 and get back to you since I use an ipod classic which works ok

I may be trying to teach yer to suck eggs but I would delete your itunes playlists and then redo them making sure of the following 1) Don't make more than 10 playlists (including playlist 1 - this is used for setting up the playlists properly) 2) Use short names for playlists in case of problems (shouldn't really be any since the ipod/phone will have done all converting and only thing is the sound output going to the grom) 3) Playlist 1 should only contain 1 track, any sized track it doesn't matter 4) If you disconnect your ipod/phone when leaving the car, make sure you stop it first, pause the music, turn off the car stereo in that order. When re-connecting use the reverse 5) try and make sure that playlist 2 is currently playing or paused before you turn the car stereo back on after reconnecting the car, this seems to work better for advanced mode 6) If any of your songs sound low in volume, turn off the stereo whilst the ipod/phone is playing and turn back on, go to any playlist other than 1, should then be ok 7) Check all electrical connections (seems obvious lol) Thats all I can think of at the mo, my ipod 6th gen plays fine, only have problems if I disconnect the player when both units are still on hope this helps, try the above and if you still need help I'll try and help yer out more m8

I received and fitted my grom today and it only took 20 mins, ok I left the lead in the glovebox because of length but I must say for £79.99 + £60 for 2nd hand 80gb Ipod classic that it is probably the cheapest way to get a working replacement stereo while keeping the dash looking totally standard

Right, sent an email off to the firm that is selling this cable and their head technician has emailed me back saying it is indeed just a bypass cable, so the wording of the advert is very misleading so I am just gonna get the stereo (found JVC 2 x din for £109, Audio Facia + amp bypass cable cheers for all the help guys :)

cheers E910, i think i will run with this setup and get back to you with the results, hopefully good lol

Now I am confused cause that cable that I mentioned was for using the existing amp and speakers so I don't know why I would need an amp bypass cable ?

Hi Everyone I have the dreaded Error 1 on my IS200 sport so I am going to replace the built in system with a Kenwood 503 (skint at the mo but don't need anything fancy). Now I have looked on a site http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/connects2-ct51lx01-active-system-adaptor-lexus-is200-p-15672.html and they have a cable called CT51-LX01 which allows you to use an aftermarket HU with the built in amp and speakers, is this all I need? Is this the cheapest option? Cheers Andy

Hello all, just bought a 2002 Lexus IS200 Sport in the best colour Graphite lol, anyway, the stereo keeps saying Error 1 ( I have researched and know the problem) so I am going to go aftermarket but on a budget cause i'm now skint lol. So apart from introducing myself can I still use the factory fitted speakers with an aftermarket headunit ? cheers Andy
