ive an is200 2001..i bought it to sell on tbh but slowly and surely im falling in love with it...its so comfortable and the gear box is so sweet..not to mention the beautiful sound from the engine compartment...i find her terrible around town mpg wise..however on a decent journey shes excellent..i done what i call a pump test..filled her up to the scut done 160 miles of various types of driving and filled her up to the scut again..she returned a healthy 33 mpg which im happy with. Compared to my previous car a 1998 1.6 avensis 4afe which i restored myself she returned over 40 mpg so any car compared to this i feel will fail miserably..like everything else you pay for your comfort :)

hi Del whats the code on front of unit you need? Far as i know there are several different types..i have a head unit the code on it is 13903..ive still to find an IS to fit her into to see if it works! The guy at the breakers swears it came out of a 01 model and is working but i dont know..i bought it before id read up on LOC..silly me 100 euro down the swanney :(

thxs for replies guys..i checked behind glove box and no amp..i got another head unit but rear plugs are different..the code on it is 13903..my mate has a 99 is200 sport so we tried it on his car but different units..i was mad to see if the s/hand head unit was working or not. The code on my head unit is 13904. I tried a few breakers today but no joy :(
