Hi,
I got RX300 (1st generation) from US.
I got few problems/questions that I hope you will be able to help me with.
Car is in mint condition, with only 80000 miles on the clock and I like it a lot.
But there are small issues because car is from US market
1. Automatic lights:
Car has DLR and switch to turn on headlight automatically. Unfortunately after the engine is switched off it takes ages for lights to turn off. Because I live in block of flts I dont'really need such long period.
How can I change this time (if it is possible)?
2. Unit system.
Because car is from US temperature is displayed in F not C and economy is measured in mpg not l/km.
I would love to be able to change US system to metric system. Can this be done? What would be the cheapest, safest and easiest way...
3. Radio unit. Againcar is from US and radio FM frequencies does not match EU system. We move up and down on scale every 100Khz so we get stations broadcasting at 93.0; 91.2; 94.4.
etc...
In US radio goes up and down 200Khz so unit can be tuned only to.. 89,9l 91,1; 91,3, etc... If station broadcasts at 91,2 it can not be set.
Can this be detuned/changed?
Other solution would be to find used radio from EU market - but I got problem locating one.
My radio does not have sat-nav built in... and all the ones I have found so far in EU do come with GPS (no buttons under the screen).
So far I found on from UK market that was exactly like my one (just big round knobs were on opposite sides of the unit) but by the time I got to my PC to buy it it was gone.
Can you help me locate such unit???
Best regards,
galtom
Ps. In attachment UK radio I would love to find and get.
