Hi,

Sorry for my advert re stereo!Am new to club and didn't realise!I have two stereos both out of non satnav versions off the is200 sport, one being an 86120-53040(out of a 99plate) and a 86120-53090(out of a 02plate) I also have a microfishe(please excuse spelling if wrong?)map diagram!I can asure you that on the early version(99plate)connector used is the right sided one and on the latest model(02plate)That the left connector is used, thus leaving the other connector on both units unused!Microfishe also supports this!

As for loom converter, iam seeking further assistance from dealer/supply agent.Please leave with me!!

Thanks and sorry again about before!!! Regards Neal....

Hi Guys

Thanks for your help, i apologise for ignorance, but sadly i am not very electrically mided, will neals's 99 radio work in my 99 lexus is200 navigator? If it will i will be very interested in taking that off your hands....

Thanks guys

Ashok

Thanks for all your help guys!

Looks like i will keep hunting eBay for a older stereo, they are quite rare though!!

Just out of interest, does anyone know how much the dealer may charge to repair the unit, and would they give any concession as this is a known problem with the stereo unit. I have heard some people get some joy through the lexus cutomer service line, but i am not sure if this will help as my car is out of warranty....

i think you will find is that the older models had two connectors on them and the newer ones only the one..

Thanks for your quick reply Fargo

Do you know if there is anyway around this or is this newer unit incompatible with my car

Hi

My stereo has had the dreaded err3 message appear and it is sadly out of warranty now ( its a 99 model is200). I have seen a stereo on eBay which has the cd loading at the top of the unit (its from a '51 model, but my current one loads from the bottom. Will this stereo work in my car? The auction ends in about 10 hours so any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has a old original is200 stereo they are selling i would be interested as well, thanks

P.S i have tried the usual tricks ( taking the fuses out and giving it a wack but no luck)... does anyone know how much the dealer is likely to charge to get this fixed, is it worth paying around £300 for a stereo on eBay or would it be cheaper for the dealer to repair it, thanks for your help!

Hi Guys

Thanks for the replies, sorry for late response just got back form holiday... Il will try to fix it tonight.

thanks Colin,

i think the dealer will be out of the question, i will probably just get stung on the price, does anyone know if its a tough job to get at the strip, and how it could be done? i tried fiddling around with it last night but couldnt access the back of the screen!

Thanks

Ashok

Hi

I have recently bought a T reg IS200 and have a problem with my sat nav screen. Its the same problem that Dario had where the screen keeps changing colour to red green yellow black and white. On altering the tilt it sometimes fixes itself. After reading the comments on his message I think i may have a problem with the mylar strip. Does anyone know how I can get to this strip and how to open up the screen if this is needed? Will I have to take this to a dealer to fix it? Any help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks

Ashok
