Glad I could be of service. Pleased to see your happy Nick, any probs give me a shout Daz

Ok mate, let me know how you get on

Nick, don't know if you remember but you posted a message to me some time late last year RE: the sat nav error 'please insert disk , check disk'. Well I had a quote from Lexus Chester, and it came out at £1460... haha, their having a laugh. Anyway, I started investigating how I can fix it myself. You'll be pleased to know I have now fixed it and is working perfectly. All you need to do is go on to Ebay, type in Toyota Nav. This then brings up Toyota Avensis Sat Nav units... For some reason there are lots of them on there. I paif £75 inc postage as a guide. When you get the package. Open the outside case and to your surprise you will see a cd drive which is exactly the same as the good old Lexus number. It's exactly the same part. Just plug it in and away you go. I know this has been a long awaiting problem for you so hopefully you will now know where you are going. All the best Daz

Thats looking really nice mate. What are you doing with your heated seat and traction control buttons? I was also thinking of removing them and also powering them from the touch screen using Macro's, will be complicated but am gonna have a go. My only problem is my car already has sat nav built in and apparently removing the original head unit will stop the nav from working correctly. I want the original nav to work but want the TFT screen to control the whole car including nav, music, videos etc. Do you have a blueprint of your wiring diagram that you used to connect the P.C to the car? Thanks

Evening all, Does anyone know of anyone who has completed a car computer project in a lexus is 200. I am looking at removing the original audio devices i.e. the cd and tape player which is roughly 7" wide by 5" high which is perfect for a lillyput 7" touchscreen monitor. I will then be looking at building an itx controlled pc in the boot. My problem is, will I be able to link up my car puter to the current wiring loom without causing to many probs. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Morning all, I have been readeing numerous replys in the forum regarding this type of error 'open door check cd'. I bought the car from a garage last weekend and it hasn't worked since I got it. Its not a new car so has no warrinty. I have checked with Lexus and they have quoted me £1360 to fix inc VAT (wow). Does anyone have any links to sites that may be able to fix this problem, or does anyone have any contacts?. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
