Hi guys, Well I picked my Lexus up on Friday and have clocked up a few miles so far what with dashing up to the parents to see them at the weekend etc.... all without my beloved SatNav installed. So called into Dashmount.co.uk and picked up a phone bracket to mount the PDA on as I already had a powered tilt and swivel holder from my install in the last car so the PDA is in and powered after a fashion.... Trouble is, I have had to wire the PDA holder into a cig plug for now, so I idealy need to locate a ACC +12V so I can make the installation a bit neater and free up the cig lighter socket. So what choices do I have? To get to the back of the cigar lighter socket looks to be a bit of a nightmare (it's an Auto I have btw)... However the panel with the seat switches and the traction control switch comes out easily and is within easy reach of the PDA holder. So the I guess the question is if there is a switched (ACC) live in that loom prehaps? (the current required for the holder is not a huge amount - I guess a few hundred millliamps) Oh - the other issue I have is that I dont want to go drilling (visable) holes anywhere, so another reason to use the bottom switch holder as I can stick a hole in at the rear which can not be seen. Any ideas ?? Now with added picture....

I would have liked to meet with you guys as I just picked up my new Lexus on Friday, but I gotta drive back home to London (from Boro) this Sunday and still got a list my arm long of rels I gota visit before I set off, so a 11AM start is a no go :( I must get round to catching up with some fellow Lexus owners soon though ;)

Well, went for a test drive, came away with a new IS200SE, pick her up on Friday Morning ! Can't wait

Smashing ... Thanks guys... test drive booked for 2PM, so that will be the deciding factor :)

Hi Guys..... Well it's that time of my car's life to trade it for a new machine, and I have had my eyes on a IS200 since I bought my current car (I got a discount of 4.5K at the time which made it way more competative than the Lexus)... I am after somthing a little slower with cruse so I can avoid gettting point on the old licence!.... :) I also want a bit more refinement in my life :) Anyway, I have searched hard and low for details on what alarm and imobiliser are supplied with the IS's... the only thing I can find is a refernece to an optional tracker unit on the lexus website.... The current car (2.0L Megane) has a CAT1 imob and alarm factory fitted, so I would assume this to be the same with the Lexus... can anyone confirm ?? I am going to book in for a test drive tomorrow hopefully, as the drive will be the deciding factor (still not sure about trading down in power)....... TIA... Jason
