Not really possible without major software & wiring mods. The GPS antenna is about the only thing in common between the two systems. Software protocols are entirely different which is only the start of the problem as I don't know of a unit that has any form of video/picture output. So you have a product without an input and one without an output......not a good start!

My SE-L is 10 months old and the calipers are covered in surface rust, doesn't look good, but apparently that's what to expect. I asked if this was how they should look after only 9k miles and was told it was and they didn't consider it a fault! That's ok then!

I suffer from the same problem with an 8 month old RX300SEL and a V3.....doesn't happen all the time, but usually cuts the signal within the first 10 seconds, if you pass that period the call goes ahead as normal. Never had a problem with a Nokia 6230, so I assume that it is a random compatability problem with V3's as I have pretty much everything apart from bluetooth switched off on the phone including the voice activation function. Would be very interested also, if somebody has a fix!

Got both camera and PDC........the camera is wonderful during the day, but less use in the dark. PDC cost £250 fitted and I have no doubt saved me double that amount in avoiding walls and posts.

Have a look at the first review in Autocar published yesterday.........it makes very interesting and complimentary reading about the 400!

I need some advice! Looking forward to collecting a new IS200 and will be getting an Origin B2 GATSO/GPS system but have been advised that the antenna has be fitted under the rear parcel shelf as the front windscreen will reflect the signal, with the obvious consequence that the unit won't be very effective. Does this apply to the rear screen as well? Can someone confirm if it can be placed on/under the dashboard or if it has to be by the rear parcel shelf? Many thanks. RAD. java script:emoticon('')

There really is no need to change your phone if you just borrow somebody's Sony (which seems to work well) bluetooth phone to install the memory using your sim card. You will have to make sure that all your contacts are on the card and have been copied from the phone memory. Once the memory transfer is complete (which only takes a couple of minutes) your Nokia will work without a problem. It seems that only Nokia and Motorola suffer from the "one contact at a time" problem, however don't rely on other makes working without trying them first. Best of luck.

Neither Nokia or Motorola work well with a total memory dump. As you have experienced they will only do one number at a time, however if you can borrow any LG, Samsung or especially Sony bluetooth enabled phone, they are able to transfer your complete memory in one go. Once you have done that you can then go back to your 6230i. You will find that the general memory will not work when the car is moving - which is a regretable feature, but the one touch feature is still active. Good luck!

I'm considering buying a new 200, but with the new model coming out, are there any "amazing" deals or would it be crazy not to wait for the new one?

I've had the same problem, same colour interior and bought the black mats.......they look great and contrast nicely. They cost about the same as a meal for 4 at Claridges, but last slightly longer. Enjoy car and stop looking at the dirt!

The Sat Nav is wonderful and the camera an excellent edition, but don't shell out £500 for PDC. The most you should pay for an "X Vision" kit fitted is £250. But will you need one if you have the camera?

Obviously, its daft to accept a Bluetooth invitation unless s*x is involved, however with the current Nokia and Lexus RX incar systems, they rely on bluetooth to work. Unless you want to switch it off each time you leave the car and back on when you get in, it makes sense to have it active all the time. Now which pub were we talking about?
