There was one at Lexus Pools open thing knowone see it it was one that had been done by lexus GB not the specil ones coming in form Jap but it gives you an idea there is only a very limited number coming in cant remember but i think it was one per dealer or some thing like that (not 100% on the numbers)
Its a very shady are at the moment with the Iraqu thing some shipper even have to show there passports inorder to ship thing the security is so tight now the USA have what is called a Know shipper register and they would be silly to mess this list up for themselves it hard enough to ship from there as it is.
The amount when you dont pay duties is only about £50 so it would have to be pretty smallfor them not to want to inspect it.
One of my dealers fitted a system to an IS the Guy was up north some where he came to weston for the weekend and stayed in a hotel he got a few days at the seaside as well as a booooooming system.
Take it from me when it comes to car audio you dont want to be looking for the cheapest place and i would not recomend bying it any were were you can go to them
One place to try is car audio direct they are internet based but also have a shop and they are in oxon
Just a thought for you they also have a forum if you want to ask any questions ect
Dont talk to loud it a very serious affence you never know who is reading
You do not have to pay duties for some countrys if the product you are byeing is low production it that country and the they are a lowe growth country or some thing like that
They picked it up wed and droped it back friday but they are 100mile away and they talked me into its first service
Iv been told it's a 8 hour job
The Dunlops, that just me i'v never been a lover of dunlops
Need a race trck to try it out now
I have also taken this up with lexus and they stated that if the items fitted where not directly at fault then your warranty would stand i tried to get them to fax me this but could not get it out of them Merc fax it to me same day?
When we hadan IS i found that if you left the boot closed for a long period it would only open about 1/3 of the way but if you used it a lot it would open about 1/2 way
Even if you have not got a spoiler i would get the better springs just so you can be sure that it opens every time
Drive great feels much better on the road only prob is they put Dunlops on it. :o
But it much better and i recomend anyone who hasent had it done to get.
I cant remeber the problems i had but i was not powering the ignition up i was driving the motors on the mirros direct but in my mind im sure i remember that the pasenger was driven for the driver s or the other way round but if you are just liking on the pules wire and feeding the ignition then you will be ok does you alarm still work doing it this way (ie does it think the key in in the ignition) in not then you shuld be ok.
Chek to make sur the alarm still sounds etc
New Ls end of this year will look more like S class
Oh sorry answer to your question it is your choice the merc looks better but the LS is the better car.
I have one at a very good price if you are intrested 2001/Y premium tints parking sensors one owner 11kmiles very nice car good price
I have tryed this and the driver mirror stopped working within a month and it started playing up one in one out and that sort of thing new mirror was a few bob to.
There was a reason for the problem but i cant remember what it was the left mirror is fed from the right mirror or some thing like that and the control for the mirror is in the right side or some thing it was so long ago i cant remember what it was now.
On the SC the mirrors do not work without the ignition on but they do on the IS am right?
Hope you do it but test it for a long time with hevey use.
After you just want to tell them what Di*k's they are like I nomally I would Im so taken back by the bull that they have come out with that Im not going to start. Di*k's
