Very good mate, look forward to seeing it :thumbup1:

Chri5 i actually have just found 1 m8
just agreed a price and everything seems good apart from the satnav screen dont work cos of the sterio.
but i am guessing that as its jap import then the sat nav would be in japanese anyway???
good news mate:biggrin::thumbup:

all opinions more than welcome but plz keep price to pm as not sure if owner is on here or not.
i like it but i have 2 gripes
1. the back lights (not sure if i like them, or not)
2. can i get the satnav screen to work as a dvd screen or would i need to change the actual screen???

We have other is200 who have after market ice system and there sat nav work so until you can find out why it is not working there not alot you can do.
Rear lights are easy to change...

Was looking at that last night mate, which back lights is it you dont like? is it the clear fogs? as you can get the original red ones quite cheap if you want to swap them over?
One of the members on here called Redz uses his sat nav screen with a dvd player, so sure it can be done?
Tidy motor that mate :thumbup1:

Looks nice and tidy mate
there is a way to make the existing sat nav work without the factory radio
if memory serves its a few diodes/resistors but i may be wrong will have another hunt see if i can find the links failing that if you dont want it for sat nav it can be converted to work as any or all the following
in Car PC
DVD PLayer
Gagues
Front Camera
Rear Camera
Touch screen
the list is endless check out my carage and you can see a few of the choices for the sat nav screen options
does involve changing the screen for most but these is not that hard to do mate, if you change the screen you have more options than just making it work with a DVD unit
Drop me a pm if/once you got the car im sure we can sort something out

Just remembered i've got a sat nav conversion box here somewhere, (Rabsters reminded me with his post?) It plugs into the wiring so the screen works when you change the headunit? Will have to dig that out :thumbup1:

cha ching that may fix your screen problems straight away mate so you could have a fully functioning car in no time lol

Forgot i'd got it mate, its one of Fargo's original boxes that he made :thumbup1:
Just got to find it now, just hope its not in the shed :crying: i'll be in there for months
