AS200 then. Technically exactly the same as an IS200. Both types of Altezza (RS200 is the 4 pot one) use BEAMS engines, as does the IS200 - it just means the head & ECU were designed by Yamaha. Most Toyota engines are!

its odd they chose a 4 cylinder one to tweak, I would have thought the 6 cylinders would have more scope for squeezing extra horses out.

You could try putting a European satnav disc in the "ecu"?

It's worth a try?

yeah that was my first thought. There is a site that offers new disks but you have to first choose which generation nav you have, then the code on the current CD.

with not having a nav remote I cant get to the menu to determine which generation I have. A bit of googling says 2002 plus IS200's come with generation 2 navigation, but aquiring a generation 2 disk is proving tricky. have tried a generation 1 disk but that gives this error [Image: Wy-DIQnt3Mu2WrRJ8v9U2cE6ROi2NESRBcqlkPQl...directlink]
with google translate I can get '11 dragon earth click' which might not be the actual message Tongue It is different to the no disk image so im assuming that generation 1 disks dont work!!

Gen 1 were CDs I think gen 2 were DVD based?

if it had a 1j instead of a friggin 1gfe that would be correct. Instead we got the spares bin from the late 80s.

The disk that is currently in it is a CD-Rom, it could be possible that its a CD only drive and my mystery message is saying 'cannot read disk'

You could try replacing the whole sat nav ECU for an EU one?

I'm just thinking out loud mind so I don't know if it would work!
