Do you get an error code on screen? Top loading units don't really go wrong like the bottom loaders.

I dunno, I think they do, just perhaps not as often and they're easier to fix ?

My car is a late 2000 model- I guess my car was probably one of the first ones that had the top loading units fitted?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Mods:...WIM geometry setup & fine tune, K&N Air filter, Stainless steel A/C rings, Brodit phone kit, Stainless steel clock surround, B&M Shortshifter & LED Domelight, Maplight & Sun Visors, OEM Chrome exhaust tip, OEM rubber bootliner, Fan type windscreen washer jets, LS430 Side repeaters, OEM LE grille, OEM cargo net, Front OEM armrest
My top loader packed up (ERR3) whilst under warranty. As mentioned, Lexus replaced my unit as my car was still under warranty at the time.

Sorry mate, I was actually asking the OP if he himself got an error code, not if they did in general :tongue_smilie:
Reason being that I had mine replaced when it was still under warranty as I was getting an intermittent ERR1 code come up on mine.

The Black units are best ones to have.

DJ Wozza The only thing you need to check for is the small number by the cassette slot.
13901-13906 etc
So long as these match you will be ok wether you have a Sat-Nav or not.
My OE Head unit went into a Navigator no worries (PCIronmike's IS200), but please be aware eventually the OE Head Unit will pack up.
Mine lasted in Paul's car about 9 months I think, then it packed up. It was fine in my car & his then one day the CD part just died.
It is so annoying...seems like the most common lexus is200 electrics fault :cursing:... i wouldnt mind getting an aftermarket but i like the OEM look...but if i get the aftermarket i would probably get some sort of fancy dvd screen unit

20-08-2016, 01:30 AM #28It is a very common problem on the IS200, yes. Having said that, the IS200 has very few faults, and it's an easy one to get around with an aftermarket unit ! But if you still want the total OEM look you still have an option there.

You'll be able to keep the OEM look.

To the OP: Do you have an ipod? If so, then why not buy a GROM ipod kit that allows you to connect your ipod to the OEM headunit.
