Hi all

I am new at this forum stuff and have a question whether any one know's if the standard Aussie spec Lexus GS300 will fit an Aristo 99 V300 model. Any other Victorian Aristo drivers out there ?

Hi Toby,

I have a V300 and I would say yes but if you like drop me a line and we can compare notes.

Hi

Yes i have made sure the that the system is earthed properly its bolted straight to the body with one of the bolts holding the back of the rear seats on and there isno paint there at all.

I also added another earth strap from the battery to the engine and then to the chassis and im still having the same issue. i didnt really think about getting it reco'ed that might be the next step.

Thanks

Could also be a stuffed battery??? It would be easier and cheaper to try another battery if you haven't already done so. Just a thought...

If you intend to change batteries, go for a heavy duty battery. I use the Optima sealed batteries and they are color rated and yellow is the way to go. That is what they use in taxis to cater for all the extra electricals they are running as well as being used in heavily fitted out cars running serious audio. They are not cheap but worth it in my opinion. Not much change from $500 though.

I am looking to retrofit headlamp washers to my GS300 MKII. I need everything from the jets on the bumper, plumbing to the windscreen washer bottle including high presseure motors and relay to activate it. I dont have any on mine at the moment so need the complete running gear. I will take the bumper skin as well if someone is interetsed in selling the lot as a bundle so as not to have to pull it all apart. Let me know by posting a reply or PM me if you can help as I am actively looking. Thanks in advance. Nik

Sat Nav might not work in terms of navigating maybe... but pretty sure the FM could. <_<

Yes FM works but needs a FM Expander to get the right range for Australia. AM works no problem. TV works but its NTSC so visually its of no value. Could possibly get TV to work but pricey and given analog is being phased out, it may be worth looking at interfacing a digital receiver instead.

I have the same car here and from what I have found its not possible to get the NAV SAT to work here in Australia.

Is there anyone that can give advise as to if it is posssible to make the TV a and sat navigation work in Australia. We have imported my Japanese wife's Aristo....with all the extras but to date I can only get the FM to work. This is a one owner car having been purchased new in Chiba in 1998. It has never missed a beat other than the brakes doing some weird things. WE also have an RX330 we purchased 2 years ago.

There could be a plug-in module of some sort but I'm not too sure. Try bringing your car in to the car audio guys and see what they can do for you.
