Hi, Am looking to buy a DAB tuner box and display for my 2009 GS and would like if possible to hard wire the output from the DAB tuner into the Head Unit (HU) via the FM aerial input (apparently this is termed 'direct inject' as compared to getting the signal via an FM frequency transmission). This means splicing the tuner output cable (Fakra?) into the HU FM aerial input but I don't know/ can't find info on the aerial lead input plug/socket arrangement on the rear of the GS HU. Does the HU have a standard radio aerial iso input, or if not any info on what type of arrangement is used would be a great help? All advice much appreciated Mike

Not noticed this to date but will now keep an ear out and let you know. The car does seem to have a set of unique electric sounds at various points but they all go away on mine.

When I got my GS450h it had one Toyota Dealer stamp in the full service history which a Lexus dealer confirmed was included as part of the car's full Lexus history

n/s box next to suspension top. Purple in colour. pics below I now have the same issue and will start by swapping out the relay. Mike

Thanks Stu for making the day happen. It was good to meet everyone and talk Lexus. Some pics for the record (reg plate obscured where not sure if can be shown) Cheers Mike

All this work is very impressive; I can't compete. Closest I am is the GS is in the bodyshop today and tomorrow to sort out a few touch up attempts on the front bumper (done before I got the car he adds hastily!). Tried and failed to persuade swmbo to bring my SC430 along :( Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday M

Hi, Congratulations on your purchase - great car! The lamp can mean many things. First thing to do is to get the OBD fault code read off - any decent garage will be able to do that for you. Once you know the code then you can find out the fix. My SC430 had the lamp come on recently. Britannia Rescue read the code which was a faulty O2 sensor and I was able to carry on and get it fixed within the week. It's worth you posting your question again in the SC430 specific forum on here. Plenty of knowledgeable advice from owners there.

I was hit for £50 customs duty/VAT; worth it for what the unit gives me. Details of what your model year will get, and file structures etc. are in this link http://www.vaistech.com/manuals/Manual_MML.pdf I too am yet to figure out the workings of the files!

As per Tom, tworks perfectly with ML It's worth checking on the Vais site exactly what you will get for the model year of your car. Link to their table is here: http://www.vaistech.com/manuals/SL3i%20SL3U%20MML%20Application%20Guide.pdf hth

USB stick with partitions is my next move.......the detailed instructions in the VAIS handbook are quite involved! In the meantime just not having to hit that 'I agree' button at start up is a boon..........

Job done, thanks for the help and guidance. Decided to attach the Vais unit to the front face of the cubby box - all working; what a great product.

Hi Carl, am doing my Vais install this weekend. Could I ask did you earth the unit when you fitted the unit into your centre console box? If so was there a earth point nearby you used? Thanks for your help. Mike

Hi, Have you got the front/corner parking sensors switched on (green indicator in lh of instrument cluster)? If yes then each time you get close to a car/bus/lorry on either front corner you will get a series of bleeps untli the obstacle clears the sensor. Same if someone gets close to you. Sensor detects at all speeds with graphic indicator (full screen or small) appearing on centre screen. Happens on my 450h all the time........... hth Mike

New batteries in keyfob sorted eactly this for me..... hth Mike

A bit late maybe but this Lexus epc parts catalogue I find v. useful http://lexus-europe.epc-data.com/

Member Carl has installed a Vais MML from the States and I'm just about to do same. See this thread: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/97912-vais-mml-installed-in-gs450h/

Hi, You should be able to do it..........have a full read of this thread on a USA owners site. The solution seems to be in the timing as explained towards the end http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-third-generation/487011-turning-off-auto-door-lock-and-unlock-2.html hth Mike
