1999 Lexus IS200 Alarm Wiring Diagram

Also, anyone have wiring information for factory arm/disarm?

Fair enough, I just seem to remember that UK built Focus, Jaguar, Range Rovers are far cheaper in the US than here but we are taxed to the hilt, + gasoline at $10 per gallon, no wonder they sold very few IS 300 in Europe. It might come as no shock to you but the biggest seller of the current shape is the diesel. You are right in what else you said, when new they came in at the same price as an E46 320. BMW sell more 3 Series in the UK than the Ford Mondeo/Edge, they have an unbeatable and not undeserved reputation in the UK and most of Europe. They must have sold the original IS cheaper in Germany to chip away at BMW.

I doubt if there's a factory alarm on the Euro versions, never found one but if there was it will be a cigarette pack sized box, black with a white plug with a riveted shield, adjacent to the glovebox.

Thanks for the tips. For some strange reason the IS-300 wasn't offered on the mainland in a stick, Auto only. I think that probably had more to do with the IS's failure in Europe rather than the gas mileage. Lets be honest, if one's primary concern was gas mileage, one would look first at a 318d in this price bracket. I find car prices in Europe surprisingly cheap. There is a show here in the states, based out of the UK about some guy who buys used cars, does some cheap fixes on them, and then resells them at a profit. The prices he pays for these things, even with the exchange rate factored in, we here in the states can't even come close to. He bought a 2001 Saab 9-3 convertible for like 2300L. Same car here in the states is $7k+. Complete insanity.    Shoot, Clarkson May & Hammond figured it out the hard way a few years back that used cars, even excessively crappy ones here in the states are quite expensive. I'm moving to Germany this summer for a study abroad, and have never really considered a Lexus, but based on what this guy has said, and the 10 minutes of research I've done on the subject, it seems to be a pretty solid choice. When y'all getting Smart Starts in Euro-land? I figured with Europe's extensive GSM network, and cold weather, y'all would have had it before us.

Obviously our last posts crossed each other, look at what I posted ref. the alarm. The magic words are unlock and keysense. If I'm not mistaken grounding the key sense during the R/S procedure, via the GWR wire will disable the factory alarm.

I've been playing with Smart start for two years, R/S apart from Russia never took off in Europe. Also iphone and the Android family, my daughter and her boyfriend have Galaxy IIs I have a Sensation and my best pal and his family have iphone 4s and ipad IIs Having said that too many Nokoffs and Crackberries in Europe, still like a Saab probably worth keeping because there won't be any more. 2nd hand Saabs have had no value because they are effectively Vauxhall/Opel Vectras a car the the Ford Mondeo completely overwhelmed. They will pay you to take a Vectra away. Even the newer (last) Saab is a Vauxhall Insignia a.k.a Buick Regal! In the UK which is the most advanced audio and convenience market outside the US, we are on the same heading as Alberta (51deg. N) yet it has only reached 0c. once this year

So what is the deal. DEI tells me it is only available in the States. What you're telling me is that it WILL work in Europe? (crosses fingers?)

Go to armourauto.com in the UK, page 503/4 and then realise you are looking at the 2011 catalogue, so this has now been available in the UK for 18months. Stop press, not even on the UK trade price list, probably special order only. Unless the US version has quad band, a US version won't work in Europe. You do know that 2G and 3G are on different frequencies in Europe to the US? And is the US version GSM or CDMA?
