where do i download IGO for flyaudio?

IS250AUS

This is exactly what i did. I was aware of the mixed reviews, but i was unaware of any other factory looking units. I took the gamble...

Still, a couple of grand for a unit where something as basic as the radio is not working, is pretty disappointing...

On another note, for the first time i saw another unit on Ebay which is different to mine. It has different plugs, and a brass screw on Nav. antenna. Out of curiosity, is this something new (a different manufacturer), or is it the older Version 1 unit?

You must be referring to the unit this guy bought:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...s-fitment.html

Looks like a new competing product to Flyaudio... I like how it has the newer OEM design with the chrome garnish as well as the "smooth" looking side buttons. Not much information about it or who made it that I know of...

However from what the OP of that thread says there might be a fitment issue with the center vents for pre-'09 models though...

On the one hand I wish that competing unit is totally kick-*** to really stick it to Flyaudio and show them how to make things properly... On the other hand it would mean I spent a lot of cash on the wrong product and I'd regret it deeply... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Hi,

I bought the other system.
I updated the thread with a review after a couple of weeks with it.
IceIridium - Dont worry. the system isnt perfect .

So I will leave it up to each of you to decide what you you get.
The ebay unit (look for is250 navigation) is exactly the one I got I just got it through a friend that deals in automotive parts etc to test.

if you purchase it make sure to inquire about support - version updates etc.

I have seen FA is providing some updates and you have a dealer which can support you which is a BIG plus.

I'll tell you what, now with the newest Bios and now that I have done the radio reception fix I'm totally happy with my FlyAudio unit.

The fact that I have David from carlighttrends.com just a few miles away from me also helps, one good thing about him is that he takes care of his customers and that is hard to find nowadays.

That indeed is a strong selling point!

So did you end up getting Gen 1 or 2?

If Gen 1 I had that same issue with it that was never fixed... But that was only my particular unit that had the issue (that I knew of)...

I currently have the 1st gen. The dealer said he will exchange it with a 2nd gen when he has it in stock.... i hope he keeps his words.

Are the 2nd gen able to charge iphone4s?

I want to give David over at carlightrends.com big props. I just got my second gen flyaudio for my new 06 IS250.

All of them were supposed to charge ipod/iphone, nobody else reported that problem, first or second gen. Until yours, my first gen unit was the only unit that I heard of that didn't charge. So I guess yours has the same defect.

Mine charges my i4, man I sure hope that they exchange it for a second gen. But I wonder what they are going to do with a used unit?

Hey everyone, so I had my updated harness installed today on my 2nd generation unit and now the airbag light is off but the radio won't go past 97.5 and the temperature is in Celsius. Has anyone encountered this or can help me?

I never had this radio problem. You need to make sure radio bands are set for USA. You can go to setup and change the country. Also, make sure you have the latest firmware (FA calls it bios update) installed. The temperature can be changed to Fahrenheit under the TMPS menu.

You can change the radio setting under "setup" and its called "State Radio" as for the temp settings I don't see why the harness would change that, I would contact the place where you got it at.
