Hi everyone,

I just bought a 2002 IS300 yesterday. Previously I had a '97' ES300 that I drove for 5 years. Anyways, I had a few questions about some problems I've had so far.

1.) My car came with one key...no spare, no clicker. I'm thinking it is a valet key too, because it wont go all the way into the trunk, so the only way into the trunk is the lever on the driver's side. Also, I have a few old clickers from my ES300 and I wasn't sure if I could program one to work on my IS. If not, where could I get one "cheap"?

2.) Radio/Tape works great, but when I push LOAD on the CD player it flashes "Wait CD 1" for about 15 seconds and then goes back to saying whatever it did first (radio station). So, it never actually lets me load the CD. Is it broken? Is there something I'm not doing right? What is the damage to get this fixed (ack!)?

Thank you SOOOOO much for any help you guys can give! I only come here for info because I learn so much more!

Welcome to the IS board. It sounds like that is the valet key, especially if the remote isn't on it. I'm pretty sure the key on all of the IS's has the remote built in. You will probably have to see a dealer about getting some made (and they aren't cheap...around a hundred bucks+ each, I think).

The CD player sounds like you have the one problem those get is the CD mechanism gets stuck sometimes, but usually comes up with an error code. It may have to be replaced, although some of the people here have been able to take the unit apart and get it unjammed.

Good luck and let us know what happens.
