Noise when running on electric motor
Don C replied to Roger Bill's topic in Lexus UX200, UX250, UX250h, UX300e Club
You can visit the Lexus factory - it’s free. There is a way of silencing the noise generator - gaffer tape is involved 😉 -
A lot of the 'delay' might just be typical combustion engine stuff though. The engine still has to rev up to put the power down and as the engine is likely sitting at a low RPM due to the nature of CVTs, it'll need to traverse the rev range before it gets to peak power. Whereas a traditional auto or a manual, it'll drop a gear or two and drop it right in the power band. I find the biggest issue is that if you gun it and come off the throttle very quickly. (I.E you've misjudged pulling out on a roundabout but there's also a car ahead), there's a delay in response because it's still being driven at those higher revs and you don't have any engine braking to help drop those revs. That might be a quirk of automatics in general though rather than just a ECVT thing Judging by your profile, you already made a choice... But the answer could be useful to someone else who comes across this. Top keep my post relevant to the topic: I believe it was via Google, searching for common issues with the IS... I think it's safe to say how my research panned out.

UX250H Sport Design Speed Camera Warnings

In CarPlay, they only show up when a destination is set. Try that. -
Stats on NX 450h+ Predicted EV Range
Hayzee replied to Harrier Man's topic in Lexus NX300h / NX200t / NX350h / NX450h Club
I believe that the reason the PHEV has a large 30% reserve for the traction battery is because the PHEV has a total power output of 302 BHP created from the engine and an electric motor on each axle. When you floor the accelerator etc this demands full or nearly full power output, which means the traction battery will be able to provide the necessary power to the motors even if you have zero EV miles available. If you drive the car very hard with just the 30% reserve it is possible to see the reserve drop below 30% if the engine hasn't been able to maintain it because of driver demand. However, the car is clever enough not to let the driver deplete this reserve by too much by limiting BHP regardless of how heavy footed you are. -
Question: why can't the Forum filter out scam e mails which quote a genuine thread title and are sent to members who either created the Post or contributed to the post thereby being included in the e mail going to members e mail addresses when clearly the content to the Post via the Lexus Forum is actually offering fake documents and fake currency for cash. I accept the internet is the conduit for scammers to gain access to members but of late this seems to be more and more common even though deletion is the obvious fix. Do Moderators and Forum Staff not see these scam e mails? I deleted 6 today all with different thread titles that were all originally a legitimate post and ones I contributed to at some point. Now I just delete all Forum e mails and sign in to read the latest posts.

Thanks for keeping us updated. My problem hasn't been resolved and I am sick of them saying "its an Apple " issue. No- it isn't- because my previous car, which wasn't a Lexus, WhatsApp worked absolutely fine. At least your technicians are trying to do something about it. My local dealership is useless - I think I understand more about the problem than they do. Also I am not sure what they are saying about the pre-August software malarky as I have had my car two years and WhatsApp has never worked properly, becoming even worse when I upgraded my phone. I have wasted countless hours trying to get WhatsApp to working the car and still not much further on. I have found, however, by my own deliberations, if I ignore Siri when I see I have a WhatsApp message and just press "receive messages" on my screen Siri will actually have a stab and telling me what they are, but if I try to reply, it is a complete waste of time. I shall await your further news with interest.

Having been away for two weeks and catching up with things I came across this potential group claim against Lexus / Toyota. ( I don't think it has been previously reported ) https://www.leighday.co.uk/news/news/2024-news/toyota-and-lexus-owners-could-be-owed-compensation-as-some-keyless-vehicles-found-to-be-vulnerable-to-a-device-which-allows-them-to-be-stolen-in-minutes/ Having bought new, and owned, my NX300h since 2018, I have become increasing worried for some time now about CANBUS thefts and Lexus's failure to take action to prevent such thefts. Anyway, throwing this article open to the forum.

Wheel covers
DavidCM replied to Joolsd's topic in Lexus IS 250 / Lexus IS 250C Club / Lexus IS 220D & IS 200D Club
He might be misdescribing the wheel centre caps. -
Yes l feel stupid now as well. I can see the error of my ways for believing the dealer when they told me they had a plate for the ES.

Severe damage to my UX tailgate after rear shunt necessitated a replacement rear view camera. Four weeks in local body shop with faultless repair carried out with the exception of the new camera failing to display the yellow/blue guide lines. Subcontractors used by repair shop, who do all their techie work, attempted on three occasions to resolve and failed every time and on 2nd attempt drained my 12 volt battery decided on a fourth attempt because the specialist tools were not available to them. Very frustrated I decided to take the matter into my own hands, did a Youtube search on “Disappearing guide lines rear view camera” and found a 3.5 minute video on the subject showing a 2019 Lexus ES with identical tracker pad etc as my UX (l also contacted Lexus dealership who quoted £150 to resolve) I followed the Youtube instructions and got it working within 5 minutes. I mention this because others my find the procedure helpful this would appear to be a “backdoor” approach to gain access to the menus structure should they need to anytime. It’s unbelievably simple to gain access. Process…Start the engine and whilst HOLDING down the MENU button next to tracker turn ON/OFF parking/headlights toggle 3 times (video says 4 times but 3 times aslo worked) Use service menu at your own risk.

Stolen NX found and recovered, what now?
LadyToeBeans replied to LadyToeBeans's topic in Lexus General Discussions
I hadn't thought of that, thank you. -
If it does... hopefully the access is below the water line!

I prefer Goodyear Eagles F1 Asymmetric's on my higher performing Cars. But am very happy with the New Yoko's I had fitted to the CT, after the rubbish the PO had put on them. I will stay with the Yoko's for this car. Slightly softer ride with the firm riding CT than a more sport performing tyre I should imagine.

Sounds like me growing up in the Dales with the T shirt. Any time of year just the T shirt. I don't know if its more than just a theory of mine, but I always had the feeling that if you grew up acclimatised to cold you might just get sort of used to it a bit more than people who swaddled in layers against it. There again until 3 years ago i used to walk around in shorts in Winter (local legend apparently), but my hands used to go blue and numb. Was told that's the blood supply issue with not keeping your body temp up. Started wearing trousers like other people on this planet and my hands stopped going blue so science apparently works.

Do we have to have the App?
Don C replied to BigbigT's topic in Lexus UX200, UX250, UX250h, UX300e Club
Yes you can remove it but you lose the benefit of having it. You can see the fuel and you can set the air conditioning to warm up or cool down the interior. It will warn you of its location including if it gets stolen. Mine even sent a message to say one of the rear windows wasn’t closed when the wife was shopping and when she went to look she realised she must have caught the switch when leaving the car. It was open a tiny bit and it warned us. Having said all that, mine was a pain at first and never connected properly despite me trying all sorts of things off this forum but I went to the dealer and they got one of their techy geeks (not a mechanic, an IT sort) to connect it and it’s been perfect since. I can 100% assure you, if it isn’t working it is because it isn’t connected properly. -
Hi Lambo, As it happens, Toyota and Lexus are the same company as far as software/hardware is concerned. Lexus accept it's a problem with the company Toyota outsourced the system to and they have taken a load of diagnostic readings and filmed the error happening on a number of cars and sent them off to Japan for the engineers to look at.
