  1. Thanks. On that shop you can find other models, also for the latest Remote Key model, so I guess that's the only way to find the right case for an acceptable price. Also, I liked these But in the end I went for a model closest to the "glove" style like the original I was looking for.
  2. Not being able to find these damn gloves, I eventually bought something similar from Aliexpress. That's what I received today in my mailbox: If someone else is interested I recommend these gloves/cases, bought for 7€ each. They fit all the remote keys shaped like the CT one, so many other models are compatible.
  3. Hello, I'm desperately looking for a pair of OEM key gloves to fit the remote key of my 2016 CT 200h. Premise: I'm from Italy. Searching through the web I found that there are two types of gloves: - Standard with Lexus logo: - With the "F" logo and blue stitching: Now the problem is that these products are only available on ebay (actually on amazon uk you can find a pair of standard ones but they're way too expensive and they don't ship in my country) mostly sold by Americans Lexus dealerships or accessory sellers. No traces of these gloves in Europe. The price is roughly $10 for a pair of standard gloves o a single F glove, which is nice, but I have to pay $22 for international shipment expenses hopefully included taxes and expenses. Do some of you guys know where to buy these gloves inside Europe? My dealer is not selling this kind of accessories, it's like I can't buy an accessory from who makes both my car and the accessory itself. Thank you in advance for your help.
  4. Thank you Steve. So apparently the problem has fixed itself because i did nothing but going (with ignition ON - Power x 2 times without foot on brakes pedal) in the infotainment home page and then browsing MENU --> CAR --> CUSTOMIZE then I got a message saying "Applying user customizations..." and from that moment the welcome illumination has started again to work properly. However in the customization area there are 3 menus (Air conditioning customization, Door locking customization and Lights customization) but there isn't a specific setting for the "welcome illumination" because the only things that I can modify (at least on my car) in the lights area are the timings for internal illumination, the coming/leaving home timings and the sensitivity of the twilight sensor. So, If you have the same problem as me just go - with ignition ON - in the customization area of the menu, under car settings/manteinance area and let the system do the magic.
  5. This morning I went into my garage and I noticed that the "welcome illumination", basically when you stand near the car with the key in your pocket the interior lights and the lights under the external rear view mirrors softly light up, is not working any more! It's the first time I use the car since it was returned from the service at dealer. Has it to do with some setting in the infotainment/dashboard that I should activate or have I to go back to the dealer and have it to fix this thing? Note: the infotainment firmware has been updated to F version by dealer when the car was there for the service. PS. Car lights are always on AUTO position
  6. G version? My dealer told me the F was the newest update available :megaangry:
  7. It's simple but a few number of people figured out how to do it! Basically you have to keep pushed the brake pedal while you accelerate with your right foot, in that way the petrol engine "wakes up" and revs up (if you don't do this trick you start with the electric engine and after you have the punch of the petrol engine) with the electric engine, then you depress the brake and the car will accelerate faster than usual. ;) As the video prove you can cover the 0-60 in less than 8 seconds, but make sure to have the battery charged for best results
  8. I hope that it can be helpful, even if the automated translation is poor/wrong for some words. :eerrrmm:
  9. Just letting you know that, after the annual check service, my car came back with the F update of the infotainment, currently not downloadable from the customer portal (basically that portal is useless). Since then (only 1 week) I haven't noticed neither any freezing/stuttering issue nor disappearing graphics on the virtual dashboard. I hope this update had fixed once for all the problems!
  10. Personally I always had no doubt that this 300h has an equivalent if not superior acceleration when it comes to regain speed...they said the e-CVT is boring and bad thing, they said... I noticed that in the video you performed the "launch control" for the 0-60, that's a great "hidden" feature that I haven't tried yet. Taking advantage from the "Pick & Delivery" Lexus program I managed to get a brand new NX 300h as substitute car and I saw that the gearbox has even been improved in reactions and speed, also in NORMAL mode the electric engine works better when the ICE is not working: smoother and better acceleration without the need to go in the POWER "red" zone for normal driving, most of the times. Speaking of the NX, I wrote a long review about the NX but...it's in Italian, so if you're interested in reading (maybe you can just take a look at the photo gallery I made) click here for the translated - by Google - original page: https://translate.google.it/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=it&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autopareri.com%2Fforum%2Fprove-e-recensioni-auto%2F69050-lexus-nx-300h-executive-2wd-my2015.html&edit-text=
  11. How to download firmware updates for the media system? The last one (and only) I downloaded from the Owner's website was the update which activated the real time traffic support, like at the end of march if I'm not wrong. At the moment I have almost nothing to complain about, it just works as expected, even vocal instructions, but I only have to report bad sound quality for the bluetooth calls as the person who I'm talking with says that it's difficult to hear me clearly. The incoming call audio is great. Another thing that annoys me a little is the volume increasing/decreasing that have to be operated for at least +/- 10 points in order to hear a clear change in volume power, this is more noticeable with the control on the steering wheel...*CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK* etc..
  12. Is there a trick to avoid the delay/lag when using the audio system as speaker for cellphone bluetooth streaming? When listen to the music or the general audio (notifications, app sounds, ecc..) I can clearly see a delay from the input to the output, this is noticeable in two situations: 1) Skipping song either from the steering wheel/console or directly from the cellphone --> audio starts playing 2-3 seconds from the input (note that the song is playing with no delay on the phone) 2) Using an app such a game --> audio not synchronized I'm using a Nokia Lumia 1020 and the audio for the callings is ok and so is the synching, the only problem affects the music streaming.
  13. Users on spritmonitor are reporting similar consumptions: http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/overview/26-Lexus/1322-IS300h.html?fueltype=2&powerunit=2 6,59 l/100 km ; 42,84 MPG is the average
  14. From the last refueling I measured a consumption of REAL 16 km/l (45,5 MPG) with my F-Sport driving it in a "mixed" way: 60% normal , 40% sport+. Never used ECO mode as I think it works best when driving in huge traffic or when you're in column. The board computer measurement is way too optimistic, like every hybrid car, since it says I have an average fuel consumption of 18,4 km/l (52,3 MPG). Anyways, 16 km/l for a car which weights 1700+ kg is an extraordinary result imho (and I can do better). My other car, a Seat Ibiza SC FR with a 1.2 TSI petrol engine (105 hp) and a weight of 1010 kg, has got an average consumption of 15 km/l!
