As I have previously said, if it bothers you turn it off in settings.u

Someone on here reported having a problem with the Ghost draining battery. They eventually had it removed. There is brand new device thats just come onto market called Shadow. Have a look and see if it fits your requirements. Its by the established tracker company Smartrak Here is the link: https://shadowimmobiliser.com/

If you have opened back doors at some stage it will warn you by beeping to remind you check you have not left something behind on ghe back seat such as your child 😂. it can be turned off in the car settings sections.

This has already been discussed . Have a look at the topic Software update. Basically how it was remedied for me was to reset the media system. You will have to set up radio stations etc again but I now have had no further issues. Takes about ten minutes to input what you lost. Its not as frightening as it sounds 😂

Now all working again

You are not the only one. There is obviously a fault at the Lexus end. Sure it will be rectified.

To alter sound settings turn your radio on. When you have the radio station displayed on screen- On the rights side of the screen you will see 3 dots. Touch them and your sound settings appear and you can set them to suit. hope this helps

Siri ( operating system carvplay)does not work with messenger or whats app.. It will allow you to speak and then send a normal text message to a known recipient in your phone book but not with third party apps like messenger or whats app.

I find the sound quality very good and I have had top quality systems such as Bose in previous vehicles so I can compare. I have adjusted settings such as bass to suit my aged ears and enjoy all music ranging from Classical to Trance. So unless you an avid audiophile I would not worry. Perhaps to satisfy your concerns nip into your local Lexus dealership and have a listen.

Be aware that if fitted after factory this could affect your insurance

I would suggest you read all the shouts on the software update topic re issues after updates.

The scurity lock does nothing to sort the issues caused after update. All that does is enable you to put a password on the system which means without the password you cannot access the unit. You can turn it on and read what it does then cancel it by switching it off again without inputting anything. all data switches should be on and if they not remaining on then a system reboot is required. All saved details e.g. radio stations etc will need to be re-entered after reboot. The media boffin at Lexus Bolton did mine whilst I watched him. Took about 10 mins start to finish because he did have to reset it a couple of times. Everything now works inc. trip info on the Lexus+ app.

System reset causes no problems apart from data in multimedia is lost. For instance favourite radio stations need to be saved again and the link key switch activated for the keyless entry to function. You will also need to relink system to your lexus+ account. Took about 10 mins to input radio stuff and what was required for link up. Hope this is a reassurannce
