Lexus plays 'Spot The Difference' on London Streets

Lexus, however, has chosen to recreate shots of its flagship LC 500 coupe exactly as the car can be found in the latest version of the driving simulation game Gran Turismo Sport With gameplay graphics becoming ever more lifelike, Lexus decided to test the theory that in-game imagery could be mistaken for a real-life photograph and, in a process that started

Change Head Unit for 3rd party unit
Hi, I'm interested in replacing the original head unit in my CT200h with one that has additional features, such as navigation, touch screen, able to use reversing camera, Android Car Play, better phone integration etc. I have found this model online which the company claims is compatible, and is also available for a right hand drive model. https://www.dvdgpsnav.com/lexus-ct200h-dvd-player-lexus-ct200h-navigation-gps-dvd-radio-head-unit.html Has anyone bought this unit, and can te
Battery problemsand advice
Left the car for over 4 weeks (yes I know, I did it last year too) over Christmas. Went out to check the Battery today and it was so flat even the central locking would not work. Got in on the key and nothing on the panel lights. Hooked up my trickle charger and it would not charge. After a while it shows a bit of action. I'll leave it on for 24 hours (26 amps maybe) and see what happens. The Battery is a 072 type Numark with 70 ah and 600 SAE amps. It is nearly 4 years old and has been gre
Factory headunit parasitic drain?
Hello all, new user here. I have a Battery drain on an '03 IS200. I have run a parasitic test and concluded that the headunit was drawing a lot even with the key out of the ignition. Couple this with the fact that I can switch the stereo on without the key and that it doesn't turn off automatically when removing the key, I clearly know I have a problem. The clock on the dash also remains backlit at all times. I have removed the fuse for the headunit and I can now s

There is presently no solution to prevent this vibration, however, Lexus are in development to create on
Power Back Door (Tailgate) not working on 2010 (Series 3) RX450h
Can anyone help or advise me on a fault that’s developed with the Power Back Door (PBD) on my Lexus RX450h 2010 model. A brief background behind the issue……..The car had not been used for over a month, and the auxiliary 12V Battery in the luggage compartment had become flat. I discovered this when I went to open the Power Back Door (PBD), using the remote fob (holding the boot release button for 2.5 secs), it made the usual audible sound but failed to open due to the low Battery condition.
