ansar 0 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi I have just purchased a RC to replace my IS. One thing I have picked up on already, is that when I touch the back of the door handle to unlock the car, it takes About 4 or 5 seconds before anything happens. On my old IS, as soon as I touched the door handle it would instantly unlock. Any ideas? Can I reprogram it? Any thoughts. Is it right? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ansar 0 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 I only picked the car up from Lexus this Saturday pm. Of course when we picked it up it was unlocked. Phoned the dealer this morning and they tell me both key fob batteries were changed pre delivery and had no idea why it is so slow... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBarber 2,096 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Doesn't sound right. Have you tested this at a different location to rule out any interference that may be causing the issue? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ansar 0 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi, Good point. I have tried it with the car a number of locations over the couple of days and it is the same. I forgot to say that even if I use the unlock button on the fob, it still takes the same amount of time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBarber 2,096 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 If you use the lock/unlock buttons on the drivers door, is that slow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be asking the dealer to rectify it... sooner than later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ansar 0 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hi, going to try to get back to the Dealer tomorrow afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ansar 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 A quick question. Should the alarm chirp once/ twice when locking and unlocking? My car does not. I didn’t get to the dealer today, so will be going over on Friday morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No audible chirp, just indicators flash and the sound of the central locking working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ansar 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Ah thanks. I watched a Lexus YouTube clip and the the car chirped, but I realised it was for the Canadian market and not U.K. so it wasn’t clear whether U.K. cars chirp or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rayaans 2,050 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Might be a weak Battery - our mirrors used to fold out really slow on the IS when the Battery got weak at 6 years. Lexus recharged it to max capacity or whatever, dont know what they did but its been fine since 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise make sure the inside of the door handle is clean, and check/replace the Battery in your key fob and check/replace your 12v Battery in the vehicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ansar 0 Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 I should have said that this issue was as the dealership delivered the car to me. Due to Covid it was a strange hand over and of course the car was unlocked when I received it, and I didn’t think to check, or even expect to have to check that it was working, after all it was meant to have had a pre delivery inspection.

Linas.P 1,352 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 "pre-delivery inspection" is a joke. I was just wondering if you have considered that window has to roll down slightly before you open the door. It is not 5s, but there is like 1s delay compared to IS. I have noticed it on mine, but that is exactly the reason, you unlock the car and there is slight delay before you can open the door (all cars with frameless windows have it). Probably, not the problem either you or cal has, but just a shout-out as I cannot see that mentioned anywhere above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing that new it was that I puted an Android screen, and i putted Battery of car on charge. Plus Battery of keyless( both ) are news. And also so strange that it working perfectly for closed it. And if I go directly by door trunk it s open all car directly. Only keyless and plip( key bip) are with delay for open doors.
