Rx 450H Cd Track Listings

[Greyanglia]

I have just bought a '59 Reg RX 450h SE-i which I am really pleased with so here goes with the first posting.

One liitle niggle is that I cannot seem to get any CD info (track names and listings etc) when I play CD's. I have tried both new and old CD's which worked well on my previous Volvo XC70 but they do not work on the Lexus. When I connect iTunes via my iPhone4 I can get all the track, artist information etc so is this a quirk of the system or a fault with the unit?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Great car BTW and a nice step forward from the '05 RX 300 I had a few years ago although I am a little disappointed with the mpg which I cannot seem to get above 31.5 mpg despite being careful and driving in ECO mode but I gather this is par for the course with what the manufacturer claims and the real world.

Thanks,

Why do you need trac

Why do you need track data when driving?

are you referring to original CDs or ones burnt from a computer?

mpg is a bit disappointing, no better than the 400h. What type of journeys are you doing?

I am referring to original CD's and I have tried recently purchased and older one's from my collection.

The last few cars I have owned have had CD players that list the name of the CD and identify track names so I am only concerned that I may have a unit that is faulty.

Duncan, I do not really understand your comment as you seem to imply it may be a safety issue in wanting to look at what track is playing on a CD in a vehicle that has the most spectacular and distracting on board computer/navigation/ICE package on the market and is by any standards pretty complicated and comprehensive in what it offers the driver. (Which I do love btw but want to ensure it is functioning properly!).

I do an 80 mile round trip commute that is made up of around 10 miles of small A roads at 40-50mph, a 20 mile run on a motorway/dual carriageway at 70- 80mph and a 10 mile crawl in traffic where I try to switch to Battery only so I suppose expecting much more than 30 - 32 mpg is probably unreasonable. .
