I've got pretty much the same unit as yours Dave. The sellers all say that I need a canbus adaptor to make the Android units to work in my car, guessing it will be the same for you. I haven't yet taken the step to Android, but hopefully in the near future 🤞

I would simply emphasise that the Amayama parts I ordered and had fitted by my Indy are actually proper Toyota Lexus genuine parts Malc

Life especially when retired can sometimes seem a bit the same every day and poor weather doesn’t help. However I am thankful for this in that no big life threatening issues are happening and hopefully summer will arrive soon to go out for a nice drive with the top down.

You are best to ask the sellers, they usually insist to see how your unit looks, some even ask you to remove the unit to take pictures of the back connectors to make sure you get the compatible unit. For example I knew exactly what unit I need, but seller basically refused to sell me the unit without taking picture of connector. I have cheated a little bit, found matching unit picture online and sent that. Basically, sellers on aliexpress and similar places, even ebay have incentive to make sure you get the right unit, because if it doesn't work it is expense on them to take it back. So it is not like you can go and order wrong unit and the simply going to ship it to you. As far as units are concerned there are many variations, at least 8, maybe more - it is combination of screen or no screen, ML or non-ML, later HDD versions of several sizes, but in principle they can be put in 3 main categories - with Optical audio-out for ML, with additional connectors for screen/camera, or one without neither. I have noticed that some trims had slightly different button design, IS250C seems to have little bit more chrome, I think Advance trim has like black surround, but all that doesn't matter, it is still same unit underneath. I don't even think it matters if it is HDD or DVD version, the location of connectors may be slightly different, but it will be same connectors based on those 3 broad categories. So simply ask seller if they have unit that fits your car, answer their questions, send pictures and they will tell you which one you need to order.

Paul had seen it once before, he said. He was pretty confident on the phone prior, that this may be the issue. I guess it is a tricky manoeuvre to crush the tensioner in the vice, insert the pin, bolt it into position and then pull the pin. He adjusted for 2 teeth, but after rotating through 2 cycles the marks were still 1 tooth off, so the routine happened twice. He loosened the bank 1 cap so he could see the marks between the halves. Great knowledge. Apart from a thorough checkover, Paul also adjusted the parking brakes and linkage, pads and discs ok for at least 12 months There was one code remaining, a B1248 LAN issue, but this due to the fact that the radio was in my workshop at home🥴 A few computer tweaks were also done. Windscreen nozzles cleared and aimed. Window operation on key fob Auto rain sensors set wipers to intermittent when car stationary.

Hi. I've got a 2009 59 plate is250c special edition. I have never got the sat nav updated because it is of the type that requires a dealer to do the update. It's still on 2009 maps. I've been quoted £300 plus just to get the maps up to date. I'm not doing that! So for that money I can get a nice android head unit as modern and up to date as my phone. Unfortunately the button position on my existing head unit seem to be in a very rare position and all the headunits I have looked at online have a red X next to that configuration. Most don't even show that configuration. There really are a lot of different configurations and button names! I wonder if anyone has found a unit that matches this configuration or can help with my search. Thanks

I got both keys complete at time of delivery (March 24) of my RX450h+. Still awaiting the wheel bolts.

Don't forget to let him out when you've finished.

Sorry to hear that. Any chance this was covered under the Relax warranty (assuming you had it serviced at a Lexus dealer)?

Do you lock it with the remote or just with the key ? Car battery will last longer with just the key .

Tbh if you don’t mind a Cat car i would grab the one priced at £15.900 , looks clean , has all the facelift goodies , decent mileage

Happened to a friend on Nissan Qashqai. Modern headlights come as a unit. Cost to my friend upwards of £1750 including ECU for just one unit not pair. Rare incident the dealer said but when it happens, ridiculously expensive to put right.

I'm going for a compromise solution, buying the genuine arms but getting the local garage to fit them. I plan on keeping it for a few years to come and it's my main car for work, long journeys, going to France etc. I'll try and get a photo before they come off, the current bushes are starting to crack - it's particularly evident on the outside of each bush.

I couldn’t get them in uk except Lexus at £335 each vs £200 for both delivered from USA in 5 days all duties and del paid. That’s the attraction cash plain and simple.

Was booked in today for the 2nd Key fob and locking wheel nuts. Not sure what is correct but I only have 1 metal key in the original key fob. I was only given the 2nd remote today without the metal key inside and was told it should have been supplied with two metal keys from the supplying dealership. Seems very odd so not sure. Anyone with a 5th gen RX had the same?

I had the same problem with water drips in the same place after a windscreen replacement - they hadn't done something correctly at the top of the screen and the water was running around the screen, behind the dash and dripping out under the glovebox. Although you haven't had the windscreen replaced as @CypressPhil suggests maybe the bonding has failed - it only takes a very small hole for a lot of water to get in. Worth focusing some running water onto the windscreen edges and see if it comes through.

It is actually longer …im about a 1/3 of the way up it when i took the photo

Hi Lycan Great choice of car there! Virtually identical to my GS250 Luxury with a tad over 70k on the clock. Gave mine a good wash, polish and wax today. Have to say the quality of paintwork on these cars is second to none. As far as maintenance goes, in 6 years of ownership all I've ever done is have it serviced by the main dealer. They actually aren't as expensive as you may initially believe. Only bits I've had to replace have been consumables like discs and pads. The electronics and mechanical aspects have been absolutely rock solid. They really are an extremely well built and superbly engineered car. I'd like to think both of our cars have plenty of life left in them without needing anything but standard servicing. Cheers.

Might take the car out tomorrow!

Damn....should've asked here instead of listening to the dealership. They told me, just drive and the car will adjust. No turning back now, already driven 2750+ miles in 3 weeks.

Pills only once a day. Lucky you.

Funny isn't it how the people with the real knowledge choose the right cars. My son has a Subaru Legacy estate - Jap import rust free, the one with the WRX 2.0 turbo blueprinted engine ( quite rare ) - runs beautifully and quick too. He swapped me his ISF 2 or 3 yrs ago. Sept 2012 facelift 61K miles Full Lexus SH. Dark Grey metallic. In great condition. H&S catback, currently SORNed after winter. Due out June 1st. Goes like stink but never abused. I considered selling as it does very few miles and is expensive but I just can't bear to lose it. I hope you find a nice one. The Autotrader facelift ones look OK but are a bit pricey. Best of luck, if you find one you will not be disappointed.🫡

Get marine grade in stainless steel 👍🏻

You’ve got to love a routine …no surprises to worry about 😉

Life here Wake Clear neighbours cat poo off back garden Watch tele news Go to Aldi Keep an eye on dogs ( with owners standing by as if nothing is wrong! )using our front garden as a toilet Evening - Glass of german beer Nice home cooked dinner with a good wine Watch Tele Go to bed Get up for a pee Back to bed Get up for breakfast and pills Start all over again wondering if it will ever stop raining But hey, I'm an optimist I wonder what the miserable folk do every day
