Hello to all! I just bought a Lexus Ux250h recently with base package, normal non-heated and non-electric seats, and after a few weeks, I got a very good deal on some nice seats ( full interior) which have electric adjustments and heating. Having retrofitted heated seats before in 2 different lexus Is's (plug&play), I was almost sure that that wiring harness were there in this Ux too. But I had a very unpleasant surprise. There are not. Not even a + wire for the electric motors. I want to do anything to retrofit these seats, I got the central console buttons which had the wiring and work, but there is nothing coming to the seats. If someone already did this or has more experience about this subject, please offer me some tips. I tried to play wit the Lexus wiring diagrams a little and figure things out, but not being a car mechanic, it will take me some hours or days to understand things. Anyone with more experience can give me some shortcuts to understand the diagrams better? I also found online a floor wiring harness coming of a model which had electric-heated seats, but it is pretty expensive and I don't even know if buying them will fix the problem. Thank you in advance!

a lot worse than my old is 220d...

thanks. sadly, after almost one year of owning this car, it has been the most frustrating driving experience i have ever had.

thank you, you are right.

Hello! I own a Lexus Is 300h and lately almost always I've been using the Sport mode combined with manual shifting and starting to like it too much since it's holding higher revs and making the car more responsive. BUT, the problem is when i am using the Normal mode or Sport without manual shifting, I sometimes downshift (-paddle) to have more power and higher revs, but almost always i feel like i need to downshift 2 times (2 "virtual" gears) or more to get to the optimal revs. Is there a way to RE...program the shifting pattern so that the car will not DESPERATELY pick a very high gear ratio immediately after it gets in motion. For example, the equivalent to a normal gear box, it feels like in the city the car picks the 4,5,or 6th speed which is very frustrating since i only need gear 2 or 3 maximum.

what was the technical fix for this problem offered by the lexus service?

it was an app that connected to an obd interface and you had to hold the acceleration and break pedal for let's say 10-15 minutes, while the battery was charging, and at the end the app concluded that the battery life was 70%, maybe based on the time it took to charge or someting else

well i got it a few months ago and not when it was new so i cannot compare. i also replaced the wheels from 17 inch to 18 inch f sport and the fuel consumption has increased a little but not that much

Hello! I own a is 300h 2017 with a mileage of 150.000km . The mpg is awful, when i drive it the hybrid recommended way - (i know exactly what that is), the best fuel consumption is 7,5l/100 km combined (city+highway), and when i drive it like a normal car, it can go up to 10l/100km. The toyota official battery check was OK so my warranty is extended, but I went to a specialized hybrid service that used an app to check my battery health and it was around 70%. So my question is - is there a way to speed up the battery going dead so i can benefit from the warranty and replace it as soon as possible?
