I have just been advised by Lexus that this update is only available for 2018 models onwards. Unless a third party has something at reasonable cost, then I'm out.

All of the posters on this thread appear to have quite recent models, does anyone know if this Carplay thing would be compatible with a 2014 model. Is it possible to see Google maps or the Sygic app mentioned by Superduner if you plug your iphone into the USB port in the centre console or is this the reason you need the special software.

I have now found my manual, all 688 pages of it!! Plus the 432 page navigation system manual. I wonder why they didn't make the remote just open the tailgate without unlocking the rest of the car.

Thanks DanD, not as good as I thought then if you have to unlock the car first. Yes i do have a manual but my wife has been tidying up...........you know what that means😜

I tried to open my hatch with the remote yesterday but it didn't work. I didn't have time to investigate as I had a lot on. I will have to have a look today if I can. I didn't realise that if you use the remote it only unlocks the tailgate, that is better than nothing.

Hi Steve, yes it's the screaming sort of sound that I hear when say putting your foot down to pass someone quickly.

Ah, I was thinking that you meant that the 'little button' was to the right of the actual tailgate release catch on the door itself rather than in the cab. I have got the button on the remote to open and close it, but not the 'locking' button. I don't have the one either for the 'pretend sound' which DanD says is only on the F Sport. I seem to recall that I had it on my IS300h though. I was able to turn that down. What I don't like about the sound is that, for want of a better description, it sounds like the car is struggling/racing, not too sure that's the most apt description.

If this 'noise' is only available on the F Sport DanD, then my noise is obviously not computer generated and is the natural engine noise but, it just doesn't sound like a natural engine acceleration noise to me. Seems as though I'm going to have to put up with it. Thank you for your input Don C but unfortunately I don't seem to have the little button that you refer to. I see that your car is a 2020 jobby whereas mine is on a 64 plate so there would be a number of enhancements on yours. The button that you mention would be absolutely what I am looking for and would be perfect for when you pop back to the car and need to put something in the boot and then shoot off again. Press the button and the tailgate opens, dump your goodies, press the little button and the whole car locks up, perfick!

Hello folks. I am wondering, is it possible to set the tailgate operation in such a way that the rest of the doors don't unlock when you open it. Or alternatively, because the doors were all locked prior to opening the tailgate, as soon as you close it again, all the doors automatically lock again. Hope you can make sense of the question😜 Next, is it possible to turn off the noise you get when you accelerate, I'm not much of a fan of that I'm afraid. Hope you're all enjoying this bit of Indian Summer we are getting, plus of course, staying safe.

So you're one update behind at the moment then Stephan? You're quite happy with the way the process went then, any hiccups at all? I think that my maps must be 2013/14. I will probably go for it either later this week or the beginning of next.

Hi again, I received a reply this morning from Toyota Maps On-Line, image attached. I imagine that it is the same update that you have installed.

I'm just waiting for a reply to see if they have the latest update yet. As soo as I hear I will post.

You are absolutely spot on ColinBarber, I did exactly as you suggested and Bob''s your uncle etc., and it's all working a real treat now. Thanks to all for the help with my new pc, much appreciated as always.

No ColinBarber, the disk showing in there is the SSD (NVMe.2)

I have connected the 1TB Hard Drive to the power and data cables already fitted in the machine and so I can't imagine that it would be sharing.

Hi again folks, well I've got my new pc up and running but, I seem to have run into a problem with the hard drive. I have removed the 1TB Western Digital Drive that I had in my old pc and have installed it in my new one. I use this drive purely for all of my personal data, no programmes etc, they are all on the SSD along with the O/S. Now this drive is not appearing in 'File Explorer' and 'Disk Management' but, it can be seen in 'Device manager'. Does anyone have any thoughts on this please? Also, I am wondering if there is a list stored anywhere of all of my 'Favourites' that I can import or, have I simply got to start from scratch again? I have (hopefully) attached some images of 'Device Manager' and 'Disk manager' and also one of Macrium Reflect which is showing a long red line on the SSD drive and I am wondering if anyone knows what this might be. Thanks for the input and help chaps, as always, much appreciated. I have to go out now and so if there is a reply that I don't respond to for a while, I'm not ignoring you!

Hiya Pete, I have taken delivery of the Dell Vostro 3671 and am now in the process of setting it up. I have always put my O/S and programmes on one disk and all of my data on another. I have transferred the WD 1TB drive from my old pc into the new one and so I will continue to put my data onto that and will use the pre-installed SSD in the Vostro for my O/S etc. I purchased an additional 8GB of matching RAM for the new machine and I have just installed that. All that I have to do now is reinstall all of my programmes and it should be all systems go. I have got two USB 3.0 slots on the front of my new machine but only USB 2.0 on the rear. On the basis that most of the connections are on the rear of machines, I wonder why they don't include a 3.0 there, seems odd to me. Thank you for your input.

Thank you Herbie, very useful info. I was getting close to reaching my decision and was then pointed at this one https://www.dell.com/en-uk/work/shop/desktop-and-all-in-one-pcs/dell-vostr-3671/spd/vostro-3671-desktop/s112vd3671btsukie01_r2005_22nm#features_section Does this look a better bet and is it worth £110.00 more than the Dell?

Thank you for your input DanD, much appreciated. I do have a laptop (an Acer Aspire) but I am not a fan of them and I only use it when I have run into a problem with my pc. I didn't buy it, it was my wife's and I hung on to it when she moved on to just using an iPad. I also use it if I am sat in my armchair with my feet up and my wife is watching something on the TV. Again this is only very occasional.

From previous experience, I am aware that there are some members on here who are well versed in all matters computers. I am thinking about replacing my quite old computer which is a Dell Studio XPS 7100, I think that it must be about 10 or 12 years old now. I have spotted this during my scanning of the internet and am wondering if someone would be kind enough to let me know how it compares to my old one. I am not very good at processor and GHz details and would appreciate any thoughts that anyone might have. https://www.dell.com/en-uk/work/shop/cty/pdp/spd/optiplex-3070-desktop/s014o3070mt I am constantly on the internet and, the other main uses are for my work as treasurer of a local club and so a lot of word processing and spreadsheet work is done. I also keep lots of records on file. I am wondering if I purchased it, could I change the hard drive to an SSD? Would this invalidate the warranty if it was done within that period? I will be most grateful for any thoughts, good or bad. Thank you.

Nothing industrial close to me. I'm 2 miles from the beach!

Just looked it up and you could be right. thanks for your thoughts.

Have been doing a spot of car cleaning today, inside and out and. When I raised the bonnet to wipe away the inevitable grime that finds its way into the nooks and crannies, I noticed that acertain part was covered in a white substance that can with a bit of effort, be cleaned away but, I am wondering how it got there in the first place. Also, a couple of metal parts appear to be quite speckled, it's definitely not rust, not sure how to describe it really. I have (hopefully) attached a couple of images and would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced something similar or, might know what it is.

It's well worth looking at this website for your update. I am in touch with them at them moment and they have told me that an update for my setup is due anytime now. Mine is the same year as yours but I don't have the Premier version. They are extremely helpful people. https://toyotamaps.online/map-updates
