Music From Usb Stick - Car Slow To Provide Browse Option
microgerry replied to BBKing's topic in Lexus CT 200h Club
Changing the subject only slightly......... While using the usb stick anyone notice that you have to turn the volume way up high to hear the tracks? Very annoying when you switch back to radio and forget to turn it down again first! -
I would try another couple of dealers if I were you, that's a bit expensive
-
Wow, cannot believe the cheek of some dealers! Yes, try Lexus Chester. They fitted mine too and are great to deal with. Gerry

i was all set ready to order the parts and do the job but have since realised i think these comments refer to earlier models where the cruise controls are built into the steering wheel and not the stalk in the column like the MY14. Hi Dan, welcome to the forum. I am not sure if you require the same parts on your model as on mine (your dealer would be able to check for you) but just letting you know that the cruise controls are not on the steering wheel. They are on a new stalk which is added to the column at about the five o'clock position. Can't see it being different on the new models. Gerry

Have a look at post #16 further up the page!

Each time I swap my wheels for the winter in October (then again in March) I phone the insurers to let them know. It does not affect my premium nor do they make a charge but they told me they do need to know when making any changes to the vehicle.
-
I too have a set of winter wheels and tyres and can honestly say that they make a huge difference in traction in the colder temperatures. They were excellent when we were in the lake district at the end of March this year when the snow was bad. Our CT was the only car moving in the small village where we stayed.
-
Excellent Mark, well done. Let us know how you like it once up and running.
-
do you have the part numbers for the items that are needed for the retro fit L84632-34011 Switch, A/Drive L84633-48020 Switch, Cruise C L45186-76010-0C0 Cover Steering L90159-50199 Screw (qty 2) That was all that was required. Gerry

Mine was £175 + the vat. Money well spent though.
-
Just had cruise control fitted last week (thanks Geof) at my local Chester dealer after a friendly email from Antony Wilson at Lookers. So pleased to have this back on my car. A worthwhile addition to the CT. Gerry

I have just re-fitted my 16" winter alloys and Michelin Primacy tyres. Used them for the first time last winter and cannot stress too much what a difference they made! You will notice too. My first winter with the standard 17" wheels were a worrying time when the snow arrived. Also, less risk of kerb damage. Gerry

Hi. I have just bought a set of winter tyres for my CT200h and got the speed and load ratings off the standard tyres fitted to the car.
-
My dealer has confirmed that our CT does not have special valves and sensors. I have since bought a set of alloys and winter tyres which will be fitted later this month once the temperature drops enough. Will report back their effectiveness once they are in use.
-
Damn. Looks like it will be more expensive than anticipated then. Lexus dealer wants a fortune for them!
-
Hi. Thinking of buying some new alloys next week and some winter tyres. What I need to know is does the CT200 have special valves in the wheels? How does it monitor the pressures? Gerry
-
I too would be interested in a space saver spare wheel. It was the first thing I bought when I got my last car, a SEAT Leon. I sourced one from a MKV Golf for only £25 and just replaced the whole fitting in the car boot. Does the Prius not have a space saver that would fit the CT200? If not, is it possible to just purchase a Lexus wheel and tyre without any other parts? Gerry
-
Hi. Is it possible to equalise the volume level of the different audio inputs? On mine the radio and cd player sound are ok but when the ipod or USB stick are inserted I have to whack the volume control way up high just to hear it. That is fine until you forget to change it back when you put the radio back on! Is there some hidden setting to increase the volume from the USB port and save it? Also, can the Route Guidance sound level be increased too? Thanks, Gerry

We signed up for this when we bought ours last August. It covers the first three annual services (as we do low miles) and first mot test. They also collect the car from home or work and leave a loan car, and valet it before bringing it back. Had our first service done last month and it was returned with more fuel in it than when it left! Oh, and we live in North Wales and the dealer is in Bolton. Damn good service plan I would say for less than £20 per month.
-
I had a call from the dealer too about it. We are going to leave it a few weeks though as the 10K service is due soon and they can do that at the same time. They said it wasn't urgent as such.
-
Did anyone else spot the silver CT driven by Travis in ITV1 Above Suspicion this week?
-
A few weeks after we took delivery of ours I found that too. Only difference was it included a pair of Raybans - very nice Lexus touch! Turned out to belong to the sales guy who was driving round our demo car before we bought it, as he phoned one day asking for them back! :(
-
I bought the SE-I with full map nav and have all of those goodies you mentioned too. It's great discovering new things all the time. Only a few days ago I put loads of music onto a usb stick and it played really well through the system. Then when I selected USB again it played music that I knew was not on the stick. Took me ages to figure out that it had also picked up music from my phone's music player too by bluetooth!
