I have both Pete. They are independent of each other,but  having the Service Plan should mean that the Dealer is on your side if you have to make a claim on the Extended Warranty.

Good point, given the car is primarily for a 55 mile commute to work it would be great piece of mind.

Interesting comments, thanks all.

As I'm currently paying for a service plan I'm wondering what the merit is having the extended warranty too.

No you can't get discount on warranty (tried it). 

Interestingly sold my car having paid monthly over 6 months for the warranty, because I hadn't claimed I had a £450+ refund which I was very impressed with. 

Thanks Les, I appreciate the swift response - I thought it might be expecting too much 🙂 

Good morning all

Happy New Year to you!

The extended warranty on my IS300h will expire in March and I too have received the 2-for-1 offer at a cost of £795.

I'm a Gold member, is there any discounting available for this does anyone know?

Thanks

Pete

Good evening all

I thought I'd contribute to this thread as I too experienced electrical issues which appeared to be due to the Battery. I did charge it but replaced it as a precaution but had lost the infotainment, no stereo, nav screen. The only thing that works is the CD eject button. 

I've replaced the Battery and checked all the fuses, the likely candidates in the passenger footwell and under the bonnet. Used the Carista OBDC connector and there are no faults. I'm wondering whether the infotainment is faulty after the electrics going haywire. 

Any ideas if there is a procedure for resetting the system? I've tried the disconnect Battery, keep the stereo button pressed for 5 seconds with ignition on (foot off break).

Thanks 

Pete

I'm keen to find out whether these are still available too?

Thanks

Pete

Search by akrapovic exhaust tip. I believe with measurements inner 59mm, outer 100 or 110mm (You'll need the outer measurement to fill up the diffuser exhaust gap). Good luck

Thanks again, you're a legend!

Many thanks for posting the eBay item, that's really helpful.

Can you also advise on the exhaust tips you fitted too please?

Hi Martin

Ah, got you - many thanks for your help 🙂

Cheers

Pete

I've searched for "Lexus IS Diffuser" but I've not found it yet.

Thanks Martin.

It is difficult to locate the exact part, do you have a good link?

Thanks 

Pete

After some research I opted for an aftermarket rearlip with diffuser. Had to cut off the tips bending down, but I was able to bolt on aftermarket exhaust tips on that similar to the OEM ones.

Hi Key, can you advise where you got your diffuser from, it looks pretty badass! 🙂

 

See breakdown of parts from Lexus with prices excluding VAT.

Hi there 

I'm replying to this thread as I'm looking to do the same to my 2015 IS 300h. I've obtained pricing from Lexus Milton Keynes, £900.51 including VAT. 

Can anyone advise whether this is competitive and the best way to source the parts? 

Thanks

Hi Ian, thanks again for your help, if you can dig out the diagram that would be cosmic.

Thanks Ian. Hopefully someone will know which wires in the vehicle looms to test.

Hi fellow Lexus lovers 

First post on here having owned a number of Lexus vehicles so be gentle 😊

I have power mirrors on my IS F-sport 300h 2014 model and miss the automatic folding on my previous RC. To rectify this I have purchased 2x kits that can be connected to an existing power mirror circuit. The kit was manufactured in China so the wiring diagram isn't exactly intuitive and the terminology such as "signal" is ambiguous, see the attached diagram. 

I'm pretty confident with auto electrics but wondered if anyone could advise on the wiring for the following in the door looms:

Output for opening mirror

Output for closing mirror 

Door open signal

Door close signal 

I can a meter to identify ACC ON and a constant 12v feed but if anyone can advise that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Pete

Good afternoon all

Having reviewed the numerous postings on this forum regarding the 2nd gen in particular I wondered whether someone could help me locate the latest 'BIOS upgrade' as it appears there are fixes to known problems.

My current version is dated March 2012 where the original supplier in the UK provided some assistance but unfortunately they are no longer responding to email queries.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Pete
