Derv

Well I'm slowly getting there. Still not working with my Xperia Z - but this is where I am at. I have managed to activate mirror link on my phone by going through the settings - Xperia - start mirrorlink option. When connected via USB - the phone connects without any error to the car , the mirror link front end pops up on the phones screen and even a steering wheel icon apears at the top indicating successfull connection. However - frustratingly - the option on the lexus menu is still greyed out. I must be getting close surely! Any advice ???

Has anyone had any experience of Mirror link? It's designed so you can see and operate your smart phone on the lexus info display. This includes the ability to see your phone's sat nav on the lexus screen - which would be amazeballs if i could get it working. The non sat nav Lexus IS300h has it a standard. I can see it on the menu - info screen - but it is greyed out. I've tried following the instructions on page 391 of the manual - but cant get my phone to be recognised. I have checked on the sony website - which confirms that my Xperia Z is mirror link compatible. Any help gratefully received.

Got a Sony Xperia Z - which worked fine in my old 5 Series. Think my problems are getting worse - now it wont detect my ipod - which worked fine yesterday! Doh!

Thanks all for the advice. Today made lots of progress. IPOD works fine now not changed any settings - but its fixed itself. USB sticks - it doesn't recognise any older ones - but plug in a new one and bingo! DAB radio - managed to get it working ! Woo Woo! Hovever i played arround a bit with the presets and they all disapeared. Despite atempting to re tune and search for new stations non apear! Doh! I'm hoping with a bit more fidling they might turn up! Bluetooth hands free - Still disconnects and re connects with the phone every few mins without any reason - so I have temporarily given up with it as it is unusable and I find the text telling me it's disconnected and reconnected on the screen distracting. On the plus side - had a very pleasant drive through the traffic of Nottingham today. Nevre have i been so relaxed with no clutch pedal and gears to worry about whilst wafting along in near silence. 54 mpg was achieved driving arround the city for most of the day. Pretty impressive! I love seeing the MPG value go up when your crawlng in traffic!!

Thanks for that - Makes very interesting reading. However no one else seems to be having the DAB problem. I'm in an area with good reception - the portable DAB radio in the house picks up all the channels. But I've only managed to pick up one weak signal of a local Northamptonshire station - No Radio 1 / 2 ? I wonder if its anything to do with the aerial design - my old Fiat coupe used to have an integrated aerial which didnt pick up good reception.

Thanks Charles for the advice. I'll give the USB cable trick a go!

Thanks DJP for the Welcome! I'm going to pop it round to Lexus Derby tomorrow to see if they can sort it out.

Evening all Just had the dellivery of my new IS300h SE on Tuesday - Its poverty spec with no extras and black paint - but Ilove it Managed to get 65 mpg on mixed A road / village driving on my way to work the other day - so well impressed. The only issues I have had is with regards the standard audio system and was wondering if it was just me with these problems:-[ DAB refuses to tune into anything Does not recognise my USB stick IPOD disconnects itself after a few seconds playing the first song Bluetooth Mobile phone connection keeps disconnecting and re connecting. Everything else - such as the brilliant handling - comfiest seats etc etc im very happy with. Just dissapointed with the stereo!
