Lexus will most likely not entertain anything and deny there is anything wrong. How do you know there's protection on this head unit, unless you can decipher components and have a scheme it will be difficult. There could be a CMOS battery used for the clock memory but that shouldn't prevent the unit going dead itself. Lexus sell much more cars in the USA than England so I would trawl forums there to see what is happening

obviously there is something going on here - I suspect a hardware issue

I dont know about that - you know how electronic products work right, they have revisions or mod level changes - what is the same on the outside is not necessarily the same on the inside

They made proper devices back then it seems without cutting corners

It will have nothing to do with ageing components, if it's a design flaw that issue would have always existed but batteries aren't changed for about 6 or so years.. The easiest way to see what's happening is look at the circuit board and the supply input for the navigation, there's going to be a choke or a filter there and also tvs diodes which will prevent voltage transients damaging sensitive logic chips. If it's not present there isn't much you can do and hope that something as simple as a fuse is blown.

Like I said multiple times, it's an issue with the radio unit itself - my guess as an established electronic engineering is that there's insufficient or no transient protection on the DC input to that unit - hence it blowing up when you replace the battery. Lexus won't have any of this of course and want a complete unit - of course they do. There's a small claims court which is the route I would take in a situation like this, sometimes you need to stand up for your rights when you aren't getting anything from the manufacturer. I've changed the battery about 400 times in my Subaru and not once has anything blown, this has as many modules and so forth than a Lexus LS car, there's no reason why such a mundane task should cause such catastrophic damage

Its pretty obvious that the problem with EVs is not the non existent fumes getting emmited from the rear of the vehicle but the abhorrent manufacturing process involved in making even a single one - you see people having an EV but requiring another combustion car to do long trips - - if it makes you carbon neutral and you can afford the monthly payments I guess it will make your life more comfortable in the end.

You mean LenT and Co who seem to think Electric Car batteries are grown in compost heaps? The points I make are all conmspiracy because the only narrative that goes now is what the science have told you- the same science screwing up the world with gender identity bs and renaming the Breacon Beacons due to the climate narrative but its ok - I get your point, I need to just follow the crowd - follow and comply

Note how anything not validated by 'the science' is invalid Maybe I should just be a sheep and wear a mask, stop eating meat, get vaccinated, get a heat pump, electric car and turm on SMS alerts incase I miss any catastrophic life changing events in the UK. Idaho doctor co-signs letter demanding the FAA, airlines ground vaccinated pilots The letter makes claims that are not supported by scientific research. Some folks just cannot handle the truth and then they go compain to moderators. Use your brains, it helps

Because anything you say that goes against the narrative is by default a conspiracy?

Even if I said it it would be a conspiracy wouldn't it

Incompetence enough to force people to buy electric cars because there's no alternative, and please.. combustion engine cars are banned from the future unless you want to make your own cars. EVs are a disaster, I called it out over 2 years ago and only benefit the 3 entities I previously mentioned

This Pfizer exec, basically says in layman terms you are just an experiment to these drugs and two comments worth noting 1. Unverified means they haven’t yet been able to spin it as false. 1. We have a saying in my country: The drunk man truth speaks. The fact he had a few drinks isn't an excuse, if anything that makes it more likely he had a moment of honesty. And thirdly, I was keeing a close eye on excess deaths in the UK post vaccine roll out and it was hovering around the thousand plus mark per week - after a mass vaccination programme dont you think deaths should go down? Trust the science have all avenues and routes ticked off and even if you were presented with a dossier on covid you would say its a conspiracy because its from dubious sources -- (ie not the science) - exactly as with net zero - its ok for councils to fell trees and install ULEZ and LTN zones and cycle lanes but if you bodge up a riveway (as stupid as it was to do) you get locked up for a year. All the data they have shown us is frivilous BS to coerce you into getting vaccinated with the reward a holiday and freedom

So how exactly is mining batteries good for the environment, where exactly is the conspiracy and most of these EVs are charged up with fossil fuels anyway - you are obviously in need of help so I'll tell you quite simply that a large EV has over half a tonne of lithium batteries, a small to medium sized one between 300-400kg - that is per each. LFP technology will weigh even more. I've already worked it out and there's a spreadsheet here but that thread was deleted because, doesn't fit the narrative etc. Get your head rinsed out but you won't, the science have done irreversible damage

It's not true because you are following a narrative, a narrative that says nobody died from vaccines and that electric cars are fantastic for the environment and we have a climate change crisis. Like I said multiple times you lot are beyond help and clearly brainwashed out of control. There's a common trend with what you say Where did you study science, what are your qualifications, where is the evidence and grow up. BTW, I am a scientist.. although I'm not paid off, unlike say the imperial college of London

Research..it's not like trust the bloody science or the BBC will tell you, ask that conspiracy Iman bloke maybe?! Gullible... On a whole new level

And your point is? Electric cars and the manufacturing of them is catastrophic for the environment, dealers aren't touching used one's with a bargepole now either and many people are realising the con that they always were - you are too dumb it seems to realise the amount of batteries used to make a solitary EV, either that or you are just ignoring it because trust the science haven't mentioned it. You lot here should try magic beans that grow lithium batteries in planters, an eco friendly solution that everyone needs.

You lot are brainwashed into obliteration, it's not me who needs help Do you know many airlines are banning vaccinated pilots to fly now? Of course you don't - trust the science and don't forget get a heat pump, solar panels, electric car and stop eating meat - we have a climate emergency remember and turn on your phone for the alerts, you don't want to miss anything do you.

Farmer who hired diggers and builders to illegally rip up trees along the bank of River Lugg is jailed for 12 months and ordered to pay £1.2 MILLION restoration costs I'm waiting for councils across the land felling 100 year old trees for saving net zero climate change crisis to be brought to justice

Sorry to hear 😞 Cars seem a bit pointless at this time

You mean like Rishi Sunak? If you watch Iman's video you will see what he said, the shots are called by the UN, specifically the WEF and they have no right to do anything because they aren't even visible in democratic countries but they are a separate entity and they can make things happen as we are seeing with net zero. Govs have been corrupted for years whether you like it or not it is what it is

In a few hours, Iman is calling out all the Puppets and their Masters… by name This nonsense is getting found out

Eh, combustion engine cars aren't made anymore beyond 2030 or at least that is what they want, good luck running a Subaru or Lexus on bio fuel.. it's only recently was there a push back about this ban with Germany and Italy pushing back - two countries who have built up a stellar history in making petrol cars realising that maybe these EVs aren't so good after all and you can bet Govs will tax your petrol car to the graveyard until you finally give up Governments want control of your wealth as much as they want you off the road, you need to stop listening to bs that's all. You need to remember it's 2023, call back in 2030 and see how all these theories panned out.

It speaks volumes about EVs that the only way to get people to buy one is to ban the alternatives, it also shows the contempt that the government has for the free market economy and the consumer. These vehicles are only suitable for those living in a city who do a limited mileage, for those of us elsewhere it again shows the scant regards our government has for us all. Replacing every car in the UK, and just the UK with an electric one would use up 75 to 80 per cent of the all the world's nedynium, cobalt, copper and lithium. It will NEVER happen. The fascist globalist establishment know this. The intention is simply that none of us will have personal transport (only the elites) hence the push for 15 minute cities and all the mind numbing controlling measures taking shape in cities. The agenda is malevolent, manipulative and has absolutely furk all to do with saving the planet. when that famous phrase popped up, you will own nothing.. and Iman has explained it to a tee.. it means that the government will own you - his YT video on over a million views now, it had 30 thousand when I saw it a few days ago, people waking up to the lies. Everything is about control and always was, getting people to wear masks was the point when governments realised it was easier than they imagined. It was around 2 or so years ago I said that EVs only are beneficiary to three select group of organisations 1. The government itself 2. Auto manufacturers as they have control of IP and planned obsolescence like never before 3. Banks LenT and co, you lot really need to cleanse out your heads with the bs
