Ohoopee

HI, thanks for your reply. The big difference between my lexus and the one in the video above is mine is not talking back to me...When I name my phone, I can hear that back so it is detecting my voice and the volume appears to be correct, mine just isn't talking. I played around some more and figured out how to unpair on my phone so the cat didn't appear anymore. I went back and this time, got my phone to pair but again the audio didn't seem to work. So I'm guessing, you h ave to pick one or the other but not both? Yeah my old Lexus ad an auxillery port that I used for spotify and I see the new one does as well so I guess that is what I will have to do. At least the phone is paired now.

Hi guys, I'm hoping some of you more technologically advanced people might be able to help me. Yesterday I just bought a 2011 ct200h. It is in mint condition and has extremely low mileage..I just couldn't say no. I love the car but I am having some serious difficulty pairing my phone to it. It is a basic model CT 200h so it doesn't have all the bells and whistles which includes navigation so I am trying to pair my phone do a system without a navigation screen. I found this video on youtube but it just doesn't seem to work for me. This stereo he is working with here does look exactly like mine but reversed obviously. First of all, when I push the voice command button on the steering wheel and say setup, nothing happens. Now I did manage to play around and get my phone audio synced to the car...I was riding around the village listening to spotify. The problem then when I cam back and continued messing, I finally got to the screen to pair my phone. The problem is that is is giving me the same blutooth name and code as it did for the auto and that seems to have caused problems. In my phone, on my blutooth menu, I can still see the car but they are no longer showing as paired, even when the car is on. whats more, when I get the car to try to pair with my phone, the car says searching but no no name or anything on my phone and when I try to connect to old listing for the car, the one I had synced the music with, it says unable to connect..and now I can't get music back either. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

That website you linked is exactly what I was looking for...thanks!

Ah, well it gets more confusing. I was only using the brake pads as an example because I have a set of Genuine Toyota brake pads for my car that I never used...so I had the part number. I am getting my diagrams from: https://lexus-europe.epc-data.com/ It is confusing because that website lists three possible pads for my car...but the ones I have are listed as (subs) what ever that means...the brake pads aren't important now but I shop ebay alot and see used parts all the time and was looking for a way to make sure they were the right part. I was just using these pads I have for a guide since I knew their full part number. I'll have a look at the website you linked.

So this is probably a stupid question so I apologize in advance. When looking at a Lexus Part diagram such as the one attached, it only seems to give you one set of part numbers..yet when you order a part, it has two sets of numbers separated by a hyphen. So for instance, on the attached chart, it gives the brake pads as Part Number: 04465...yet if you were to go to a dealer and purchase these same pads, they would come with the part number 04465-53040...where is the 53040 coming from and does it appear on these diagrams anywhere?

It was the NCT centre. I live in Ireland, the NCT is our yearly inspection we have to have done on our cars. They claim they found the codes. It was on my printout as advisories.

I must say, you at least make it sound more positive than they did on the automotive forum I posted this too. They made it sound as if my ABS was about to shut down. Still, this is the first time my car has had this code since I have owned it so something has changed. My batter is only a couple of years old and I jumped it off with a jump box, not another car. But I have only driven the car back and forth to work since then which is only about 15 miles away from home...maybe the alternator is not having time to fully charge the battery? Perhaps that is why I'm getting the code?

I just took my car in for its annual inspection. It passes, has no warning lights, and seems to be running fine. However on the report it stated that they detected 2 engine codes. The codes are C1241 and C1424. The first one says voltage out of tolerance on ABS control unit. The other says Zero point deviation for preasure sensor on master cylinder. Could this be a problem with my battery?

Thanks for the recommendations. I guess I am going to have to order some of those clips from ebay. I went outside with a flat head screw driver. I stuck the screw driver all the way threw the little slot in the pin and pulled...the top of the pen started turning white and was about the break so I stopped...it didn't come out at all but is now loose compared to the others. I don't think I will be able to get them out without breaking them.

A few months back, we had a hail storm. I didn't think at the time that my car suffered any damage. However, today while I was washing it, I noticed a small dent on the top of the boot door. There is no paint damage and I think I can just pop it out myself if I can get to the underside of the door. I looked in my boot and the underside of the door has a cover which appears to be held on by plastic clips. My questions is, what is the best way to remove this clips without damaging anything and how hard are they to put back in when I am done?

Thanks guys, I got some WD-40, gave all the lug nuts a good spray down...I'm off Sunday so will given them another spray down then, get a hammer and have another go. If I still can't...or if I brake the key, will take it to a garage on Tuesday...allthough I really hate too.

Hi guys, I have only had my car for a year. The brakes starting making noise last week so I knew it was time to change them. I got my brake pads and sate about this past weekend to change them. Each of my four wheels has a locking lug nut on them...and I just cant get the damn things off. I have two keys for them, one is already broken as apparently this is a problem the last person had. I got out my bracker bar and connected it to the key...it was turning but would not brake free...and it also distorted the inside of the key. I stopped because I was afraid I was going to brake like the other. The guy I bought the car from had is own mechanic who is a rally driver...everything on this car that I have messed with has been tightened to death...It took me over an hour of trying to get the oil filter cover off back in May when I changed the oil. What can I do to get these locking nuts off? If I get a flat on the next few days, I am screwed.

Yep, I have two 3-tonne jack stands...just don't get to use them with my current jack because I can't get it under it.

Cool thanks, I'll give one a try.

Thanks for the recommendation...it is very hard to tell from pictures but it doesn't look much bigger than my current jack. I am just worried about having room to jack it up which is the problem with my current jack. Love the idea of having a jack with Rocket lift though.
