  1. You know what PaulWhitt since my last 4 cars in 6 years have been keyless entry and start I've forgotten that I have buttons on my fob lol. Cheers for your post And the fact it' a good way to check the car is locked. Heads up to you pal :-)
  2. Thanks Rayaans. I thought as much. I can' understand how a 'luxury ' car maker doesn't have all 4 doors wired in the keyless entry mode. Crikey I've had 4 of my last 5 fords which had all 4 doors in the keyless entry mode, ok they were top spec cars but none the less. Come on lexus get your rear ends into action.
  3. Do any is300h owners with keyless entry have the function to open the rear doors before any of the front ones? I'm suprised my premier premium doesn't have that. My previous fords with keyless entry I could open the rear doors and the other doors would open. Is there a setting within the car to enable rear door keyless opening?
  4. Thought I'd post latest info. I googled this problem and found a site specific to the note 4. A few problems to do with Bluetooth and one cure is to clear the cashe within the phones bluetooth. I was thinking today that it may be an app on my phone messing some things up. Since my main issue is with Spotify I thought it could be that. Anyway I cleared the cashe and now I can receive texts and emails to my car whether I'm playing a CD or listening to the radio and music from spotify. Happy days But track listing still don't change when the next track plays. Clicking on the pause or play buttons have no effect. My phone is bluetooth version 4 but the cars bluetooth is version 1. Blimey before this lexus I've had 5 fords ranging from 12 plate to 64 plate and each one performed flawlessly on Bluetooth with my note 4. So I'm wondering why such an old and unreliable version of Bluetooth is being used by lexus. The mind boggles.
  5. Thanks again folks. I did notice a big drop in wind noise this morning. It wasn't' raining. Maybe when it rains it gets a wind noise (won't have long to wait for that here lol)
  6. I' have thought they could program a new key to your car. Blimey Ford can.
  7. Interesting. I have noticed a kind of spoiler type thing at the top of the door rubber. Same on the passenger side. Makes me wonder if that induces a wind noise at a certain speed.
  8. Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Malcolm I get it in both wet and dry conditions. I did think tho that maybe there's a spec of dirt or similar in the window seal seat. I'l have a look after work. Thanks again.
  9. Does anyone else suffer a wind noise from their is300h's drivers door window? I'e just noticed that at speeds above 60mph there's a wind noise coming from the top of the drivers door. I' looking for both yes there is a wind noise and no not on mine replies. Many thanks
  10. Try using a leather food/cleaner regularly and you shouldn't have to swap seats round.
  11. Yes I forgot to mention the 4 cars breaking down scenario. I find that hard to believe and more of a fob off. I' going to test the dealer I bought my is300h from due to bluetooth issues and rear view camera not showing up on the screen.
  12. Thas bad luck. As for that stain. Is it not possible for you to take out the seat yourself? Have you looked underneath directly below where the stain is?
  13. Seconded. I assume you want to do the job yourself but get some advice from a car alarm specialist. Fitting a tracker properly will take a few hours. As stated above the tracker should be well hidden which means your job is hard in that it'll involve disassembling your interior.
  14. Might be your age ikeja. I found mine only this weekend and that's after one weeks ownership.
  15. I'm not a business user. The car is actually mine and private use only. My commute is 28 miles 5 times one week and 6 the next and a trip to Leeds from Rochdale at weekends. I personally like the idea of an oil change every 6k miles, it's something I've done to everyone of my cars both turbo and none turbo. It's just me as I care about my cars engines. I'm also a lover of ZX1 and all my cars have had it. My engines have been mint. As said I'll contact Stockport Lexus about a personalised service plan.
  16. Good info Rayaans and accurate. My car did have a service before I picked it up. My service quote is for Full 40, intermediate 50 and Full 60k and cost is £1345. I think that's fair enough however I'll contact the dealer as if service intervals are every 10k miles then I'll have to negotiate a service plan once a year at around 13k a year mileage. I'll specify that an engine oil change will happen at 6k intervals at someone like kwikfit.
  17. Oh? Well my car is a 64 plate with just 21.2k miles on it. I'll have a proper read of the offer when I have time and report back.
  18. Hi Rizmo. Just read your post. Go on the Castrol website and you'll find your answer there and for engine oil too.
  19. I've been sent details of a service plan over 3 years costing £1300. That's for 2 inters and 1 major. I'll have to find out if at this price all filters and plugs are included.
  20. Personally I'd stay well clear of cheap none genuine phone chargers. I've had 2 phones knackered by them. As above have said use a (genuine to your phone) cig lighter socket charger.
  21. Hi Tel. Thanks for your input. How can I find out what version software my car has? I do happen to have another phone to try but my note 4 connects successfully to my earpiece and tv soundbar and connected to my last 3 cars with no issues at all. But out of curiosity I'll try a Samsung s5 that I have.
  22. Pardon my ignorance but is this firmware update for satnav only or for Bluetooth also?
  23. Hi William. Excellent post there pal. I drive mine lime you do. This was told me by the sales guy who had training from Lexus on how to drive CVH. I'm chuffed wirh it's economy too. Way better than my previous car (Ford Mondeo titanium x sport ecoboost ) but that did have tons of torque and 240hp but it's auto box was really very good. No knocks bangs or judders but silky smooth and quick gear changes But my is300h is smoother with its transmission and suprisingly not much slower when ahem flooring it lol (well you have to play with your new toys don't you lol)
  24. Hi Mark I don't know what version software I have. But I'm waiting for the dealer to phone me as he said he would and I'm going to get him to book my car in to get the latest version for gratis.
  25. Hi Rayaans and thanks. I didn't have any Bluetooth issues with the 14 plate car I had but this 64 plate seems to have a glitch. I'm expecting a phone call from the dealer as he said he would and I'll mention about a software update. Today I thought I'd listen to music via the aux socket. I didn't notice a difference to music quality over bluetooth so I swapped back but low and behold even tho my phone was connected I couldn't get any music to play. I shut the car down and restarted it and guess what the music came on. Come on lexus Stockport I'm waiting for my call lol
