    So, after Brian kindly shared with me the his car's VIN I asked Lexus UK about this situation sending them my VIN along with Brian's. This is their response: ------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for your most recent email regarding your Lexus IS 300h. We forwarded your further feedback directly to our Technical Department, who have essentially confirmed the response you have received from both my colleagues in that we are unable to endorse or support changing your vehicle from the way in which it was originally homologated. In response to your feedback regarding the VIN number you provided as a comparison, these vehicles were supplied with different combination meters at point of manufacturer. In this respect the supplier and therefore the hardware/software is not comparable. I appreciate this response does not meet with your expectations, however we as the manufacturer cannot provide any further comment or advice regarding modification from the factory specification. You may therefore wish to seek advice from and import /export specialist third party. Thank you once again for taking the time to contact us. ------------------------------------------------------------------- So basically it seems that 2015 IS300H were supplied with different combination meters at point of manufacturer, whatever that means...I really can't understand how this is done by Lexus...a car from 2014 is not comparable with one from 2015 when both are pre facelift? Do they change the hardware/software every year?

    The strange thing is that searching on internet you two are the first ones that I came across that can actually change the odometer. I'll meet with J this Saturday just to be sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's related with any other setting in the car which I really doubt. Thanks for the info.
  3. BrunoLeal
    Which functionality have you lost? Thanks, Bruno
  4. BrunoLeal
    Does anyone knows if I can downgrade the firmware? Additionally does anyone knows where I can get the firmware version VD12102C? Thanks
  5. BrunoLeal
    It makes sense. I don't think there's any perfect solution. My goal with this thread was just to understand how far Lexus allow to change this type of settings (either by ourselves or through main dealers). Thanks, Bruno
  6. BrunoLeal
    Finally a straight answer to my question... :) Thanks, Bruno
  7. BrunoLeal
    I couldn't wait and had to update the software now to see if that was the problem...As expected it isn't...software updated to version VD12104B and same problem here. Will meet J soon to figure this out.
  8. BrunoLeal
    Good point... :) I believe the car is able to know if someone is sitting in the passanger seat but anyway I was just wondering. I'm not sure how Renault managed this in their cars (not sure if they needed the key to be somewhere inside in the car so this would only be activated if you took the key with you... Anyway, thanks for the help.

    It's not rocket science. Not sure about yours, but mine when locks folds the mirrors so it shouldn't be that hard to know it's locked...
  10. BrunoLeal
    We will. As of now I'll wait for the sdcard with the new maps so I get the car software updated (I doubt it will solve this issue but let's see). If it doesn't I'll meet with J and see if by any chance he's doing something differently (again I doubt it as this feature is quite straightforward). Anyway, at least I'll have something to show Lexus Ireland that this is possible somehow as a similar pre facelift car is able to easily change the odometer. Cheers and thanks, Bruno

    Before and after you open the door? Usually cars lock automatically if after unlocking the doors the doors are not opened. What I was trying here is to move away from the car, after using it, and it would lock itself. I know for instance that Renault used to have a proximity lock/unlock feature with their cars. Thanks, Bruno
  12. BrunoLeal
    That's the normal procedure, thanks for pointing that out. What I mean is for the car to lock automatically if he detects that the key is no longer close to the car...
  13. BrunoLeal
    That's in fact a great idea. I didn't even noticed J was in Dublin! :) Thanks Michael, I'll contact J via private message.
  14. BrunoLeal
    I see now that you did it with your car in READY status...very strange mine just changes the MPH to KM/H
  15. BrunoLeal
    Damn...mine doesn't do that. What is your car's year? Also do you manage this with your car READY or how? Thanks, Bruno
  16. BrunoLeal
    Hi all, Does anyone knows if it's possible for the car to lock when we move away from the car with the key? Thanks, Bruno
  17. BrunoLeal
    Well, I bought it already. 50eur from ebay so no worries. I want the maps updated as these are from 2013. Thanks for the tips anyway! Cheers
  18. BrunoLeal
    Techstream can read the battery voltage?
  19. BrunoLeal
    I had that idea too, but after seeing some screenshots of the unit conversion option in thechstream showing only the option between kmh/mph/etc and after multiple Lexus dealers in Dublin confirming that it's not possible to change the odometer I'm losing my hopes...:)
  20. BrunoLeal
    Are you saying that you have an UK imported F-Sport and everything in your cluster is now in kms? I'm almost sure that my car doesn't have any option to change the odometer, but if you did it all the help is much appreciated!!!!
  21. BrunoLeal
    Soon I'll be on this version too as I ordered the 2018 maps. My current version is the initial from 2013/2014.
  22. BrunoLeal
    Can you send me the number?
  23. BrunoLeal
    When I change to kmh everything changes to km (including the range) except the odometer and the trip A and B options...
  24. BrunoLeal
    Does the car really needs an AGM type battery?
  25. BrunoLeal
    Exactly. And that's my point. I would expect Lexus dealers, even without the expertise inhouse, to be able to get all instructions from mother Lexus to do this kind of job. Bottom line is money they could get...
