It's hilarious that Is250 F Sport never had that much difficulty recognising my voice. 🤨😀

2017 RX450h The dealer told me to try repeating the commands ten times to learn my Voice. This unfortunately didn't work. We do have at some point.

あなたはとても面白いです、そしてあなたは立ち上がるべきです😀 It's not just that sometimes on phone calls things go wrong. I'm going to go with the assumption it's a faulty microphone.

It seems no matter what I do the voice recognition does not recognise my voice. The funny thing is in an is250 f sport it was a lot better I recognise my voice. I was told by one Lexus dealer it's my accent. 🤨 I told him "What do I do to speak Japanese to it?" https://youtube.com/shorts/y78Mnncphfc?feature=share

Okay the Service department finally got back to me. It's a new RBLS4005 BOSCH S4 027 Battery. Next step will be to book it into Lexus dealership and claim on on the warranty to find out what happened and why?

Well I rang the third party dealership. And they said the service department would call me back. That never happened. 🙄 yesterday. And today I really didn't have the time to follow up. So what I'm going to do is take a peek underneath the bonnet and take a look at battery and call Lexus to check it's the correct specification. If it isn't the correct specification then the third party dealers going to have to compensate me for a new battery or some other arrangement. To be continued...

I've managed to set up the way I like now. 👍😁 I also put a how to. On my YouTube channel because really I could not find any clear instructions on YouTube how to do this. https://youtube.com/shorts/4eQKQG3pnKI?feature=share

I made a video and was doing it all wrong. 😁 I'll give it try next time I drive. At times metering mode was greyed out. 🤔

It's always on no matter what mode. I thought it was odd being that every review I saw on YouTube of RX the dial changed. Can you please tell me exactly how to change this?

I just had a thought about a couple of things that could be. 1. Third party new battery supplied by third party dealership is not sufficient to give charge to the petrol engine. I shall contact them and find out what battery they put in. The original Lexus battery was flat as a pancake apparently. 2. Alternator is not giving enough charge to the battery and is defective perhaps? 3. I'm actually driving too efficiently and not engaging the petrol engine enough to give sufficient charge to the battery. 4. This is a long shot but you never know it could be the air con compressor interfering with the charging of the battery somehow?

Being that it is a 2017 it hasn't got the magic dial that switches over to a different display play when in eco to normal. Yeah that's what I tried straight away no difference.

So so I've recently purchased a 2017 rx450h luxury. And of course being Lexus nothing goes wrong. However something old happened today that might be a sign of a bigger problem perhaps? Basically I was on a hill waiting in traffic had my foot on the brake the hybrid battery was only one bar from being fully charged. And instead of the RPM gauge going to 0 engaging the electric battery. The RPM was fluctuating between 1000 RPM and 0 several times until I moved off. I was also Eco mode if that makes a difference.

We're getting our IS 250 done for £345 plus vat at a independent. And here's the PDF for reference. Lexus - Full 100 Service Summary 0518.pdf

IS250 is coming up for 100k service. But I want to know what you get for the £645? 🤔

Hi so seems I've got a fault with Bonnet latch at the moment it takes two people to open the bonnet. When I pull the latch from the inside of car it feels loose with not the correct amount of tension. Any way to adjust tenstion of the cable? Also I'm having problems tracing the cable so any photos would be helpful. fyi 400h model.

Do have photo of how it's connected to the OBD. I'd be interested purchasing one for myself.

I've checked that fuse and it's fine no problem. Kind of strange because my head unit works. 🤔

Hi can anyone tell me the dome light fuse location? I suspect it might be drivers side footwell but I'm missing the diagram backing.

On my MK2 1998 GS I have a issue with electrical system. How it starts is usually the auto headlights don't turn off when closing the door. And then the electric mirrors and central locking and footwell lights don't work. I have found out that if I take the 5 amp fuse from the passenger side which is ECU and then put it back in its solve the problem. I would like to get this sorted out as it's a inconvenience. I haven't tried the new 5 amp fuse yet.

Handy tip when sourcing mirco fuses make sure they are long blades as you can see on the right of the multimeter photo. Admin feel free to add as a sticky. 😏

Also if you're considering getting a hybrid looking to getting some catalytic converter security lock. It's happening a lot now and I advise you invest.. I am also a victim of the crime on the RX400h.

I expect them to at least try and inform me of anything they saw. After all if it was a different kind of theft and happend to them they wouldn't be happy about it right? But we tried to prevent it or seek justice it would at least make things right. But end of day Police budget cuts are really to blame here.

Well it seems my wife's Rx400h has been a victim of catalytic converter theft. Nothing new right? But I've been very disappointed in people. Such as the Police and people that were in flats at time of incident. Apparently someone witnessed crime yet they didn't call the Police or call the Police or do anything for that matter. I found this out from third party and have them my phone number no call. Also don't get me started about distribution of letter appealing for help from neighbours to at least help try and track down the thieves. N. Police haven't really updated me on progress. So I've most definitely lost my faith in humanity. And also looks like the RX hybrid will be sold as we really don't want to deal with another theft and even if we were fit Cat lock it's not a guarantee it would be a sufficient deterrent.

Lexus have an official eBay store in the UK they still supply spares parts and accessories for older RX. http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/LexusOfficialStore

Thank you I sent a message just now hopefully you'll get this resolved asap.
