Not expecting Mini figures, just better then by previous X5 and be nice if it could reach the advertised figures which I know they never do. The roof rails, interesting, must say I feel kinda nervous about it. I'm pretty sure I'll drive them into a low bridge.

Hmm interesting as 4 will do nicely. When the missus ever bring the car back I will check this out.

£729 fitted - Going to have to reconsider my options.

Will try another cable. Interesting you say Android can have more devices. The Phone section on mine has 4 slots, so I don't see you can add more and the audio has 2 slots. Be interested to know how you got more then 2 audio's registered.

Towbar actually just for bikes, so shouldn't be such a big deal. Definelty more money then i was expecting though.

rx450h gen 3 - Am I right that Bluetooth Audio streaming is a Max of 2 devices that can be registered? Aux in USB in centre armrest under the storage container -- I tried plugging a traditional iPod in there and it would not read anything, it was a 3rd party cable. Before I try find an original cable does it read iPods?

Thanks for all the info. Surprised at 30mpg average - I was hopeful that it was going to be more.

Those towbar install figures are scaring me a bit. I guess there no chance that I take the panel off and find a detachable tow bar point 🙂

@Herbie 2 - I'd actually seen your post re battery which is what got me thinking. Love your little socket trick. Funny thing is I own the same DBPOWER pack as I needed it often on my X5. I do really like your solution, although there a chance I am fixing a problem I won't have, so I will wait and see how she goes. But I'd consider copying your little trick if needed. Meanwhile I'll use the front terminal to jump if I have too, hope not. BTW - I assume the boot will open manual even with a low/dead battery? 4 - Totally get you, I did try EV mode and it jumped out as fast as I turned it on, seen the Lexus video too, think I'll just drive and enjoy. I also own a Leaf so quite used to driving and using brake re-charge so I'll continue as I am doing, although not sure I can have eco mode on, it's so slowwwww on take-off. @Barry14UK - Good stuff on tyres. What is techstream? Trust me compared to my e53 there is no rattle in the rx 🙂 @flookyk - Thanks for the towbar info, good to know it a ready solution, guess will have to just shop round for best prices.

Greetings, just picked up rx450h 2011 with 113k on the clock, seems in good condition, hoping it will do me well.

Hello - So this morning I traded in a 2005 BMW X5 which was totally battered, and got an RX450h Jan 2011 (not sure what get that makes me), it felt like pure luxury in comparison. I have done a little searching on the forum, but also wanted to take the lazy approach of asking directly:- 1 - Fitting a towbar? Options, Price, self install possible with reasonable DIY skills not a mechanic level however. 2 - There could be times where the Lexus is not driven for a couple of weeks, or that it only has a short journey once a week for a couple of months -- will this likely lead to a flat battery or can they be left fo a while without issue? If they are prone to go flat quickly best solutions? 3 - Tyre recommendations? I hear they are quite harsh on tyres, I can see from the MOT history of this one that there was quite a few failures due to tyres. 4 - Lastly - Watched some review videos, read some reviews but still unsure of when the electric portion kicks in, just wondering the best way to squeeze the eco out of this. Appreciate any help.
