Blaablaablaa 😘 Just because when I have a device etc. with a functionality x I really want it to function no matter it is useful or not. It is also quite much easier to plan and save the trip in the lexus portal (even though it is quite ****ty) than type it in the navigation system. Now when the car is connected the trip is automatically downloaded. That's why. You don't have to use it. I will for now until I buy a new car with (hopefully a bit better) system.

I am well aware what Tesla's sw is capable to. Good for you. Go ahead and buy another Tesla. Don't get me wrong, I would buy one, if it would fit my needs. 🙂 I would HAVE to agree that the sw on Lexus is from 1990's or at least that's how it feels like lol. As a person who is working in sw industry this is like a kick in the balls. Back to the topic and as a tip for anyone else struggling with this. I finally got it to work again... There is an email + username for the Lexus portal. You are able to use the email (or the username) to login. Now, I have succesfully connected my car with the combination of email + pw, but now I wasn't. I then tried to use only my username (aka lexus id) + pw and TADAAAAA, suddenly it works again, like a charm.

Hmm... I've already tried to simplify my password but maybe I'll simplify it even more. It would be nice to register it with a very simple email also since inputting the username is a pain it the *****.

😆 But let's ditch the Tesla talk. I'm quite sure there is a forum for Tesla fanatics. I'm once again struggling with connection issues. Every now and then I get an error ID=00 and sometimes error ID=195. Dealer does NOT know anything with these error codes. Isn't it strange that there is verified resellers/dealers and yet they cannot help with error codes? - username and password are 100% sure correct as they have worked earlier - I can login into lexus portal and plan journeys and even send them to my vehicle - the problem is to a) login to the connected service, b) keeping it connected, c) downloading the planned journeys.

I simply don't get it. Why in the world they do NOT have a smart phone app where you could plan the trips, input a address, play music through, etc. The whole lexus portal is a joke. It is a pain in the ***** to get the car to connect and stay connected to the portal. Every now and then I have to struggle with it when I get some freaking error... And for you BIG surprise the dealers are totally lost when you ask them about it. Unbelievable.

This is really something... Everything worked like a charm (it suddenly started working after sometime I previously struggled with this) for awhile but now I keep on received a message about the failure of automatic download on sometimes I'll see an error of ID=00. Fu*k this lol

Please elaborate? What are you referring to?

Wow, now I suddenly got this message. I still haven't got a reply from the dealer what software this is actually referring to. I have this version atm VD12104B and so far this has been working very well.

Just did the replacement for both sides. All went well. Quick rundown: - space is very limited on both sides but it is doable with patience - you need to remove the filling pipe but that's a piece of cake when you know how to do it (just like 200h said and it takes not more than 10 seconds) - make sure you have ignition switched off and lights turned off as well (if you want to be extra careful you might wanna disconnect the battery but I didn't) - then just remove the cover (ignitor) and the plug - now you have access to the bulb itself and you may remove the holder clips - pull out the bulb and put in the replacement (do not touch the glass) - plug everything back in and you're done. Only thing that took me +15minutes was the fact that I dropped the broken light bulb to the bottom of the engine bay. 😣 In order to get it out I had to remove the air intake pipe to fit my arm all the way down. Easy job and it saved me 229 € compared to the quote from my dealer to change my bulbs (not my own labor included but what the heck, it's all about learning and new experiences). Edit. Oh yead, I got the bulbs from Amazon with original part number I got from my dealer (Osram 66440CBI). People were suggesting Osrams so I went with those.

Perfect. Will try later. Thanks a bunch. That's a quite tight slot so we'll see if I am able to wiggle out the xenon bulb without having to remove "everything" out of the way.

How in the heck are you supposed to remove that little clip? I know this is a quick little question but I do not wanna break the clip. I need to take out the intake pipe of the reservoir tank to gain access to xenon headlight.

PLEASE help I am getting frustrated since this is not working...

Yes sir, most likely yes. Many of us have already done it without any problems.

Did you solve this? I did actually get the connection to work initially but it suddenly stopped working and I simply cannot connect it anymore. Username and password are FOR SURE correct but I still keep on receiving the error ID 195. I have contacted my dealer AND SURPRISE they haven't hear about that code. Why I am not surprised...

Uh oh, I totally missed that post. Just downloaded it and will run the update later. Thanks!

At least based on the sw version numbers that seems to be the case... Why I am not surprised they didn't tell me there is a later version available. If someone has those later versions please share! If anyone wants to have the VD12103A version I can happily share it.

At least my dealer here in Finland said that this (VD12103A) is the latest for my nav at least.

I've owned one now for a good few months and overall I am very satisfied. I would like to get the steering wheel a little bit closer to me as the depth adjustment is in my opinion missing a few centimeters of adjustment. Another thing is that when using cruise you cannot really get your right leg totally straightened since the pedals are quite tightly fitted.

I did run the update myself and all went well. Haven't really noticed any major differences but at least the software version is now updated. UI might be a little bit faster. My local dealer would have charged 85€ for the update which took me like 10 minutes overall...

Hi guys and greetings from Finland! Anyone know if you're able to backup the old version (currently on VD12102C) before upgrading to newer one? I have everything prepared for the update to VD12103A and I'll probably run it tomorrow.
