  1. Have you thought about a newer Is 300H? Is you want to change and improve what you have.
  2. Never seen the others happen, but when set on Auto (which is pretty much all the time), my climate control moves the temperature up and down, as well as change from outside air to recirculate and alter the fan speeds; to deliver the best outcome in the car. I have always considered that normal, hopefully I am right about that.
  3. As far as I am aware, the answer is no, there is no way of telling the state of the start battery (from within the car). Other third party equipment can be added to measure this. If you are not using the car at least weekly, Lexus recommend running the car in park for at least one hour, to ensure the start battery is charged. During this time the hybrid battery will charge the start battery. If you cannot trickle charge, then the car needs to be used as described above as minimum.
  4. I suspect the answer is no. The age of the car plus your system is not shown as a compatible system. Later CT systems can, but it is not really worth the effort, very little is actually available from the connected services. Pretty much limited to; sent route to car; find my car; and traffic congestion warnings. All the basic functions of Lexus link work but they are not that good. You are not missing anything.
  5. This is likely true. Later models have this function, it appears on the map or on the screen with the instruments depending upon your screen size and software.
  6. That would suggest that they are aware of an issue similar to yours, even if only seen in the US so far! Given that your car would not know its own location, perhaps they could at least check the issue that has been identified, if only to rule it out.
  7. I would expect a normal key fob battery to last at least 18 to 24 months, sometimes more. Lexus recommend changing every two years, so your experience is clearly not normal and indicates a fault. Over to the dealer.
  8. Perhaps your dealer should try to find out what the problem could be! This is not normal and they know that. Or ask them to replace the key fobs as they are clearly faulty, again this is clearly not normal behaviour.
  9. Sounds good. Read this. https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/warranty/lexus-warranty
  10. Have to say I have turned it off on my car, it becomes annoying in the end.
  11. I take it that this is not a Lexus Dealer! The 10 year warranty is linked and dependant upon the servicing having been carried out at a Lexus Dealer. Can the dealer provide proof of a current one year Relax warranty, provided by a Lexus Dealer who carried out the relevant Lexus service? The ten year warranty is issued year by year, based upon a Lexus service being carried out by a Lexus dealer. Hope this helps.
  12. Never experienced this but the following comes to mind. Use the Air con all the time, if left off it will smell when used. Empty the washer bottle, flush a couple of times, then fill with a nice smelling screen wash. If it still smells then the problem is elsewhere.
  13. Just replaced all four on my CT, the dealer (Lexus) recommended Nexen. Seem pretty good and the price was very good.
  14. Amazing how poor some of the locks appear to be.
  15. I was getting around 62mpg, last week or two now down to 55/56mpg. Cold weather certainly makes a difference. Now using heated seats and the heater, the engine is running for longer periods. Still pretty good.
  16. Ask yourself, if was a simple fix, why not sort it out before selling the car.
  17. The Bosch I have are very good and not noisy.
