Seems a real shame to have such a beautiful car and paint it white. -

It's easy Steve. You can publish direct from the app - look for the little camera icon. See you have the same spec as me- 13 replies

With the exception of the awful colour scheme on the once beautiful wheels.... -
Ha!!! I HAD one of those, 87kW Evolve e-Force. Lovely car but charging all the time drove me nuts and obviously quality is in a different league. Pity the Lexus isn't full of the toys the Nissan had though. Went back to a diesel, BMW X6 40d M-Sport for daily.

LFA almost guaranteed. My V10 R8 was a superb machine and I adored the sound track but for some bonkers reason I changed it for a new Corvette C6 ZR1. The most dangerous car I've ever driven.

Second attempt Apple Car Play and Android Auto for pre-2021
K22MDL replied to K22MDL's topic in Lexus LC500 Coupe Club
The unit is readily available on Amazon BUY HERE and don't forget to order the two right hand outlet cables for audio and USB Power BUY HERE & BUY HERE If you are in the USA then the same item is available HERE, you get it a lot cheaper than us & have a front and rear camera thrown in to the bundle that you don't need. Leave them in the box. Mounting without ruining the internal leather work was a bit thought provoking but Velcro did the trick. BUY HERE Just run it along the top edge of the display, cutting around the power button that is on the top. If you don't, everytime you go over a bump the screen will probably turn off. Run the Velcro along the bottom of the display too. Get the angle right and it'll stick fine, almost gently jammed in. Run the two cables to the right-hand side and neatly tape them together to feed into the armrest where the audio is and USB sockets are. It comes supplied with a DC Cigar plug. I didn't use it as it's not right angle at the screen-end & therefore sticks out. Leave it in the box and don't bother. Use the USB-C to USB lead above to power the device. Yes to Wireless Apple Car Play and Wireless Android Auto. Better still, it auto-starts when you turn on the ignition. Some screens (I got through a few) require you to press a screen icon to start the process - this one you don't. The location for view isn't the best obvioulsy and is a compromise. However, the screen is big enough (10") to see all you want to see and with the latest verion of Android Auto (I'm a Samsung user) you can swap what you want to see in which place on the screen. Downsides? It has an annoying start up bing-bong tune when it first powers up. You can't turn it off but its only a second or so. To play your Apple Music/Spotify/Maps audio you have to select the input of the LC500 audio to AUX - this is easy - it's on the media screen. Just leave it there as Apple Car Play/Android Auto will handle all your calls. if you don't, then the audio gets passed through the devices internal speakers. Pretty stupid idea not using the cars audio system espesially for music!! Wouldn't need any of this if Lexus gave us the upgrade they are able to do to our infotainment system but for some odd reason don't offer it to the EU or UK. -
Didn't like my bolt on bracket for the last install so ditched it and purchased a wider display fitting it in front of the CD player. Works well and auto connects when I get in the car with my phone. Not the best view but leave on voice for Waze or Maps & and it's good enough. Plus the Voice activated Google search for Waze, phone, Whatsapp etc etc is a far safer way of doing things - and it actually works! Of course, if Japan pulled their finger out and upgraded the firmware of the earlier cars we wouldn't have to mess about with more screens. 20230519_224843.mp4 20230519_224748.mp4

Lovely garage Brett but you're missing four cylinders. Or your plate is.....
-
Ideally the same sonic or infra red with tan interior or structural blue but must be Sport+ pack. One will turn up then that will be me done for a long long time.
-
That is so gorgeous. Waiting for the right colour combo rag top to appear used and then I'll jump. In the interim and because I love a convertible, I bought my 6th TVR Griffith 500. Sill got the LC obviously....
-
The holder is still screwed to the radiator grill but the FourDot plate is simply held with Ultra strong double sided tape supplied by FourDot themselves. Ait going anywhere....

Farewell to the old warhorse... and hello to the new kid.

Congratulations on your new LC. I've had mine a couple of months but hardly driven it as I've been away. Like to hear your views comparing the car to your previous. Enjoy. -
Lexus LC500 in last week's Autocar magazine
K22MDL replied to K22MDL's topic in Lexus LC500 Coupe Club
And there's no way they could be unless they drove one for more than a few hours which is probably all Matt Prior had to form his view. However, he is an experienced car journo and compares with other similar set-up vehicles, BMW 8 series and F-Type V8S. (see 'Rivals') Reading between the lines though, I think he liked it and several of the LC's shortcomings/design features have been highlighted by owners many times all of which I willingly forgive for everything else the LC offers an owner. -
Interesting 'First Drives' for 2023 on the LC500 Sport+ with enhanced this and that. I'm sure Lexus only do a few minor tweaks to get free editorial in car mags. Interesting read nevertheless.

Lexus LC 500 Regatta at Lexus Edinburgh
K22MDL replied to ThomasLexus94's topic in Lexus LC500 Coupe Club
Beautiful, I'd only choose between this, red and silver grey or what ever trendy colour Lexus refer to them as. -
It was in 1994, looks very very dated now.
-
Yep, I had my first in 1991. Second 1992 and a Soarer direct from Japan in 1994.
