Got Hankook on my ES. Very quiet and a good quality ride. 

Out of interest have you done a full HPI check on the car?

I had the same problem on another car brand. Newer cars seem to have changed to the NTFS file system. I dragged the songs off the stick re-formated it to NTFS put them back on it and all worked fine. My ES seems to read both file systems.

It's too complicated to explain on here and if you are not in the UK I'm not sure if it's the same way in another country. But you could try following these details from Lexus. https://www.lexus.co.uk/content/dam/lexus/nmsc/united-kingdom/owners/about-your-lexus/lexus-link/pdfs/Activation-Guide-MM21-Lexus-Link-Pro.pdf

That's a good point. If it is that, what can I do about it? Register her fob in some way?

If I get in my ES without my phone then it thinks I'm a Guest so I guess won't register any trips. I would think you need to add your wife as a second driver and use her phone to register the account on the multimedia screen.

My ES has started to report trips again, I did a factory reset on the Multimedia Unit which seamed to fix the missing trips. Still get the prompts to accept terms now and again but not every time. 

Did a complete reset and kept getting the T&C's coming up. What you have to do to stop it is after agreeing you have go back to the screen and reconnect to your account again and then it will go away. Even though you have connected the first time to the account it has to be done again after agreeing the T&C's . Not seen if it records the trips yet as been nowhere. What a bloody nightmare this is. Never had this trouble with car apps before.

Not tried that. I will have to give it a go as I still see no trips since 14th Feb.

I think it lasts over the three year warranty. Probable charge after that.

Mine has not been showing any trips since Feb 14th. Not showing on their website either. They have really broken it this time. Why must these Lexus app geeks fiddle with something that was working.

If you do it then the car location is not shown in the App, nor is the journey history. Needs fixing asap @lexus

Yes I did the update and now have the same. Complained to Lexus and they say the app team can't answer the phone as they have done an update and it clearly has buggered everything up. 

Insurance for anything has always been a postcode lottery. Cars being the worst hit.

I've completely given up on Lexus Link+

I tried using the + and gave up. Just use the standard Lexus Link which works fine for me.

Traffic Fine from Hackney in london.

A friend of mine just received tickets from Hackey council & TFL by someone who has cloned his plates. He had recently sold it on FB Marketplace.

What distance? 

45 mile round trip on A & B roads.

ES mpg is amazing. Took this pic after a run on a warm day using ECO mode.

Yes its very odd why there are two. The + has only had 1k downloads but the non + version has had 100k.

i have done that as well. Didnt work. will reach out to dealer tomorrow. I can see the DCM icon on the screen in car is grayed out. maybe something to do with that.

I am using the Lexus Link app not the Lexus Link +. There are two for some reason. I think you are using the wrong one. Try the Lexus Link not the + version. Mine is on an android phone.

I only persisiting issue is i am unable to access andf view the menu in app where i can remotely prepare the car with aircon/heating/sending navigation. i would need your assistance with it. adding screenshots from my app.

I think you need to logon to the main Lexus website and activate some options. That's what I did. Not sure if you can do this on the app.

Dunlop Maxx

Had these fitted as standard on my new ES300 and the roar was awful. Terrible tyre. Had to remove them and fit Hankook noise reduction tyres which improved the overall cabin noise from tyres.

Just tried mine (MY23) and as long as you crank the volume up then the speakers work fine in the back. It is very forward speaker orientated by the look of it. 

Had mine ceramic coated as getting to old to wax a big car. 😂 Just a quick wash with water only and job done.

The ES ( and the LS) look like nothing else on the road and will not be everybodies taste for sure.

You're right. It must be the ugliest car I have ever owned at the front but when I get in and drive it I forget that. Love driving it. Big grills,big wheels seem to be the order of the day. God know's why.

It seems you bought it, because it was unusual and uncommon, but that is not the same as being better build and more luxurious.

Wrong I'm afraid. First reason is I got sick of plugging in the 530e as it only did 25 miles on Battery (summer only) not the claimed BMW figure of 37. Secondly I did not like the low driver seat postion. Thirdly I had it two and half years and the warranty runs out in Sept. I buy new but don't keep cars above three years. Finally the BMW attracted the addional premium road tax total of £565. This ES does not as it was below £40k. I only do 8K mileage per year as I have a E Class to split the mileage so the road tax made the BMW expensive to sit on a driveway.

The ES was second choice to a Jag XF. There is an eight month wait for factory order for XF's. I was not prepared to wait that long. The ES was readily available and in the colour I wanted. I like big cars so the ES fitted that requirement. It certainly was not bought as it's unusual,uncommon or cheap.  As for whether you think the interior or anything about is not as good as the BMW as I have told you before that is your opinion. I am quite happy with extra things it has that the BMW didn't including a sun roof and other safety features. The BMW attracts a certain type of person and that became evident as I always had other BMW drivers either wanting a race or demonstrate how fast they could overtake or go round aroundabout. Don't miss any of that. Don't get that with E Class drivers and not very likely with ES drivers as I have yet to see one. 🤣

es300h feels a little down market compared to a bmw  5 series.

Just demonstrates how people have a different perception of cars. My BMW I thought was common and nothing special. Due to their success they are everywhere. Whereas I feel the ES has a more executive style and certainly not common. 😉 I won't be going back to a BMW either.
