Yes very strange. 

In general most GPS system providers (including the none car manufacturers) provide free updates. There has been debate about lexus asking for a fee to change out a micro sd or dvd disc with updated map data on. 

Imagine paying for every Iphone update because apple deemed it so. 

Lexus need to show their customers some loyalty not rip them off continuously.

Oh the lexus police are on the prowl.

Removed my comment. You probably don't work for lexus, dont know anyone who works for lexus. It's a bit pathetic but apparently somewhere you class yourselves as grown up.

Please delete this and me. Prove me wrong and leave it..

I'd be happy to test my is300h radio/nav unit in your car if only to eliminate the car as the cause. Although I do live in hull which may or may not be near enough for you.

I reckon I am getting close to the same mileage per gallon as you are. 

As for evmode, I am long past considering it anything more than a joke. No one should have to concentrate on a style of driving to keep the ecu happy enough to maintain the selected mode.  It's ridiculous, and lexus should (if they are not) be ashamed to add this to their cars and tout it as a feature.

I would however like to hear anyone who has success with evmode. Do tell us (me) none believers in the so called technology. 

And what's the definition of cheap petrol. It doesn't exist in the UK at least. Its all expensive.

Can you post a picture of it as it it. Just interested to see the clocks which I assume is showing KM near the odometer milage?

I had a tpms issue with one of mine when I bought the car. The fact of the matter being that the previous owner never had one tpms replaced. This leads to the indicator being on permanently.

Then I had a tyre replace and asked for the tpms to be replaced too. This was a general run of the mill tyre place. This is pertinent since after fitting a new tpms. Indicator light still lit. "just drive around a while it will learn the new ID or the tpms" - utter rubbish.

I had to get techstream out and program it to the car inputting the new tpms ID.

Garages who changed tyres should know this about certain cars. But it seems they dont

Button looks like this

Sounds like mine.

I think the tpms pressure on the display came after my 2014 model though

There are no SW updates for the cluster that are downloadable. I had that confirmed when I had my issue with my cluster mileage issue.

I called the Lexus National technical helpline which anyone can call since its chargeable call. They are a very helpful set of guys but no update for my clock issue.

By all means call them with this specific issue. They (if anyone) will know about it or if there is a button sequence that can change it

I think thqy picture is grabbed off internet yeah??

Bruno I informed you how I reprogrammed the eeprom. Lexus wont be interested in that. They very much wanted to sell me a brand new cluster with '00000' on the clocks.

I would go as far to say they have no knowledge at a circuit component level locally. All that is at the R&D people at lexus.

I think IF there is a way to switch from miles to Km then they should know to process.

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Yes. I doubt that lexus made two different instrument clusters, one to calc miles and other to calculate kilometres.

Both algorithms for that will be on the same unit. Like the BMW example. The question is how can it be flipped from one to another

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

The eeprom stores the mileage.

I had to repair mine when I bought my car since the odometer was stuck at a particular mileage.

The eeprom is holds the hex values that are your travelled milage. Mine was knackered.

I had to remove the small surface mount eeprom, programme a new one with the correct mileage then solder it back on the board. To be fair I ended up soldering an eeprom socket to the board so I could easily remove the eeprom during the trial and error of getting the right hex values. It's correct now but need to take apart dash, remove socket and re solder the chip back to the board.

I'll get around to it soon I guess. For now the eeprom is in the socket working fine.

So heres the thing. So hex data on that chip depict km or miles. This infomation is not readily available. If it can be determine what needs to be changed in the hex it's simple then.

May I just ask. What's it defaulting to now when you turn on the car?

I have eeprom 93a66 for is300h fsport

This is in miles not kilometres

Well pardon me.

Thanks, didnt get a manual with my car.

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Really. That's sold. If this app let's me change that I'll do it now.

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Lexus should have called it 'drive away from home in whisper mode' and nothing to do with energy saving.

If all its good for is driving in car parks or away from the house quietly then they are lagging behind their competitors.

It's not faulty just (and it is my opinion) near useless.

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Sorry, what car is shown in my profile?

Not an is300h F Sport then?

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Is it me or is the ev mode (using the button on the centre console, identified as on via the dashboard) in the car utter junk.

"EV mode deactivated due to execcsive acceleration" even a two years olds foot could trigger that.

Basically the ev mode does sod all but quit at least little thing.

So I never bother with it but is it a gimmic or faulty or are other people's the same?

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

I'd get that looked at. I was on the motorway the other day and my is300h is quieter than the last lexus I had and that was quiet.

I got this car roughly 3k cheaper because it was repossessed by finance company from the previous owner. Then £250 for the second hand nav unit.

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Bloody lexus..... They gave the individual pressures in the cluster to more recent buyers of the same car.

Little things like that bug me.

My car came with no sat nav. They reckon it couldn't be added afterwards. Guess what... It can and was (by me) , small ecu update made it all work OEM style.
