I nagged to keep mine going for about half an hour. Told my wife, son and daughter that our break in the sun for tomorrow was cancelled as the plane was overbooked ! My 9 year old son started to cry, so I had to tell him straight away................but then we both kept it going for about half an hour longer What a sadistic bas&$£d I am NB - doesn't seem to work for me , but If anybody does find a workaround for the DVD player, I would love to find out.

I haven't got buttons, just knobs !!

I suppose I am gong to have to try this now aren't I? I really hope you are right tHomBleached, but I have just noticed the date :-) Only one way to find out though I suppose and the effort may be worth it ;-)

Cheers guys. Nice to know I am not on my own, or is it? Actually I would prefer it if I had a dodgy seal and it wasn't inherent in IS design. I will ask them to look at that during its first service.

I think you're right. I am expecting and hoping for a bit much. I am happy with 50mpg, but when the specs are higher, you expect them on your standard drive to work etc. I suppose we are not ever driving at a constant speed over dead flat terrain. i wonder what the stipulations are for test tracks? We all know that these ecu's can be tinkered with, but are mpg tests carried out by independant testers and on verified test tracks I.e flat? just hope Lexus are not found to be in breach too.

Managed only 50mpg at 70-75mph :-(

So it does. Thank you. I've done quite a bit of motorway driving lately.......... 1. Still only managed 50mpg at 70mph :-( 2. I also noticed excessive road noise coming from my drivers door/window seals on a 6 month old vehicle. That can't be right can it? I would expect better from Lexus.

It's nice to have to something to aim at in life. That might keep you going into the afterlife though.

Thanks Ed. No probs and I am running latest 5.1.1 lollipop, which I presume is the latest. I'll have a look on the Sony support forum.

Had another play today, but still no text read out. It does show th sms's on screen but when you go to open them it says something about a failed message transfer and won't read it out. Really annoying, as my z2 worked fine in all Bluetooth aspects

Forgot to mention, all other data transfers work ok, I.e. Call history, contacts, audio is ok, just no visual or audible sms or e mails. Sms is more important to me. Steve perhaps ?

Hello guys. Really annoying problem I have. my Sony Xperia z2 used to read out sms text messages and my Xperia z3 doesn't. The config is set up ok, but no joy. any obvious solutions, or do I need to check/update the car software ? Not sure what I am currently running. Is it easy to check please?

Probably teaching the old grandma to suck eggs, but the door mirror adjustment switch has to be set to the left position. good points all, keep them coming. Very informative, especially when you haven't read the manual.

I agree. I too did a 350 mile journey yesterday and I think I only twice had to manually switch them off again. Hopefully, You'll get used to them. I thought they were a pain in the ar*e for the first few weeks.

It must be my driving then Robert, although I try to drive sensibly on the motorway, keeping to the speed limit ;-) I'll try a reset next time I do a week of motorway driving and see if that helps. I tend do to a good mix of town, jam, motorway driving. I look forward to the more economical summer months, but I won't book my hols just yet based on the potential savings :-)
