  1. I had same when i got mine could hardly get anything on at all and was very upset all this for DAB and it wouldnt work But i just did the retune and violla all stations working am really pleased with it It may have been tuned for a different area HTH Robert
  2. Hi Carl Thanks for reply I think you may be correct I had been to Hull and was on way back when i noticed it I was tramping on a bit and it was very windy as i recall and also i put some new blades on last week and they are not fully down i didnt realise that could cause noise but even the wife said are they the right blades they look different. It was just the motorway journey that i noticed it I cant hear noise on the B roads so you may well be correct Thanks Robert
  3. I am getting wind noise through drivers door and there seems to be wind noise coming from centre top of dash i thought it was from centre dash vent but i dont think it is as if i close it it is still there its driving me scatty is there a cure or can it be adjusted some way TIA Robert
  4. John on mine its covered by a flap next to the power point it also as a 3,5 plug as well But on my previous 55 gs300 there wasnt one so there was not many options apart from the cassette adapter this one is overkill Memory stick,3.5 plug HDD BT CD i use the BT when iam in strange place so i can use the CAMERAELERT app on my IPhone and music too you may need to get one of those gizmos Vaisitech that plugs into back of radio giving you BT and iphone i did think of one when i had gs300 but just used the cassette adapter it did work for me mind HTH Robert
  5. John I did this about 3 or 4 years ago when i first got the iphone i tried on numerous occasions to transfer them over from iphone but to no avail, i asked all over the place phone shops etc and was told it was impossible to do however i persisted and found the info on one of the US forums if i recall correctly . As to your question i have a gmail address and my daughter gave me a Honor 6 to try out ( as she works for a Mobile Phone Co) when i connected the android to the PC it asked if i wanted the Contacts Loading on from IPhones i said yes and they just came on. I then used the info to set phone up to car (Android One) and it just loaded them into car Phone book I then reverted to IPhone (as it is a smaller phone than the Honor 6 ) and contacts stayed in car i then deleted the Honor from system but it was 4 years ago When i got the 450 it just put everything in itself contacts and set it up to play music by BT from phone all i did was pair it and that was it Robert
  6. I too have that model and i am over the moon with mine the music options are endless as well as the trouble free motoring i am experiencing now i have discovered the gearbox options it fits my bill perfeclly
  7. The way i did it on my 55 gs300 was to get a android phone with my contacts in and transfer that which it did with ease then reinstall the iphone 4 i had and left the phone book still in the car system and it worked perfectly
  8. You dont think you have picked something up of the road that is hanging down and swinging like a pendulum or something hanging of and catching body, sounds weird to me or maybe sticking caliper that as got hot and cooling down as you stood i think i would have the wheel off and have a good look round
  9. It could be the fuel pump ticking there is a cover you can get for it part num 12606-38010 and 12605 its in two parts if you cant hear it in car with window up thats what it is
  10. As rick said its usually the rear screen with a damaged element Clean screen then boil kettle put unpluged kettle on parcel shelf screen will steam up then switch heated screen on and you will see the break you can get silver conductive paint from motor factors or some conductive tape cut it to width etc to make neat job and job will be done HTH Robert
  11. Well I Never Thanks to ZOTTO (Luigi) I had set the sound system for the DAB Radio And thought it was the same for all Sources What a Lemon I am and me who prides himself reading all manuals for everything after setting everything for the different sources I am amazed at the difference it as made eg on the CD I have put a bit more rear on and it sounds like I am in a Concert Hall Wow what a difference it as made the original settings were all over as i said i thought it was one setting for everything Still cant get over how i have missed that individual settings Thanks all who took the time to answer i am grateful Regards Robert
  12. Thanks all for your comments i did figure out that i could use the S position for the gears for braking but my point was leaving it in drive did not operate like the torque convertor lock that is on a conventional auto box i didnt think that it would of course and i have adapted my driving style to compensate this it was the ML that as me flummoxed i have since read that if you use dvd A audio discs it gives better sound but as i dont spend all my time now in the car its probably not that inportant i was just saying it didnt seem to be all that much better than standard stereo maybe i am getting on in years my ears cant distinguish the changes Robert
  13. Hi all its a year on since i bought the gs and as been trouble free in that time its returned good mpg i have not exactly checked it but as been in mid 30s just about all year. I thought i would not get on with the CVT after reading all the stories but has been a seamless exercise however just one thing used to get to me was the lack of engine braking coming up to junctions etc i found i had to rely more on the brakes than the downshifts that a normal auto box does but now i have adapted and its no problem. It is whisper quiet and pulls like a train when i want it to with just a subtle roar as it accelerates away having said that i like my cars to be quiet all the time if possible. There is one point though which is the primary reason for my post I thought when i got it " Yes Mark Levinson System " but i am not that impressed with it i dont know if i have it set correctly but with the DSP button in the rear speakers seem muffled if i switch it off it the sound in rear comes on so I dont think theres any problem with the amp i am getting on a bit and i do like the "Golden oldie Type" but i thought it would be better, i use original discs I have one MP3 disc in and i cant tell the difference between Normal Disc and Copied music i had a GS300 before this and i dont think The Sound is any different to the ML so could any one shed any light on this. TIA Robert
  14. And a merry Xmas to you john your knowledge astounds me
  15. Hi Anthony Yes last year when i had my 55 GS300 i too got the same dreaded lights (You Know the Feeling ") WTH a Lexus and a fault surely not however i took it to lexus who said Need a o2 sensor i cant remember price but it made me gulp but we will take the dtc off for you they did and it came back on on the way home i researched and loads of posts said Fuel cap i purchased one and it never came on again but i never ever let it get below 1/4 tank it just may be you are running on different brand of fuel they are sensitive Robert check this http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-3rd-gen-2006-2011/705445-2007-lexus-gs350-check-vsc-engine-anti-lock-and-skid-lights.html
  16. john it does sound like a tyre problem i had a similar experience on a omega i had a few years ago and it turned out to be a small bleb on the inside wall of my tyre, I wonder have you changed your tyres round front to back see if that alters it Robert
  17. Plastic egg slice is ideal for shoving the felt in
  18. Hi All Well i have had the GS450 8 months now and done 5k miles with not a hiccup apart from a slight electrical smell in the boot when opened dealer said its normal and nothing wrong but it is disconcerting does anyone else have this. Just an aside i was in the multi car park in Doncaster and was going down the ramps to the exit when a bloke shouted at me " to switch engine on and dont freewheel down here you will lose brakes and steering just to save a bit of fuel You silly pill**k plus you will knock someone down" i just couldnt say anything but must admit it did sound eery coming down silently especially in the multi car park i dont usually go to the high levels but couldnt get in on lower levels. But i woiuldnt change it . Robert
  19. Undo the door switch then retighten it, it did it for me no more trouble since i think the switch must slightly corrode
  20. Mine was like that a trip to dealer and he did it in about 10 min no charge needs to go on the computer HTH robert
  21. Hi All I too am with LV and have been for 10 years or so my GS300 was 327 which ould have run out in Oct 3 2016 when i got the 450 se L in feb I asked if i need to pay more the said yes £25 so i thought ok this will be no more than 400 when renewal comes in oct For the last 3 or 4 years i have had a high quote i used to ring and they said ok we will give you discount i think they may have played me at my own game by giving extra large quote then saying they will give discount but i have paid the price they want me to pay i am now in my seventies so i bet they are putting a load on me i have never had a accident in the last 15 years. However as yesterday was a nice day i decided that the wife and I would have a day out at Bridlington East coast (and a lovely day it was too) As i live in south yorkshire its only a 60 mile trip on the way home on the A164 which is a notorious road for Motor cyclists there as been a few fatalities I had just left Middleton on the Wolds 40 limit and went up to 60 the road is straight for about 2 mile but undulating i saw Two HGV artics coming towards me and to my Horror a motor cyclist overtaking them I stamped on the pedal I dont think i have had a car that braked as good as this did must have been the Emergency brake system ( well done Lexus) i did hear tyres screech but i think it was car behind me and thought Ok back end shunt and motor bike on my Lap wife screaming " BOB he is going to hit us" he just managed to get in between lorry and me i think he must have thought there was only one Lorry or there was room between them but there was a car between so couldnt get in i think is god was with him and mine for that matter The second lorry flashed me twice as a thank you i would have thought I reviewed it at home from the dash cam And it was more horryfing Just thought i mention it Phew Robert
