Hi Trevor I collected my RX Takumi on the 22nd March so it would have come as part of the same batch as yours. The router can be found under a small hatch in the booth once you lift up the spare wheel cover see picture The Lexus subscription set up is however a bit more tricky as you have to set it up on the app , take your photo and set up direct debit subscription for minimum £8/month As others have said the Lexus subscription at 2G for £8/ month is not really value for money I signed up for it for like three months on my previous car but have not bothered to activate on this current car. I simply use my phone data allowance.

Welcome to the forum is this your first Lexus ? Did you get the hybrid or the LS 500. You will find a lot of enthusiastic owners here. Am sure you would find the LS an epitome of luxury.

I also picked up my new RX on 21.03.22 with a full tank of fuel from Lexus Ipswich.

My new RX Takumi (Sonic Titanium) is currently being prepared for collection next week. Lexus Ipswich have just sent me these photos.

I agree with you I used their free Wi-Fi for six months and thereafter turned it off. It’s a ripoff @ £8/month for 2GB and as you said they’ve locked the box to just Orange network. Thus the customer has no choice!

Maybe this is what you chaps need to do.

Andy do you mind to pm me I also have a new car on order and want to know more details and cost of this application

I’m Hertfordshire based, perhaps we are lucky here, but I travel to places such as Leicester, Coventry etc and reception is equally good

My radio is permanently on DAB where I get the best reception. I’ve no reason to use FM at all.

I had a late MG Montego EFI (with the talking dash) didn’t really give me much trouble. It was very fast and I enjoyed it for about eighteen months then bought a Rover 827 sterling with the Honda engine. I suppose by the time the late edition models of those cars came out the factories have ironed out most of the commonly reported problems. certainly I had good memories of those 🚘

You have a point there Linas “why would Lexus commit money to develop a short run TTV8” when they already have a V10 that can be updated. The problem I see is that the V10’s will fall foul of emission regulations in most markets forcing most manufacturers to go the way of forced induction with slightly lesser capacities. If you look at the latest products from AMG for example they are 4.0 litres turbocharged with mild hybrid pairing . Thus one can look at this story from different perspectives.

That’s good Alan hopefully after about 4 months of driving following delivery you can share such spreadsheet data on the forum. Though some my say such data will be a reflection of your own driving style but it should be shared nevertheless .

Good results for you and kudos to Lexus for waving the charge.

I have had both Dunlop Sport Maxx and Bridgestone Dueler on two different 4th Gen RX . The Dunlops were my favourite

I also have a vehicle on order with Stephen Eagell branch in Ipswich and their customer service is exemplary all the way, I have been getting a monthly update calls since November of las year. Perhaps your experience in their Cambridge branch is an exception to the norm.

This is hilarious Linas; are you some sort of Mathematician or photography expert ? 📸📸 Am amazed how the discourse on dashcam positioning got into mathematics of travelling speed and G-forces. 😂😂😂

Linas- you’re a genius how did you manage to inscribe the red frame unto someone else’s picture? I follow this thread on my IPhone and wouldn’t know how to do that

Generally the RX delivery timescale has improved. Ordered mine November 2021 dealer expecting car by March ending so am collecting first week in April.

It’s not a glitch; that’s the modern/ standard trend across all manufacturers since around 2017 or there about.

Paul; I thought at some point you were considering the EV6; what prompted the change of mind

These pics were released earlier today in Japan; no mention of the model designation
