Other than in the event of a RTA; what use are dashcams? Do they go on recording when the car is parked and if that’s the case, what’s the impact on the car battery?
Picked up the new RX Takumi today and the drive home was way beyond my expectations and a marked difference from my previous FSport. I will give a fuller assessment after a couple of days.
Thanks I have spoken to Lexus Ipswich about the Navigation map and they assured me they have checked it and it is a 2020.
We’ll see about the WiFi issue once I get there tomorrow. But it seems most people probably aren’t aware of it’s existence in the first place
Hi Habu, how far did you get to unraveling the 6 months free WiFi in the booth. Have you connected to it or just using your phone WiFi hotspot Am due to pick my RX Takumi tomorrow hence wanted to be sure what questions I should be asking the dealer.
Hi Habu, have you questioned your dealer why your brand new car didn’t come with the latest map, and you are having to resort to updating it yourself?.
Do you have to pay for the update or is it a free download?
It is strange that your dealer isn’t aware of the WiFi box even though the six months free data usage is contained in the RX sales brochure. You need to register on the Lexus link app on AppStore if you’re a I Phone user. The set up is straight forward.
once the six months free data subscription is finished, you can either insert a data only SIM card into the box or use your personal phone as hotspot if you have sufficient data allowance on your phone contract
You are not alone Barry , I had the track pad in my previous NX. It is not bad as the press will want the world to believe. Yes it does take getting used to initially but once you adjust the sensitivity settings and you’ve used it a couple of times it becomes as easy as the pad on a laptop.
Hi Congrats am also expecting to take my delivery in two weeks time. Would be curious what you will find out about this little WiFi hotspot box. I suspect it may be similar to what I have read on the American forums where they get a free internet access for the 1st year known as Lexus Enform, and it reverts to paid subscription after the first year. Let us know what you find out
See this thread on Clublexus as such modifications are most common in America

Interestingly I’ve been told my RX Takumi is also arriving in 3 weeks time. I can’t wait hopefully all the Apple CarPlay software will have been installed from the factory.
I Agee with everything you’ve said. Personally I have not driven the new ES, but being front wheel drive I don’t think it will necessarily be the 1st option of current IS owners but I may be wrong.
The ES is obviously a step up however that is expected asit is a recent 2018 design. There exist a large IS loyal fan base in North America and within Japan and to some extent in China therefore I can only conclude it is our loss in Europe.
Yes the GS 450h engine was highly tuned compared to the version fitted to the RX.
i still miss my 450h seven years after I sold it. Especially when I remember how I embarrass one BMW 535d owner on the m25 in the days when there were no cameras
