  1. So, Techstream can't determine if an antenna amplifier has gone down?
  2. Speed limits are exactly that, a limit, not a target. Drive to the conditions
  3. Find out what the problem is.. Get the car on Techstream to read any error codes to eliminate hardware faults. Is there any firmware/software updates available for your model/year? Do other road users have similar reception issues around where you drive? Does the DAB unit automatically scan for better alternate stations?
  4. I'd be surprised if the emblem contained the sensor, usually it's simply a shield protecting the sensor behind.
  5. 90k isn't that great a distance and presumably still under warranty? I winder if it may be related to climate? Is it significantly warmer there than here in the UK, having said that most places are warmer than the UK!! ?
  6. Interesting. What was the issue with the hybrid battery? Why did your 12v batteries keep failing? What sort of journeys do you do and where are you located?
  7. Andriod app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.mylexus.lexus.com.mylexus&hl=en iOS app https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/my-lexus/id1162205259?mt=8 It is possible to send destinations to the car Nav system. It may be dependent on the Nav option your car has though. Definitely possible on my 2016 Premium Nav
  8. Many current Lexus models have road sign recognition and this can be linked to the cruise control for automatic speed limiting ... It will be interesting how the powers-that-be will resolve mistakes made by the recognition system? The usual caveat will be the driver is always ultimately responsible.. Look at the arguments around 'driver-less' autopilot cars. I can see an argument for limiting the V-max of cars but this proposed camera/GPS lead limiter is fraught with issues. There was a EU wide survey on RTCs and concluded vast majority of deaths and serious injuries happened at or below the speed limit.
  9. From a report this morning, the car will read road signs and warn the driver to slow, if ignored the car would automatically slow. This could be overridden by the driver applying firm pressure on the accelerator. Pretty much the same as overriding cruise control. There is no hard, fixed top speed limit. Volvo and others are looking to electrically limiting top speed to 112mph. The former is to reduce speeding, the latter to eliminate deaths from RTCs ...
  10. Be aware though cars first registered after 1/1/2012 must have a functioning TPMS of some sort i.e. direct (valve sensors) or indirect (ABS, rotational speed)
  11. The handbook suggests switching to outside air to defog the windows..
  12. Make sure the windows are really clean inside. Have you renewed the cabin air filter? Check the footwell carpets and the underlay for dampness.
  13. How did you get the shaded background to the text in your first post and not in your second post? Genuinely curious..
  14. Where have you cut and pasted this from?
  15. While people keep buying these cars (whatever marque), why would they?
  16. It'll run until the IGN is switched off, then won't start again. ...
  17. What drone is this? Is it peculiar to the CT? I have no drone in my RC300h
  18. "The Relay Attack Passive keyless entry systems, which allow drivers to open and start their cars without removing the key fob from their pocket, can be exploited using a technique called the ‘Relay Attack.’ Usually operating in pairs, one criminal will hold a device up against the car, to capture the signal it sends out to the key. It then ‘boosts’ this signal to another device by the front wall of the house, which relays the signal to the key inside. This fools the car and key into thinking they are within the 2m range of operation, allowing the car to be unlocked and started. Once started the engine will not restart without the key present." http://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/thatcham-research/pressreleases/six-of-the-11-new-cars-launched-in-2019-rated-poor-for-security-2850271?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Alert&utm_content=pressrelease
  19. Oh, should add, Metallic paint and Protection Pack (mud flaps, boot liner, bumper plate, rubber floor mats)
  20. Sign up to the My Lexus or use the mobile app and download the manual from there. Easier to say what was optional. Moon roof, Premium Navigation, Mark Levinson
  21. Not to my taste, neither are the blue footlights, sorry.
  22. I'm assuming the space saver was housed under the floor in the load area, protected from UV light? In which case there will be minimal deterioration surely? (Wouldn't it be an 11yr old tyre?)
