    The only thing I would suggest is a Grom Vline2 if one is available for your car. Alternatively, have a look at this thread from a fellow member.
  2. Herbie
    Yes - even without Rayaan's answer.

    Great job and done very well. I've always been attracted to shiny sparkly things and would certainly have this in my RX, but my 65 year old eyes may be overwhelmed and make it a non-runner. I'm already noticing that my eyes don't recover as quickly as they used to after passing other traffic during darkness.

    Hmm.....not so sure about that. Dashcams are a great idea and I have a front/rear system (Viofo A129 Duo) in my RX, but I wouldn't want it built in at the factory because as sure as eggs is eggs, you can bet the replacement cost would be ridiculously and eye-wateringly high if they needed to be replaced. My Viofo system cost just over £150 and works superbly well. If I ever needed (or even just wanted) to replace them it won't break the bank and I would have a wide and varied choice to choose from if I didn't want another Viofo.

    Michelin Cross Climate or my own personal favourite, Goodyear Vector 4Seasons. The main problem is getting anything in the 20" size!

    Found it:

    Try to find a post by 'Hylands' who installed a Tesla-style unit in his. Seem to remember that it looked and performed brilliantly.

    Just sent a PM to you that may help, Richard.

    Just sent you a PM Gary, which will hopefully help. I'm not a big believer in coincidences like this so I'd initially say that something has been disturbed/knocked/disconnected and not reconnected etc., but also read the OBD codes to see if anything has been flagged up.
  10. Herbie
    Did they give you the OBD codes that have been flagged up? In my experience (and a lot of others both here and in the american forums) when the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree then it's usually a sign of the 12V battery dying. First thing I would do would be to go to a bettery place and ask them to do a load test on it, and then if necessary, get the OBD codes and tell us what they are.

    This^^^^^^^^^^^^ Climate Control does everything for you automatically to keep the cabin at the set temperature, which includes turning the AC on/off. Just set the temp you want and let the system do its job.
  12. Herbie
    Plenty here on eBay You can buy a fully assembled unit or just the sensor itself (just scroll down the page) or just the mechanical linkage if you know which part has gone faulty.
  13. Herbie
    As far as I'm aware it's a sealed unit and will need to be replaced as such.
  14. Herbie
    Absolutely worth it. As long as the battery passes the health check each year, it's covered by warranty for up to 15 years old. The Hybrid Health Check is free as part of a service or you can have just the HHC as a stand-alone for about £60.

    Never used anything other than bog-standard supermarket unleaded, or E10 as it's now known, in any car that I've owned and never had any problems whatsoever. If people are that bothered about keeping their engines/injectors clean they should convert to LPG as that's the cleanest fuel you'll get. If you have a super-duper engine then yes, super-duper petrol makes sense. If, however, you have a standard engine that isn't tuned to use the super-duper petrol, then it's just a waste of money.

    Disconnect the 12V battery (purely because I don't know what that yellow wire does), put some heat-shrink sleeving on one side and then either crimp or solder the wires together, finishing off by pulling the heat-shrink over the joint and shrinking it down. All high voltage cables/harnesses are clad in orange so I doubt very much that you need to take any special precautions for this job. EDIT: Forgot to mention that it's good practice to check the engine oil level every week; something which may have helped to sort this out sooner. Just sayin' like

    Ok, what about this selection? Sometimes just being a bit creative with the wording helps. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=remove+tailgate+trim+lexus+ct200h

    Should find something useful here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fitting+reversing+camera+to+lexus+ct200h

    Because I have a back injury (severe enough to get me medically retired from my job) I purposely stayed away from F-Sport models because of the sportier seats. I'm on my 3rd RX now and never felt anything like that and I'm about 18 stone.
  20. Herbie
    Yes, it's a genuine group and I'm a member but sadly not an admin, or I'd add you myself. All I can suggest is to either be patient (not sure how many admins there are) or just keep trying.
  21. Herbie
    I don't think that's available on this model year but if it is, it could be something that you need Techstream (or a dealer) to do.
  22. Herbie
  23. Herbie
    No it can't.
  24. Herbie
    They told me the same but when I complained and asked why my car here in the Northern Wastelands of Lancashire is considered any less important than those in the south, and why we always seem to lose out in the great north/south divide, a couple of days later I got a call from Lexus Preston to have the job done. It was done last week and took a couple of hours.
  25. Herbie
    No issue "with the amps" at all. However, there could be an issue with physical size and terminal post orientation so check those carefully.
