You would think so, but no. The ultimate responsibility rests with the driver to make sure all details are correct.

You need to see if the car has the Bluetooth protocol A2DP because some of them don't and those will only handle phone calls, not music.

After 16 or 17 years of running cars fuelled by LPG, the tank for which was always positioned in the spare wheel well with no spare carried, I can say that that has never been my experience. Maybe the Kwik-**its and other 'get them in and get them out' sort of places do that but I haven't yet found a good independent tyre place that refused to deal with a gunked tyre when it needed a puncture repair. Two places I've used in the past charged an extra tenner for the time taken to clean it all up but that was it.

We never found anywhere in the UK but we got one from here. Delivery was very quick and it's a very good quality product.

If you have your car serviced by Lexus then the Hybrid Health Check is part of that service. If you have the car serviced elsewhere you can get the Hybrid Health Check as a 'stand-alone' service from Lexus for £59.

I'd say that it's under warranty so get them to sort it. However, I've been in the maintenance industry all my working career and if the fault isn't apparent at the time then it's extremely difficult to fix it. Best thing I can suggest for now is to record the start-up on your phone every time and then when you do catch it, post the video on here for starters so that we can maybe offer some help. Of course, if you do that, you've also got video proof to present to the dealer.

Yep, it was on my 2005 RX300 and as far as I know, it's in the same place for all RXs. It's sort of in the surround of the glove box rather than actually in it.

Have you checked that the power back door isolator switch hasn't been accidentally switched off? It's not actually 'in' the glove box but if you open it you'll see the switch here:

I got them from Wish but I've just looked and that particular item is sold out but here's just one alternative I saw from a very quick search

These puddle lights aren't really practical as puddle lights, but everyone who sees them is well impressed by them

Although I love my RX to bits and think it's the best car I've ever had, I do find that it's the opposite of Dr. Who's TARDIS. Look at it stood on the driveway and it looks to be a big car but on the inside it's really not, especially the 'boot' area. Floor to roof lining, yes, it's got great luggage space, but in reality most people will want the luggage cover on for safety and security, so measuring floor to luggage cover it's really not big at all. The rear seating area is no bigger than a standard saloon car and it's still just as difficult to get three adults on the back seats. It can be done of course, but no more comfortably than a standard saloon.

The door handle ones, as Peniole says, are really just to show you where to put your hand rather than actually illuminate anything. As for the interior lights, simply swap them for LEDs. This company are very good and supply good quality bulbs: https://www.auto-lighting.co.uk/eng_m_LED-Bulbs-1272.html I've not taken any photos of the interior lights in my current car but this is my old 2005 RX300 after changing to LEDs - no flash on the camera, just literally the LEDs:

All down to trim levels on different variants I suppose. My 2005 RX300 had them but my 2013 RX450h Advance didn't, neither does my 2018 RX450h Luxury.

You've obviously sorted it now but for future reference for anyone who's interested, a pack of 5 CR2032 for £3.58 inc. VAT at: https://cpc.farnell.com/gp-batteries/cr2032-c5/battery-lithium-cr2032-3v-pk5/dp/BT00878?st=cr2032 They're good quality and last well.

I recently fitted a Grom Vline 2 to my 2018 RX and so far I think it's excellent. https://www.gromaudio.co.uk/partfinder/product/result/?make=Lexus&model=RX&year=2013-2015 Have a look at my (poor) attempt at a review below: If that's not for you then there's also https://www.lsailt.com/ and https://www.lexionautomotive.com/shop-1 to consider. I like the idea that with the Grom unit you don't need to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and can actually download and run almost any app directly from the Vline itself. Of course, you can use ACP/AA if you want to but I just use the Vline now.

Have a look at these two: https://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface https://www.lexionautomotive.com/shop-1 Or there's the one I went with and I'm very happy with it: https://gromaudio.co.uk/

You concur with which bit Terry; he's made a few posts above 🙂 George is saying that the Thinkware T700 is the best camera out there and went on to list a whole host of things that it does, but at a high price. My point is that although the camera is undoubtedly great, it could be at least a hundred quid cheaper if it didn't have a lot of facilities that are basically redundant because they're already provided by other things. Speed warnings/limits/cameras are already in nav and mapping etc., and so on. He said it even warns you if the car in front drives off and you haven't noticed. Who needs that?? Three seconds later and the blaring horns behind you will soon let you know As I said above, no doubt a great camera but at £350 I'd be too frightened of some scrote breaking in to nick it and I'd need a camera to protect the camera

Fair enough P. I must be honest and say that my experience only comes from the SSDs. I was a self-employed computer tech for 10 years and amongst the professional forums I was a member of, SanDisk had a bad reputation so I just steered clear of any SanDisk products.

I would echo Peniole's advice except to say, stay away from SanDisk. They don't have a good reputation in the SSD market so I'd be wary about their cards as well. Much like Lexus don't manufacture wipers, batteries, brake pads and so on, Thinkware do not manufacture their own cards; they just buy them in and slap their own badge on. Samsung have an excellent reputation and almost always come at or very near the top in reviews and tests and the ones below are highly recommended: https://www.mymemory.co.uk/samsung-128gb-pro-endurance-micro-sd-card-sdxc-sd-adapter-100mb-s.html

You've never actually said if the washers are working or not. If they are then there's nothing to worry about. How many gazillions of lower-end cars are running around with no level sensor at all?

Cameras (or at least, hardwire kits) that have this facility usually also have an inline voltage sensor so that you can avoid this very situation, like the one for my Viofo A129 Duo shown below:

Are you sure that it's the sensor itself and not just a broken wire or corroded connection? If you're sure, have a look at breakers on eBay and get a used one or try these people here.

I agree that it should really be up to date (or at least, more than it currently is) but I haven't come across any app that doesn't like 8.1. Everything I've got on my Vline seems to work perfectly, although I do admit that I'm still exploring and getting used to it and there are areas of it that I haven't even begun to use yet.
