Recently been having this issue. I drive somewhere and all goes normally. When I park up and turn the engine off, the car immediately dies - as in no electricity whatsoever. But after a minute or so, it comes back and all is normal. I’m guessing my battery has gone bad or some connection has corroded but wanted to see if anyone has any better idea of what the issue is. For better context, the first time it happened it only took about 5 seconds for power to be restored. It seems that every time it happens it takes longer to come back to life. My car is being serviced at Lexus on Monday so I’ll just ask them to give it a check. Car is a 2006 IS250.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, how do you disable the LED? would it be done via the OBD port?

Great build so far btw, just curious if I was to get VLAND's how would I go about getting the auto levelling to work. I saw that video of that convertible but it looked like they replaced the motor?? Also ive got the radar cruise on my car which I don't want to lose so I can't pull the AFS Fuse??

Not sure about the RX's but the IS250's were prone to this due to carbon build up. As others said for you it is likely a faulty injector.

Getting these fitted tomorrow along with some new ball joints. Will update after!

My 55 plate 250 is fitted with it but I think its super rare in the uk for some reason.

@H3XME Nice!! Unrelated to this topic but you wouldn't happen to know about the adaptive radar cruise control option? Just curious as the only other people that I know who have it on their 250 are in other countries.

hi. yes everything else that I use works perfectly including gps. just this for some reason.

Hey everyone. I was looking through my nav system and noticed the calendar isn’t pulling the date down correctly - in fact there’s no date at all. Anyone know how to set it?

Ideally both - but most importantly the left side (passenger) as that one has completely shattered.

@Linas.PHi, do you have anti-glare auto dimming mirrors. If so i am interested in the passenger side mirror (just the glass)

@Neiloohhh I just understood what you meant. You are right the mirror unit has two harness connectors if it has auto-dimming. Unfortunately the one I ordered doesn’t have this - seems to be a rare feature as nobody is selling one that does.

Never mind i just checked now. I clearly wasn't paying attention last time. Here's what it looked like. As you can see there four wires in total - two for the heating and two (the harness) for the anti-glare.

You might be right. When i had a look I think I saw 2 connections but i assumed it was just positive and negative for the heating element - didn't really pay much attention to it at the time. I'll have another closer look tomorrow.

LEXUS IS250 SE-L 2006 Hi everyone. I recently cracked my exterior mirror and need to replace it. My car was fitted with auto dimming mirrors and I understand that not all cars got that feature. I have ordered the mirror from a scrapped car and am now wondering if my car requires a certain mirror - are there two different mirror types for this model (one with dimming and one without)? lexuspartsdirect.co.uk suggests that there is one universal mirror for all.
