    Lexus RX ‘my search’ as a first-timer

    CPO is worth it for the extended warranty, however, the Lexus RX is one of the most reliable vehicles money can buy. It's unlikely that you're going to need any major repairs during the duration of the warranty. If it were me, I would consider private or non-CPO and pull up a Carfax on the vin...

    Beat-Sonic offers a solution, however, it looks like they are out of stock until November. https://www.beatsonicusa.com/lexuscarplayandroidauto.html

    2017 Lexus LS 460 oil reminder light

    Hi Tom, there are two locations on your LS that display oil maintenance reminders. I'll give you instructions on how to reset / turn off both. To reset the oil maintenance data on the instrument panel you must: 1. Switch the display to trip meter "B" while the engine is running. 2. Turn the...

    4th Generation Lexus LX (LX 600, LX 700h) Megathread

    Exactly. This is going to be an entirely new model that sits above the LX.

    CarPlay - Shameful Lexus Behaviour

    No cite but a very reliable source. It's why Toyota/Lexus held off CarPlay for so many years.

    CarPlay - Shameful Lexus Behaviour

    It's a touchy subject. Apple requires manufacturers to release customer information for vehicles licensed with Apple CarPlay. The more expensive the car, the more high profile the clientele.

    Questions on buying a used Lexus RX 350

    I personally think the 2014 model year RX is the best value. 2010-12 model year RXs are nearly identical. The 2013 model year refresh introduced more user-friendly voice commands, HD radio, an improved navigation system (free traffic information), and better smartphone connectivity (ex. the...

    4th Generation Lexus LX (LX 600, LX 700h) Megathread

    The LX is the best selling Lexus in Saudi Arabia. I presume the focus group over there keeps asking for more grille.

    Lexus GS Parking brake problem

    Unless you are referring to the green "Auto" light, the only indicator you will see when the parking brake is engaged is on the dash. Some other Lexus models do have a separate red light that illuminates from the parking switch, but not the GS. It would appear that the function is operating as...

    Lexus GS Parking brake problem

    Are you referring to the function where it automatically engages when you put the vehicle in park?

    RX350 MPG

    If you want to improve your city mpg, keep it in eco mode and use the eco indicator as a tool to become a more economical driver. As you accelerate you will see the indicator fill up with the color blue. You want to accelerate as gently as possible and keep the blue in the "ECO" bracket. Also...

    2021 Lexus LX (including Inspiration Series)

    I don't have much info on the 22MY but we can expect the 21MY LX to receive a mild refresh.

    GAAAK! I'D LOVE TO SEE MY TEXT MESSAGES ON INFOTAINMENT SCREEN!

    It is possible but Apple leaves the function turned off by default (I'm assuming for privacy reasons). You first go to the bluetooth settings on your iPhone, then select the blue circle to the right of "Lexus NX Not Connected," and then select "Show Notifications."

    The Future of the IS Thread

    Anyone else think this could be the new IS in the background? Too short to be an ES and doesn't look like the current IS to me..... Original image here.

    Introducing the Updated 2020 Lexus GX 460

    This is disappointing but if I had to speculate, Lexus probably chose to keep the 8th gen system solely because of screen size. Every 10th gen system with built-in navigation has a much wider display. So Lexus had 3 options... 1. Keep the existing 8th gen system. 2. Redesign the dash to...

    Please help me decide which 3rd gen RX350!

    I'd go with #5 just because the 2014-15 RXs featured Siri Eyes-Free. You can hold down the off-hook (answer) button on the steering wheel and give commands to text people, read emails, play specific music, etc. Really convenient on longer drives.

    Lexus GX 460 Spy Shots

    Hate to disappoint but based on the spy photos I think it's going to look more like this. Probably a very mild refresh.

    Did Lexus cheap out on the ES?

    During the launch of the new ES we were told that Lexus is aware that customers/dealers are asking for folding mirrors and that it's likely the ES will offer it down the road. Also, not sure if you're comparing apples to apples but I have to disagree with you that Lexus cheaped out on the new...

    Toyota Land Cruiser Megathread (300, 250, Prado, etc)

    Curious to know if the new grill for 2020 means all-speed radar cruise control. That's one of the biggest setbacks for the Land Cruiser. The LX has it so I don't see why it would be difficult to add it to the cruiser.
