In Topic: Car Battery (not Hybrid Battery) Dies A Lot...

21 December 2010 - 10:56 AM

Add me to the battery problem list. I mentioned it for a year to the deler and was told all was fine. The last 6 months I have to be sure the car gets turned on if its been sitting never use accessories. I'm shopping for a battery as I don't want to have to carry jumper cables anymore, and have been stuck several times. This is on a 2008 that has had the problem for over a year. Would not think of taking to cold weather in current condition.

In Topic: Any Tricks To Getting Better Accuracy From The Voice Commands?

Thank heaven for third party override systems.


I am new to this car so I don't understand what you mean by "third party override systems"?  What is that and is it an alternative?


The ability to plug in a module that disables the disabling of functions like NAV settings while the vehicle is moving.

btw... my system does not understand any normal sequence of commands with normal highway background noise. It is good for a laugh to those who have voice recognition systems in say a ford, and laugh at our lexus wannabe attempts.

Just Noticed that the tsbs pinned to this forum has the voice commands (and note the aside)

I am curious to see others replies on this. I have a 2008 RX400h. The voice recognition is so troublesome that I don't use it. I would bet that is the case with most owners. I have used several other voice activated systems without problems. Combine this aggravation with the deactivation of systems like NAV when your driving and I feel like I have IDIOT burned in my forehead for buying this car. Thank heaven for third party override systems.
