I think you do need a subscription. I called the 800 number in the iPhone Lexus app and a lady told me it’s 80.00 per year to turn on features in the app. One of them is remote start. Hope this helps

2005 GX470 with NAV when I try and turn on the AC or Heater, I get the following error message on the NAV screen "the external system is not connected check the connection of the air conditioner" the HVAC controls are also dark. So, I bought a used non-NAV controller of the appropriate model number for my year, unplugged from the HVAC computer (yellow box) at the passenger kick plate plugged into the Non-Nav. The non-Nav HVAC controller also does nothing. Any Ideas where to start. I cant seem to find a diagram to see it the HAVC controls are getting power...

Coolant will destroy transmission clutch packs in little time, hopefully you got lucky.

There are four pre-threaded holes in the frame and the bolts are supplied by Torklift. It really is a nice hitch and, IMO, better than Curt or Draw-Tite. Both of the latter are a single piece unit. The Torklift is comprised of four separate pieces, which makes it a bit easier to install. I put a Draw-Tite on my wife's NX and it was a bit more cumbersome during the install. I have a small utility trailer that I use for picking up items, such as lumber and other clunky items. I will be selling my 2016 Toyota Sequoia in the near future, hence the need for the hitches.

My new 2024 RX 350 is not allowing me to update/make changes to my seat settings. I followed online videos to “erase” settings by fully forwarding, reversing, etc. That did not correct the issue. It is retaining the original settings I made a few weeks ago.

Ok, thanks.

One would think it would be fine. Have you tried it?

I have a 2010 lexus es 350.. My problem is the opposite. If I open my trunk it may not close. The latch does not grab in order to close. Is there a fix to this? Or I need an entire replacement? Please advise, I haven't opened my trunk in months because I'm afraid it won't close.

You're welcome.👍

Good day all i am looking for a smart key card fob for a 2021 Lexus ISF 2021 I see so many on eBay but how do I confirm that it will work my car? dealership told me they don’t think it’s possible and won’t help. anyone here have done this?

My son (6'4") just purchased his grandparents 2001 RX300. The driver seat slide does work but in the rear most position his knees still hit the dash. Is there a way to get the seat to move back another 2-3 inches? Maybe a secondary set of threaded holes for the seat track to be unbolted, moved back then rebolted?

Recently had this same issue, the odor was horrible. My car battery was leaking, had it replaced

I have owned Lexus GX models since 2004 and now that Lexus has created this monstrosity I will need to look for an alternative brand. I currently have a 2021 GX 460 and I love the body style. They have not changed this rounded corners look since the inception of the GX. Now they created this thing that looks like a Ford Bronco and a Land Rover mated and had a child. Not only is this thing boxy and ugly, they also removed the reliable V8 motor and replaced it with a V6 twin turbo. I use my GX as an SUV. I travel in inclement weather. I haul things and I sometimes tow things. I guess the best option for me is to keep my 2021 until I die. I will not be giving Lexus any more money for a new vehicle until they get back to the standards that made them great.

Thought I would also mention there is a push button on the passenger side under the glove box that selects which set of tires you are using make sure it is plugged in and that button is in the correct position

Yup, same thing happening to me. Just bought the thing used and boom, these lights start showing up randomly….

How much did it cost you to fix the problem? If it’s more than the car is worth it’s not worth fixing it.

Hi John, Thanks for the info. I've been driving everywhere with this and I'm totally used to the shift mechanism now but that button is still a PITA. I don't want shutting it off to be automatic because the government felt there was another piece of my life they had to control. I'll end up rewiring it or reprogramming the code so it stays off. Because the lack of power is still a hard pill to swallow even after 5 months of driving, I wrote the Lexus manufacturer asking about options to boost HP via a software tweak or aftermarket option which I know there are plenty of. I received the expected response. They know the car is crap but still don't offer tuning and don't recommend aftermarket options because they don't do any research in those areas and it might void the warranty. Even Ford was able to give me a tune on my 2004 F150 so I would have expected a superior car company to have something other than "yea we know we built lemons but now you're stuck with it". On the plus side I did find out how to reset the trip odo. A little button on the left of the dash.

My default temperature is 75, but I want it to be 72. How do I change it?

Luckily found a fresh wreck on ebay being parted out. Before pics show same sag on the rear so a new set of KYB everything will probably do just fine. Front sag with the s h i t t y quick strut springs should be fine with all of the other new parts. Only has one side for the fronts available... damn, but as time goes on the Lexus-only parts for this year and model are getting harder to find. Damn cars just don't go to the scrap yards (not a bad thing) and I am NOT paying dealership prices if I don't have to.

If you do not want to modify your amplifier (take out line signal and feed that into an amplifier with 4 out) so you can use the 4 speakers you can find, there is another solution. Find 8 mid-range bass loudspeakers (eBay is listing more than 100) and modify (or have a pro do it) the doors. Can be made so it looks OEM, and the car will still have plenty of room for your legs. I had 7x10" speakers in my Honda Accord Coupé as the built in 6x9 were not giving the sound I was looking for and nobody could see they were not from factory. 8 speakers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/145753669626?_skw=8ohm+car+loudspeakers&epid=9032091292&itmmeta=01JCNDSGCSDJNMX4B7C0EKRZFH&hash=item21ef987ffa:g:UykAAOSwwB5mqPuX&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnA%2F5Ybjq8aFa1foNBfcMvW3CVEnVFwEv9EdMj9fo4chEd9N5xSJOebgLyohZx1M2RCeGAMzcuaRQ20b%2BUyqs2cfNYTMBgbJYcFifQcDaaDXABE%2B3%2FckwWC6ry7UKTVj0sd2cYR9p7agSLd6LqABer%2Bms8lpWb7zvZW9tAdNBHKkD4Mp%2BEPZQp0W3LKfmhv%2BBqII6H9jQoQRWcmyj0bb5hu6vjrRQUnBFPa1y%2B8JTchFqckcOOoHp6w2Kx98t9Y4FiPk6b8YivqfTYPiZMKrGZxyNcx6an8dcf7aYwkq32fXw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMvobmreVk https://www.ebay.com/itm/145753669626?_skw=8ohm+car+loudspeakers&epid=9032091292&itmmeta=01JCNDSGCSDJNMX4B7C0EKRZFH&hash=item21ef987ffa:g:UykAAOSwwB5mqPuX&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnA%2F5Ybjq8aFa1foNBfcMvW3CVEnVFwEv9EdMj9fo4chEd9N5xSJOebgLyohZx1M2RCeGAMzcuaRQ20b%2BUyqs2cfNYTMBgbJYcFifQcDaaDXABE%2B3%2FckwWC6ry7UKTVj0sd2cYR9p7agSLd6LqABer%2Bms8lpWb7zvZW9tAdNBHKkD4Mp%2BEPZQp0W3LKfmhv%2BBqII6H9jQoQRWcmyj0bb5hu6vjrRQUnBFPa1y%2B8JTchFqckcOOoHp6w2Kx98t9Y4FiPk6b8YivqfTYPiZMKrGZxyNcx6an8dcf7aYwkq32fXw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMvobmreVk
