nutshellml

I have a 2007 GX 470 and my passenger side rear speaker is blown (the one directly next to the 3rd row seat). Lexus quoted me $300+ for the speaker, my vehicle is in warranty BUT I am overseas and they will not honor the warranty locally. Can anyone recommend what I should do?

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Thanks!!

OK. Here you go:

This site sells them, and specifies they are for "without RES." I have ordered a set, and will let you know if they are right.

Meanwhile, my 470 has Lexus floormats in it - the carpet kind - are they recalled?

Thanks but i think the difference is in the front seats, now don't ask why RSE changes the layout of the front seats, but that is what I have researched. When you go to your link and click w/o you only get back seat options... Some things just don't make sense, especially when the RSE is on the ceiling... oh well...

nutshellml, I don't understand what you are looking for -- the floor mats that Lexus withdrew from the market due to the safety recall? If so, lots of luck with that. Are you having some sort of emergency where you can't wait for the Lexus mat redesign? If you are, consider going to a hardware or home improvement store (e.g. Lowes or Home Depot) and buy a roll of adhesive backed clear "Carpet Shield" film to get you by until the redesigned mats are available. I will apply Carpet Shield film to our floor mats Thanksgiving week when I mount snow tires and remove it when I take the snow tires off next Spring. It's a really great product and I have used it frequently on home maintenance projects to protect carpeting in houses.

Yes i'm actually moving overseas in a month or two and don't have any carpets, so I really wanted the OEM All Weather Mats. The carpet shield is a good idea never thought of that! Thanks!

Now I'm confused. I, too, have a 2007 w/o RSE that I want to buy all-weather floormats for, but never heard that the Weather Tec is just for RSE models.

What difference can it make? They're floormats. Is the floor different between RSE and non-RSE models?

There is a difference go to the weathertech site an select floor liner for your GX you'll see no option for W/O RSE. Also emailed weather tech an they said "Unfortunately, we do not have liner for the GX470 without the rear entertainment system.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at 1.800.441."

There's a difference i believe it's on the passenger side, even lexus makes you specify w or w/o

I have a 2007 GX470 W/O RSE and am in need of ALL WEATHER MATS. Lexus is redesigning them but no one know when they will be avialable. Does anyone know where I can find them? in GREY? I really don't want to do aftermarket, they won't match up, and the WeatherTech Liner is only for GX's w/ RSE.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I have to put on a Bull Bar and Rear Bumper Guard on my 07 GX470. Can anyone recommend any good manufacturers? I see some on eBay but not sure of the quality. Any specifics I should look out for??

Thanks all!

This is a stupid question, but i just bought my 07 GX470 and when driving at night the accessory buttons where the tape deck are don't light up. I'm assuming they are supposed to but before i go to lexus i wanted to ask you guys. It's the SEEK/TRACK, PWR-VOL, AM SAT, FM, TAPE, DISC/AUX, TUNE FILE. all of those.. everything above lights up so i know it's not the dimming switch. They ARE supposed to right???

Yea I synced my phone to computer via bluetooth, so that's why I was brainstorming syncing computer/laptop to my GX470... Oh well, good thought... I'll just manually entry the few people I call most.

Yea, I was researching too, alot of people haven't had any luck... I didn't think about buying another phone to import the contacts, not a bad idea. Ever hear of anyone using there laptop w/ bluetooth to transfer? THink that might be possible?

I have an '07 w/ Navi and am having problems setting up / transferring my phone book from my iPhone to the car via bluetooth. ANyone know if this is possible and how? I read the manual, but no luck...

Thanks!

Hey, I just bought a 2007 GX470 and have some questions to the long time owners:

1) As much as I don't want to, I need to buy front and rear bumper/grill guards, preferrably chrome that are bolt on, anyone have an specifics or recommendations

2) Does anyone know of a way to 'hack' the dvd/nav so you can watch DVD's while moving? Or any other 'cool' ways to improve the electronics?

3) Does any know of a way to put a LOCK the or cable lock on spare tire? I'm bringing my car to an area where they steal the spares??

Thanks for any advice.
