  1. We recently got new smart phones (Verizon Motorola Moto X android phones) and discovered that they do not work with bluetooth in our 2006 RX400h. We talked to Verizon, Toyota, and Motorola and gotten nowhere. Lexus gave us a list of compatible phones, all of which are no longer available. We have one suggestion which was to get a specialty shop to upgrade the bluetooth/GPS system, but we can't find such a place. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions out there?
  2. Why does this website allow this ripoff to advertise here?
  3. The Michelins I have on my Camry are crap! They leak air in the winter and they have poor traction on wet surfaces. I've had both Toyo and Yokohamas on my 2006 RX 400h and they have given me great mileage and performance. My Toyota dealer gives me very competitive prices on tires and rotates and fixes flats for free. BTW, I use my Toyota dealer for routine service, minor repairs, and inspections. I only go to the Lexis dealer when there is something very specific to Lexus that they can't handle... like replacing the power seat mechanism recently. I save 25-50% on service and their coffee and bagels are just as good the the Lexus dealer's.
  4. Greetings from Eastern Pennsylvania! I have a 2006 RX 400h which replaced a '99 RX 300. Been buying Toyota cars since 1985. I also have a '98 Camry which will be swapped for a plug-in hybrid when available. I love the 400h and got great mileage on an 8500 mile cross-country drive in 2008 (over 27 MPH). I have a couple of issues with the car: the first is price of the GPS update disk (which I refuse to buy at $300+). I have found that using the Nav system as a road map is mostly okay, but I wouldn't trust it to plan a route. The second issue is the lack of a back-up warning beeper option. The latter is especially needed in a hybrid which is virtually silent to pedestrians walking behind the car in parking lots. The Prius has a backup beeper, but it only sounds INSIDE the car. What's the point of that? The dealer wanted over $200 to install a 3rd-party beeper. I finally found a cheap solution at a AAA store. It's a device you stick on the backup light lens which detects when the light goes on and then starts beeping. Price was $8. I also have stopped using Lexis dealers for service. One local dealer's price schedule showed 60K major service for $1,150. The same service at my Toyota dealer was $450. That's a big difference for the free bagels at Lexus! Okay, enough ranting. I look forward to getting acquainted with the group and contributing to the discussions.
