I brought this up to my dealer last week when my ES was in for service. He said there was a TSB out but I would have to leave the car because it will take a couple of hours. I couldn't believe this so I found the Toyota Tech Support site and for $15 for 48 hour access I went looking for myself. I found 2 TSBs, L-SB-0039-09 and TSB2646, that cover the IPOD problem plus other problems. I had the TSB, L-SB-0039-09 done today. IT SOLVED THE SCROLLING AND AUTO-START PROBLEM. This was the 1st time they had done the TSB and were a little intimidated on the 13 pages.
I called about 1300 EDT and they were just starting on it. By the time I went out and got lunch to bring home to eat, about 15 minutes, my service writer called me to say they were done.
I think there were 2 problems with my dealer doing the TSB, 1. They had never had to do 1 like it before, and 2. It wasn't really affecting the operation of the basic vehicle so they didn't see they need.
I also asked about updating the map data and was told they would have to order the parts and it would cost close to $500 to update. I said no thanks.
Bottom line is that the TSB, L-SB-0039-09, fixed the IPOD scrolling and auto-start problem. I am happy now.
Hope this helps.
2017 ES350 and the panoramic roof
in 2013 - 2018 ES350 / ES350h
Posted
I'm in the process of finding a 2017 ES350 to lease. I have seen a lot of different configurations in my search. I do have a question though.
I am very particular about the exterior and interior colors. Several configurations I have found come with the panoramic roof. I don't want it
but I may have to accept it to get the colors and other options I want. I just read that there seems to be a growing problem with Nissan vehicles
with their panoramic roofs shattering. I know Nissan and Lexus/Toyota are worlds apart but has anyone heard of any problems with the Lexus
panoramic roofs? Like I said i don't want an ES with it if I can help it. I just don't like the interior looks of the roof. Too many holes in the
headliner.
