I bought my car at 75K miles. Now after 1.5 years, it is at 85K. I think the brake pads must be changed before I bought the car because there is plenty of life left. I don’t know if the rotors warm or not when they squeal. My lexus service manager said it is normal to for metal brakes to make squeal noise in cold weather, but my car is only one make noise when I stop on the street. It is warmer (30F) outside today and the brake stop squeal.

My local lexus dealer disconnect the antenna and put it back. Before the service, Only the song title and album is info is missing, now I don’t get any music at all even after the resetting from XM Radio. They told me to buy a new antenna and maybe split the cost with me. So where can I get a good XM radio antenna with 2 wires now? I called the Lexus dealers and they don’t sell XM radio parts anymore. I play high end audio and prefer the quality of the sound, so I don’t mind to put the antenna on the trunk lid again as long as it gives me clear signals. I also attached a LS430 XM radio installation guide. Is it a big job to reinstall the antenna? LS430_XM_Radio_Installation1.pdf

I have a 06 LS430. My XM radio works fine until several months ago. Now I can still listen to all the channels, but the annoying thing is the word Antenna start to flash on the XM radio screen and I can’t get song title and artist information when I press Text button. I can still see the song title and artist information in a split second when I turn up the channel. My antenna is a black square unit mounted on the left side of trunk lid. Could it be 2 wires come out of the antenna, one is for music and one is for text and the text wire is disconnected/loosen to the audio control center? Any ideas?

I have a 06 LS430. I notice my brakes work fine in the summer, but in the winter when temperature drops to like 5F, it starts to make loud squeaking noise every time I steps on the brake. I brought my car to the lexus dealer and they couldn’t find anything wrong. They even cleaned the brakes, but that didn’t help. I even bring my car to Midas (independent mechanical shop) to check and they couldn’t find anything wrong with the brake. Any ideas? I bought my car in 2011 and my braking pads still have lots of life left. How can I tell if my braking pads are OEM lexus pads?
