I have a 2005 RX330 that I am going to use for my work car. I'm 5'10" 200lbs and the seats are very uncomfortable on a long drive. I'll be getting a new Lexus when I sale the farm. Ether a LS or the RX, if it has enough improvements. Does anyone know what other Lexus vehicels use the same seats as the RX, And which would have a larger seat, and if the new RX will have the same seats?

My VSC & CHECK ENGINE lights came on after topping off the gas last month. I took off the battery cable and turned on lights, two minutes later I put the cable back on and it fixed it. A lot of people replaced the oxygen sensor. Some on Avalons had to replace all 3 before they went off. PepBoys or AutoZone will put it on the computer for free. Good luck.

2005 RX330 55,000 MILES When changing the oil at 55,000 miles I noticed both ends of the deferential was wet with oil. I have an extended warranty so I dropped it off at Lexus to have it checked out. They called and said that the differential was filled with transmission fluid. (I taught it looked red) They are going to cover it under the warranty. I had Lexus service it at 5,000 miles, and had Valvoline change the oil at 10,000 miles. And then I started changing the oil every 5,000 miles. I had it back to Lexus about 4 times for headlight fogging, seats not heating etc. but nothing to do with the drive train. No one else has touched the car. So it had to be filled with the wrong fluid when built. Here's my questions. With transmission fluid being lighter weight than gear oil will the differential be damaged? Should any problems caused by this show up in the next 45,000 miles? Does anyone here works at a Lexus plant that can tells me how this was possible? ( I know a lot of people that work at a Toyota plant so I will run it by them.) And has anyone else found this in their car? Thank God I bought the 100,000 mile extended warranty when a friend was interested in buying it. But now we are thinking of keeping it for another 6 years and after my spouses truck bights the dust to start driving the RX to work 60 miles away. So I was hoping to get 200,000+miles out of it. I guess I will look into it close to the end of the warranty Any help will be greatly appreciated. Don

$5,000.00 more than the Rx330

I would recommend getting the navigation system it is very handy and will be a blessing should you move. It's very easy to use although I would like to see a few changes, but from what I've read they have the best system out there. If you can afford it go for it.

My sunroof didn't close right and when I had it in for service I asked them about it, and the guy said it just needed to be reenitialized. He held down on the switch for about a minute (longer than it takes for it to open and close) and that reset it. after that it has worked fine. I hope this helps. Don

I just got my 5005 Rx 330 and was told to run regular gas in it. The owner's manual reads " Select Octane Rating 87(Research Octane Number 91) or higher. For improved vehicle performance, the use of premium unleaded gasoline with an Octane Rating of 91(Research Octane Number 96) or higher is recommended. I Love mine and would only like a few miner changes, lumbar sopport for passenger , not having to press I agree at each start up of navagation sysyem... I hope this helps.

I have a 2005 RX330. I am looking at adding a plug&play Navigation Video Switcher with a TV tuner. I found one at AV Electronic, Inc. it's the only one that I've found that you don't have to splice wires. I would like to know if anyone has successfully added a Tv tuner to the Navagation system? Thanks in advance. Robert
