that used to be a problem in the old lexi, but newer ones have the antenna built into the r. window. older ones now matter what you did the am recp. was horrible.

i drive mine everyday with 4 mean !Removed! snow tires. foes like an absolute tank in the snow.

I have a 2001 GS300 which happens to be the greatest car that I have owned. I have it for just over a year and the bumper to bumper warranty just ran out in November. When I have the radio on either AM or FM  and I turn on the rear window defroster the interference in the radio is such that you  have to turn it off until the window is defrosted.    Anyone ever have this problem or know of a fix?

common toyota problem, only fix i know is to replace the rear window. maybe someone else has had better luck with another repair procedure.

How much are you looking to spend?

not sure? but i do know that i don't want to do any modifications. just sort of a plug and play deal :D

Hey anthonyiez!

I am located in the pgh area and would LOVE to stop by your shop and get you to possibly fix this prob 4 me!  It has been WAY TOO LONG trying 2 get this prob fixed and I just want my baby to get back to a smooth ride.... I dont believe in that hooey bout having 2 trade-off a smooth ride 4 a out-of-balance ride just because of aftermarket rims...I have had MANY OTHER VEHICLES and ALL OF THEM have had aftermarket wheels put on them... and my ride was NEVER sacrificed... to me the rim conspiracy is just a way 4 the dealers 2 get ppl 2 buy their "cheap" overpriced wheels...

One prob though... I have balancing compound in my tires... one of the last ditch efforts I tried in order to get the prob under wraps... is there any way to get that off the tire and get the tires balanced without it?

the tire needs to be removed from the rim and the compound cleaned out. remount the wheel and balance away. what size rims do you have?

tire pressure shouldn't make a difference. i would be looking at the quality of the wheel weight. most likely, the shop is not cleaning the rim properly before applying the stick-on weights. if the wheel is not cleaned then after a few days the weight is going to fall off. also, when applying the weights they need to be tapped ever so lightly with a plastic hammer to get the adhesive to bond evenly. drive your cars to pgh and i will hook you up :D

i wanted to replace the just the speakers in my 00 gs400 w/nak. can anyone point me in the right direction as to manufactures and specific speakers?

imo i would say that you might want to try getting them balanced somewhere else. i let lexus balance my gs4 wheels and they screwed it all up. i own a repair facilty, so i just went and bought a new wheel balancer (old one broke). new balancer is state of the art and has a special balance mode for custom weight placement. no vibrations at any speed. good luck!!!

i never knew that the gs came with a rain sensing wiper option.

i have a 00 gs4 with a nak and all i want to do is change the speakers. can anyone point me in the right direction? also if you could include specific speakers (brand, model #, etc...) that would be great.
