Maybe it's just another ridiculous Lexus Safety Feature so you don't run out of gas

I have a 2006 GS 300. The specs say the fuel tank is 18.8 Gallons...however, when the car tells me I have 20 miles left (i.e. about 1 Gallon by the math) and I go fill up the tank, I can only put in like 15 Gallons. So in theory there is link 3.8 Gallons left when the computer is telling me there is only 1. Anyone else have this?

On some BMW cars they do not connect VIA bluetooth, but rather with a cord. If you can connect your VZW through a cord you won't have issues

They have had a fully integrated SIRIUS radio for some time. I bought my car in July of last year and they installed it. I'm not sure what kind of recall there would be...mine works perfectly except for the fact that half the song title and artist get cut off, but that happens with XM too

Is that really all they do? I can go to Jiffy Lube for $19

Anyone know what the cost on a 10K miles service on a 2006 GS runs?

Definitely - I mean how else will your car look like a total Ghetto Machine??

There's a very simple fix...... you ready??? .....get a pencil....... put gas in the car

i recently purchased a 06 gs300 but u r correct in assuming without a standard ignition that remote start is not possible. this was much to my dismay as it is getting colder. hopefully there will be some developments from lexus re: this issue ← The Cadillac STS has a push button ignition and comes with a remote start - so in theory, it should be possible

There isn't really a setting that should cause that - I'm guessing one of the 2 is malfuctioning (phone or CAR)

You don't need the dealer to do this - look in the book at the section that talks about LOCKS, and it will tell you how to program it yourself. The way I set it is that when you touch the DRIVER's Door, that's the only one that opens, but when you touch the DRIVER'S PASSENGER door, all of them open. That way, if I'm with my wife, I just touch the back door handle as I approach the car and still have the ability to only open the front door if I'm alone.

As an FYI you can always put 0 down on a lease. They will bake the costs into the your payments (only thing you may have to pay is first month)

I was charged 799 (negotiated down from 899) for XM or Sirius

Has anyone used non-premium Gas (i.e. 87) in their 2006 GS 300?? Any performance issues?

Why is that people like to make their GS look like a hoodlum mobile?

this part would be huge

Why don't you get yourself a nice station wagon with the wood panels??

The only thing LEXUS can do is change the lexus system to allow you to manaually enter in names. Verizon is not going to change their Bluetooth phone capabilities until (or if) they lose the Class Action Suit. The only real work around is to by a junky phone to program your numbers, that's what I do. (Dialing the number and assiging it to a ONE TOUCH button does not help you because you cannot enter a name and when you drive the numbers don't show up, so you have no clue what's stored on what button)

I actually got a method that works - I guess I should have posted it. I got a little bag (like the one an ezpass comes in) and lined it with NUMEROUS layers of foil. Then, once you put the key in the BAG the sensors stop working. (The method suggested of wrapping it in foil also worked, but this is easier for them to handle)

The setup is really easy, so there shouldn't be too many issue. Hit AUDIO on buttons to the side then either DSP or SOUND on the screen to set up speakers (left/right/front/back) etc... Everything else is just nuisance at the start. Regarding CDs, just hit the "load button" (once.. sometimes twice) until the red around the opening turns green. Then put Cd in label up. DVDs I dont know. By the way.. would be VERY interested in your opinion of sound. You can see my post earlier, but the sound in my GS300 AWD sounds like all the sound is coming from the dash-- no surround effect at all. Sounds worse than my $100 5.1 surround sound speakers on my PC! I hope u dont have same problem, but would be interested to know. ← Regarding the CD Load, if you hold the LOAD button for a few seconds, it will go into a special load mode that will allow you to put 6 CD's one after the other - as opposed to hitting load each time

Go to home depot, to the section where they sell the poles. Get one cut to the size of your trunk, use it to prop the trunk open. :D :D :D

I had one guy tell me it's a defect in the Motorla production line. In terms of the phonebook, I bought a cheap non-Verizon bluetooth phone on EBAY. I paid 30 bucks and then added the numbers (with names) into the phone and then linked it up to download the phonebook. The problem with not putting in the names is that when you get a phone call, if it is not in your phonebook, the caller ID is blank.

One of Lexus excessive RIDICOULOUS safety features. I have the V710 and it won't ring either - someone told me they get the E815 (the new V710) to ring, but I don't think that's true.

Except that ever time you come to a complete stop & start driving again, it beeps all over again ← I guess my question would be why would you drive without your seatbelt? I was OK with the comment about not getting it on by the end of the driveway (although I would put it on before moving ;)) but the stop and driving again assumes you are now way beyond the driveway. ← Because I need to stop the car for the gate to open and there are a couple speedbumps in my complex - sometimes I didn't put the seatbelt on until I exited the complex

My 2006 GS is actually at the dealer today getting SIRIUS installed - I'll let you know if I have the same problem
