  1. My battery has died on my LX470. Do you recommend a factory battery or is there something out there that can be store bought that is the best. Thanks in advance
  2. I also live in Mpls. I have a 2000 and took my vehicle to Mach 1 and they installed an Eclipse AV Nav unit. Others were telling me it couldn't be done. But it's been almost a year with no problems. Hope this helps
  3. When you had the pads replaced (I presume w/ OEM pads since you say a lexus dealership did the work), did they also replace the anti-squeal shims and put the special grease on them? The factory manual says the anti-squeal shims should be replaced when the pads are replaced, but they normally do not come w/ the pads. I had my front pads replaced 1K mi ago. I'm not sure if they replaced the squeal shims (I didn't have the factory manual then), but they don't squeal at all. What do you mean by special grease?
  4. Thanks for the help. They fixed it based on your suggestion
  5. What is a door pin setting? Where is it located in the vehicle. I'm thinking the alarm guys will ask me. How is it adjusted? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to avoid the insane asylum.
  6. I have a 2000 LX470. I had a compustar alarm and eclipse avn5435 installed about 6 months ago. Recently I had the stereo guys try to add a ipod adaptor to no avail. Since then, my car battery has dies, the lexus red icon for security blinks on and off and today the doors wouldn't stay locked and the lexus factory alarm keeps going off. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions. I could really use the help. Thanks in advance
  7. I have a 2000 470 and recently the brakes started squeaking at the end of a stop. I got the brakes fixed, next week same thing. I have 70% left on the fronts and the rears were just replaced. When I asked the service tech about it, he couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips. I bring it to a lexus dealership, so I would appreciate any assistance.
  8. couldn't agree more. I find it disturbing how it's that difficult to synch up amps and preamps to get a good partnership. I put a kicker amp in but am looking at taking it out because of its size and there really isn't a good place to mount an oversized amp. ADS speakers. Do they also make a sub? Looking for one as well. Nice talking with you. Thanks for the help.
  9. Jim, What's the model of your soundstream amp?
  10. I'm hoping that some of you out there are dog owners too. Having just bought a 470, I'm in the market for a dog barrier. Anyone know of a good one? Thanks
  11. Recently installed a navigation system in my 2000 lx 470. Had the nakamichi sytem in it. I'd like to put a new amp in but don't know what size. My service rep says the stereo system is 300 watts. Does anyone out there know what the speakers in a 2000 lx 470 are rated at? Trying to match the amp output to the speaker. Don't want to overload. Appreciate any help. The nav system is the eclipse avn 5435 if that helps at all. Thanks
  12. I have a 2000 lx 470 and the drivers seat is beginning to show cracks in the leather. Has anyone had their seats re-upholstered. How do you find out the brand of leather to use? Or does everyone just buy new seats. If that is the case is there someone out there that sells lexus lx 470 seats besides ebay? I just found this site and think it is extremely informative and helpful. Thanks for any suggestions you may provide.
  13. ccole@gbtrealty.com ← CraigCole, You have a couple of options, You could put a 02 ES nav system in which would be the easiest install. You could go with a 01 LX470 nav and get the 6 disc dvd/cd changer with the rear entertainment screen. Either way you would be getting rid of the indash cd. The ES system wouldn't change the ac controls and the LX system would incorporate the ac controls into the screen. I have both if interested PM or EM me. ← Can't PM you. Am interested in nav system. email me at bigleechild@comcast.net
