Sorry about my last message I was on my way out of town and in too much of a hurry. Actually I have just over 5000 miles on the car. I have not done anything myself but when I took it in for the 5000 mile check last week I saw that they aired up all the tires. I'll watch it more closely now. Who's your service advisor (name) and was the low tire condition noted on the repair order. I am beginning to think it is the wheels at fault. I know that the dealership's chromed wheels are factory wheels which they send to an outside vendor to be chromed - I'm thinking there may be some fault in the chroming process, because Today, I learned of another customer with the same air loss as us--and he has Dunlop Tires. I may wait until my 5,000 mile service to approach Park Place again. Next week I am going to see a Bridgestone tire dealer (a friend of a friend, who is supposed to be honest).

I also purchased mine at Park Place, Plano took delivery June 14, 2007. I see you also have Bridgestone EL 42's, have you been to dealership service dept about the air loss?

I took delivery of an LS460 in June (May build). When I purchased the car I added oem chrome wheels, which were installed the day of delivery. The next morning, I checked the tire pressure on all 4, with my tire gauge--all 4 were at 33psi, per mfg specs (18" wheels). Looks like everything is fine, but I do make it a habit to manually check my tires every month (always in the morning, after the car has sat overnight, so as to get a good cold tire pressure). When the car was a month old, I checked and all tires were low. I added air to all 4 and decided they must not have seated the new tires well--or something. But, in the past month, I have checked the tires each Sunday morning--and the cold tire pressure (using the same air gauge)has decreased each week, & in every tire. After the last check, I aired all 4 up again! The loss was 2.5 lbs in 3 tires and 3 lbs in tire four. The spare's pressure has remained constant. I am in Dallas, TX, and it is hot here this time of the year. That being said, usually at the first cold snap each year I would loose tire pressure in my prior Lexus models with the tire monitors--I knew, because of the monitor. After 3 months of continued air loss, I took my car to my dealer--they remounted all 4 tires and aired them up to 36 psi. I just checked the tires and all 4 are loosing air as before (approx 1/2 lb per week). I plan to give this a couple more weeks to make sure the air loss continues--But who should I contact "Bridgestone or my Lexus dealer"? __________________

Have any of you ever had this happen or do you have an explanation?

Yes Try it. also go to www.clublexus.com--do a search for Nav Bypass-- you will learn more ways to do the bypass

NO DVD Bypass yet--without buying and installing another product.

I think you have a phone problem. Your radio should only be mute while the call is connected. Also, if the caller is in the car's phonebook--his name will come up on the screen. Are you using Verizon--they have been disabling some phone functions in there system? I have an 06 LX and a V3 (Cingular) and it is perfect.

Press Menu, on the screen that appears, there is a volume button--press it and you have another screen. Here there are not buttons at the top left corner and bottom left corner, but put your finger in there and push--top, bottom,top, bottom--then a new screen will appear. This new screen has several items listed--just push and hold on the one titled "override"--it will change colors and BEEP. now push back and whereever else you want to go. Try it--it really does work! THIS IS NOT IN THE MANUAL

Can you please share the details on how to bypass the Nav system for destination while moving? ← A set of button pushes can override the lockout on most 2004,2005, & 2006 Lexus NAVs until the next time the vehicle is restarted by pushing the buttons in the following order: menu > volume > top left of screen, bottom left, top left, bottom left > override ((hold for several seconds until override is highlighted and beep occurs) > back. Destinations can then be entered while moving.

Per AutoWeek Mag. the LX is to be replaced in the 08 model year by a new model called "JX" -- a body on frame, 5.4 V8, rear wheel drive on a redesigned Tundra pickup platform

I have an 06 LX also and was wondering if anyone has done the DVD bypass on an 06 and if it worked--I can bypass the Nav system for destinations while the vehicle is moving, but it has to be done each time the car is started.
