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?

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 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"?

i just had new yokohama avid v4s mounted on my gs. and its repeated leaked air down to 10 psi within a few days..

i brought it back to the tire shop, few times already, and they dismounted cleaned the lips, and sealed it with some gunk, and again it leaked in a few days..

no damage on the wheels.

the funny thing is that 6 months ago my friend with a older 1997 lexus es was having the same problem with her new yoko tires... it kept on leaking, and they repeatedly dismounted/remounted, and no resulution still.. very annoying!! also no lip damage on the rims..

the tire shop says its the rims... but why would it not leak with the old Dunlop tires for the past 3 yrs, and the next day leaks with the new tires???? if its the rim problem, wouldn't it leak even with the old tires???

or is it a problem with yokohamas on Lexuses???

anyone with experienced the same thing? any input would be helpful..

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

Did you ever get the 06 DVD bypass to work? If you have any tips/pictures, please let me know.

Thanks

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

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.

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
