  1. RX400h, you must have been looking over my shoulder. That is almost exactly what I have been doing all this time. Glad I mentioned those in response. Sometimes we can't see the road ahead for that flashing light in the rear view mirror. I will change my ways. Thanks for the feedback.
  2. Thanks RX400h for the prompt reply. I had always thought and was told (After many years of my own observations) that once a battery goes down, (not deep cycle), it's days are numbered. We have a couple of cars and it is always easier to leave the RX in the garage. We try to make an effort to get it out 'once in a while' but time carries on. Battery minder would be useful but when you think it will be driven shortly, probably would not put it on. Yes, batteries are costly!! I was wondering,,,, on a new battery about 1 or 2 years old, how long would it last in my car, in the garage, not driven? Is there a lot of drain on it? Thanks again.
  3. How long can a 06 RX 330 with 54000 miles sit in a garage and one can expect to start it? At times we don't start it for a month. Hook up battery charger for short time and then starts all the time. This time only 2 weeks and car will barley turn over then click, click.. Once a battery has had this happen a few times, does that mean it will not hold a charge any longer? Purchased this car new and this is the 3rd battery. Seems it has a small drain on the battery when it sits. Is there a reasonable amount of time that an auto can sit and still start?
  4. YES !! It works now. I did finally find it in the owners manual, but your explanation was much better. Thanks a lot for the reply. It's great when things work as they should. It stops at the right spot and forms a seal with no wind noise. Thanks again.
  5. I had to replace my battery. My fault. I knew how to reprogram the windows but the sunroof is a big question. When I try to close it, I have to stop at just the right spot or it will close and the tilt will go up. When I close the tilt, it will start to open. All this while using the sunroof button, not tilt. I hope that this is not a dealer fixit. Thanks.
  6. You can try this: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/usc-3410.html I ordered the wax remover. In the future I'll mask more carefully and use a brush to clean off before it dries. Thanks for the suggestions.
  7. Need some help. I polished and waxed my Ford truck and thought I had masked off the door handles and bumper step pad correctly. Found out that some wax had got on the black parts. It doesn't want to come off. I tried paint thinner and a weak solution of TSP then used 303 protectant to bring back the color. Before I do the same to the Wifes RX 330, what will take off the wax without destroying the plastic? HELP!
  8. Unless I'm mistaken, it is free if done within the first year after purchase of a new RX. Doesn't Arizona has an 04 RX?
  9. Within the next couple of months or so I will have my first checkup (free oil change and so forth) on my 06 RX330. I was told that they will program the RX to my needs. I assume this is a free one time shot. My question to the group; what all is there to program? I like the doors unlocking when shift lever is put into park. It would be nice to know some of the items before I have to make a last minute decision at the dealership. Thanks Mike
  10. At 59 I am no longer punching the clock, by choice. Also by choice, most things done to my autos are done by me. Mostly change oil and polish a bit. Nothing major. What kind of records does everyone keep to prove you don't void the warranty?
  11. I recently purchased an 06 RX330 and for the Nav it is ver 05.1. Not sure about the exchange of disks but that sounds right.
