  1. I live in the capital of the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We always had three cars in the house. Driven by my father, older brother and myself. We three have had over 9 Lexus since 2004. They are as follows by Year & Model: 1. 1994 GS300 2. 2003 ES300 3. 2007 ES350 4. 2001 LS430 5. 2003 RX330 6. 1999 LS400 7. 2002 RX300 8. 2008 ES350 9. 2009 RX350 and now the 10th one I bought yesterday is the 2004 LS430 Ultra Luxury model. I know we can enter the car without touching the key and even start the knob for starting without inserting the key BUT it's not doing it. Is there a switch to turn this feature on? If our 2001 LS could do it, why not 2004? Any help would be appreciated. Regards,
  2. I was a crazy fan of the LS since it came out in the early 90's. I have owned a 1994 GS300... then I got myself a 2003 ES 300 and now I drive 2007 ES350. My brother owns 2003 RX330 and my dad drives 2003 ES 300. We are purely a Lexus family.. and weall live together too. I'm the youngest one and tend to spend more and usually tend to get what I decide to buy. Sheepsan... Thanks so much for all the details and your time to write all the facts... After reading your comments I was so confused that I got up, went to the dealers and just test drive to see and play with the options of the car I'm confused about... so I tested two different LS 430s. I tell ya... LS is amazing... and I think I'm hooked on it for some reason... The power... the comfort... the smoothness... the space.... massager, cool box,. suide window curtains... clean history engine.... I couldn't stop drooling :) Thanks for all your time...
  3. below your steering wheel. You would have to literally bend down and look for it. Right infront of your knees while sitting on driver's seat.... this button tilts or turn your head lights in the same direction you turn while in motion.. i think I'm right... or maybe I'm mistaken with another button ....
  4. In one word, NO. Why shepsan? U don't like LS? OR going fom new to old is an issue... talk to me in more detail....
  5. How much mileage is on the LS, and is this car being sold by a Lexus dealer or a private party? Also, how much $$ are they asking, and are you willing to take a loss when selling your car? The mileage in my ES350 is 20K and I have an offer of $34K The mileage on the LS430 is 48K and it's for $37K Lexus dealers are the ones I'm dealing with to sell and purchase....
  6. Hey Lexus owners.... advise me with the following scenario... I have an offer of a beautiful 2005 LS 430, ultra luxury package which includes all the features like, navigation, bluetooth, rear seats massager, rear control unit (for ac, radio, music player etc..) in the arm rest for rear passengers and on top of all this, V8, 4.3L and 290hp and it just looks and feels awsome! pls note: it doesn't have DVD, mp3 player which I currently have for my ES350. Moreover, the warranty is an issue. Do you think it's worth for me to sell my 2007 ES350 full options FOR 2005 LS430?

  8. I used to have Moto v3, which I still do. I loved this phone so much that i bought it again but this time Moto razr v3i which just has an additional memory chip and iTunes like iPod type of feature. v3 connect automatically and prefectly well, it's just v3i which doesn't! oh well... time to get a new phone or switch back. Although in the lexus.com phone list and it's documentation it clearly says that v3i would connect automatically. I guess it's the phone not my ES beauty!
  9. thats no good! so a thief can drive off and i can stay happy with the keys eh? :)
  10. while talking on the handsfree, hit the MAP (voice) button and you will hear a delay in your conversation and hear the navi talking/guiding and again you continue talking :)
  11. Quite possible. The paperwork says they checked the fluid levels and everything seemed fine. So, I don't know. A new question for those with this similar issue. This may seem weird, but it almost feels like the transmission or engine or something doesn't have enough fluid. It's hard to explain, but it feels like the car doesn't operate smoothly when it is in drive and it sounds and feels different. Again, the only way to describe it is if you can imagine parts rubbing together without enough lubricant. If you're experiencing it then you'll know what I mean. You almost hate to put the car into gear. It was operating smoothly after I brought it home, but not now. You know, you almost have to live this issue, because explaining it is almost impossible... Everyday in the morning this is what happens to me with my car. I start the car. Supposedly reverse it, and then when i put it to D shift and accelerate. It accelerates fine but on the second and third OR third or fourth, the RPM just sky rockets from lets say 2x to 3.5x or 4x with noise and no acceleration and then everything stays normal. anyone with this issue?
  12. You can unlock it if you want. Lot of technicians in Saudi Arabia has told me this as I live here too :) and since the General Manager of Lexus is a very dear friend of mine, he says...warranty will be void if something goes wrong with the navi/dvd system here after it's wires are bieng played with some technician :) So I wouldn't recommend it anyway. I know exactly what people say...why have DVD if you can't watch it? Or why can't it be played while driving for passengers? It's a lame excuse if you're fighting this argument for passengers co'z half os the time, your eyes will be on it as well...and it's Dangerous as we all hit the "I Agree" button in the beginning :)
  13. My wife was holding the keys for me and I dropped her off and went somewhere else. After I drove off for 3 minutes I get this notice on my dashboard, that the key is not detected. Got scared, returned back ASAP and got my keys back. NOW, what if i drove off without the keys. How much time do i have or what happens?
  14. Yes. this is their design fault. Thats what the Lexus dealers told me. they said it should be taken care by adding an extra rubber coating around the doors and window area. I think this was quite a dumb mistake they came up with on ES350. I don't like it eiether
  15. I totally agree with Remas! I have seen a different type of respect you get all of a sudden due to the type of your car!
