Got my notice in the mail last week. Limited Service Campaign (LSC) 9LH. For RX 350s with the V6(2GR-FE) engine with Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-1) oil hose replacement. Good until March 31, 2013. Thanks for the info! Appreciate it! :)

Got a call from my Lexus dealer yesterday saying there is a recall for replacement of an oil line on my 2008 RX350. They said it should only take about an hour to do. Anyone else hear of this? Haven't made an appointment yet, but was wondering what the problem is.

I said "occasionally" if it doesn't catch up, I'll pull over and wait a minute. Most times it will catch up. The thing is, the faster you're moving, the longer it takes to catch up. If you're entering a destination while you're moving, the screen will usually "grey out" for a few seconds and then come back on to let you continue entering information. That's the GPS adjusting to where you are. It's when it doesn't grey out that the GPS will lose you, and take some time to catch up. That's how mine works. :)

I know what you mean! It is very quiet. Maybe we are getting a bit challenged in the hearing department. Sometimes my Wife tells me to turn off the directional cause I don't hear it. One of these days I'm going to find that flasher unit and see what I can do. It must be buried in sound deadening material! Can't be my ears! Ha Ha!

Same thing happens to me. Yes....the speed sensor is disabled while you're entering information, so the GPS sometimes gets lost. It usually "finds itself" after a while, but sometimes it takes quite a while. A drawback for sure. Occasionally, mine takes so long, I just stop somewhere and wait a minute or two for it to catch up. Bummer!

I have an 08 RX. There is a "Safety" function on the door windows that will reverse the automatic close, if there is something (like a hand or finger etc.) in the way. I have installed the Weather-tech rain deflectors on both the front drivers and front passenger windows. They are the not the "stick on" type. They slip into the window channel. The Passenger side will close OK, but the Drivers side will reverse when almost fully closed because of the rain deflector. The only way I can get the window to close all the way is by holding the "up" button, and not using the auto-up feature. Does anyone know if there is an adjustment on the window motor that will allow me to increase the closing pressure before the reverse feature activates? I know I can take it to the Dealer, but I trust myself more! Thanks!!

Did you check the spare tire? I believe it is also monitored.

Ha Ha!! Hope you guess my name!!

Thank You ZZ4, Bill How was the Install? The Nav override is a simple plug and play. The Nav unit is under the rear cargo area floor, next to the plastic Jack, Lug wrench, etc. tray. The unit for the Phone and Audio is also plug and play, but the radio and Nav screen have to be removed to get at the wires. Again, not really difficult, but more involved than just the Nav override.

I have an 08 RX 350, and this worked for me. I bought the Lockpick 3. Their e-mail reponse is usually slow to non-existant, so I found calling to be the best way to contact them. http://www.coastaletech.com/lockpick3.htm

Thanks....that's very helpful!

Do yourself a favor and call them. Their response to e-mail is terrible!! Ph: (800)507-2234

Does anyone know how to adjust the parking brake on an RX350? Or...does anyone have access to the TIS that they could post the procedure here? Thanks!!

I used this method on my 08 RX350 with success. (a) Driver and front passenger side seat belt buzzers (1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. (2) Press the ODO/TRIP switch until the odometer displays "ODO". (3) Turn the ignition switch off. (4) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. (5) Press the ODO/TRIP switch immediately (within 6 seconds) and hold it down for 10 seconds or more. (6) Continue holding down the ODO/TRIP switch and fasten the driver side seat belt. (7) Check that the odometer displays either "b-on" or "b-oFF". (8) Press the ODO/TRIP switch to change the display to "b-oFF". (9) Turn the ignition switch off.
