Folks -- for over a year I was plagued with a tinny noise coming from my dashboard area (so I thought) in my '05 LS430. Had it to dealers. They took dashboard apart and insulated it. No help. Not long ago I found the culprit.. When I removed my EZ Pass transponder from the window, the noise disappeared for good. Case closed.

I've had this creaking noise in my '05 LS430 for perhaps 2 yrs; been back to 2 different dealerships on a couple of occasions each. They tried everything and everything worked...for a while, never more than 6-8 weeks. Hasn't anyone written to or called Lexus "home office" to complain about this. A "$65,000" car with creaking windows!!!! Ted.

I have a 2005 LS430 and plan to buy it out at end of lease next month. I can't think of another car I'd want.

Scott: thanks. Do you get volume on tel calls through only one speaker or all the car's speakers?

I have a '05 LS430. The sound through the speaker on bluetooth telephone calls is distorted and tinny. I have to frequently person to repeat what they said. Are others finding this to be the case? Let me know either way so I can determine whether it's my vehicle or a design problem. Thanks

I have a 04 LS430 and I would think your microphone is fine since it is asking you to rephrase. If your microphone isn't working, it would say something like "Voice Command Cancelled..." This voice command, at least for me, doesn't work too well. When ask NAV to go "home", it would reply, "FM radio", when I say "FM Radio", it would reply "AM Radio..." and I thought it was my accent but doesn't work with other voices (friends, family, neighbors, etc). Its not the Nav disk either, I've updated with most recent version but no difference was noted. Would love to hear what others have experienced!
