Car: SC 430, 20K miles.

(This will lead into the DVD)

I was having slow starting problems over the weekend and yesterday the car would not turn over at all.

So I charged it overnight and went to the local Parts store to get a battery and found that you MUST go to

Lexus.

So, I went to the Lexus dealer and found that the SC430 takes a special battery due to the top mechanism.

The bill was $225 which included a "free" wash and wax polish plus a bottle of touch up paint.

While I was there, I asked about a GPS update and was told it would be $325 including "installation". Does that seem reasonable?

next time check around at more auto parts stores when i replaced my battery bumper to bumper ordered me one for about 100 $ got here the next day they do not stock out batterys

i replaced all my factory speakers with after market speakers 6X9 ma audio in front 4" ma audio in side pack panels and 8" sub with jl audio

It sounds great but when i turn up the volume too much it will cut off and then cut back on you will have to turn the volume down and it will be ok

Is there any thing i can do about that cutting on and off

Also i left my factory lexus radio installed i really want to keep it installed
