are you talking about the wires leaving the lexus amp or the radio ?

no i am just giving an example of what solution worked for me you might be able to find another motorola phone with the same pins on the bottom to match it like another style v phone

the es comes in regualr and coach coach is differnt rims,seats,carpets,some emblemsand luggage the gold or platinum packages are just dealer options to addd gold emblems or extended warrenty and other "value priced options"

i am suprised there are no previous posts i just replied to one last week try an open search in more than the gs section that may e the difference to get some point of views i say premuim and nothing else

the main question which seems to have been lost is can you stop the drl's from working yes it may be a relay to be removed but i would rather not be the one to get into how to i drive for a living and saying drl's are useless and it hides motorcycles are minor points of an argument to say the least the lights do help the studies are right and i don't even bother using mine in any vehicle i have i use the full headlights day or night once you cna be in a controlled enviorment and see the actual difference on the road you'll realize what it means europe has much better standards for auto safety than anywhere in north america and they don't make up stupid legislations like carb or the 80's style headlights, where every car has to have the exact same headlight for road saftey????????????? to me your idea of drl's is like the guy who thinks seatbelts are still useless ( especially since they have airbags

i am not sure but i think there are more to the wires than meets the eye there will also be a computer for the phone which it connects to and it controls the audio throught eh drivers door speaker and dimming the stereo sorry but unless you want to repin the connector to use the plug and harness then i think you are sol i had this problem a few years ago with motorola and there everything needs a different plug so now i am nokia and no more problems i even bought a newer phone and it all fits perfectly no issues

CALL THE DEALER make sure they will cahnge the belt ,as tey have to remove it anyway if not for free ask how much or just buy it of a few bucks and slip the tech a $50 an save some headache

just to be an !Removed! like so many people love to do( point out the tinest litte inconsistancy or rebuttle) lmao don't they have stuff you can just spray on the car and walk away lmao what else will they think of next for the lazy then agian i just wished all that stuff would actually work since i am lazy

try using your hand and using large amounts so that it can soak as much as it possible can then wipe off the seats you need to use when needed and let the others keep on soaking it up

i am not too sure who mislead you to think that the black or any lexus for that matter has no clear coat all lexus have clear coat unless repainted by a diy or macco type shop adn that would be an acrylic based paint , which is what rubbing compound is used for to brighten it the 3 stage paint is also not a 3 stage unless you want to count the primer but then all 2 stage paint ( base colour then clear would be a 3 stage) the pearls are added into the paint base as it is tinted then a clear goes over it acrylics where slowly stopped in the 80's and i am usre some manufacturers still used it like lada or skoda the only time there is more involved is when it is a show car and they have to layer the paint in order to get the desired effect like chameleon paint which uses a base of black after primer then the paint just applies right over it when used from house of kolour sorry someone mislead you to think that

no my seats are also black but lik i said it is a thought or really just a preferance of the owner yah i i did check the tub and it said solid formula

2 things you may have a slipping belt causing the a/c to think the compressor is locked up that is why the light blinks to indicate that the second is maybe a wire for the compressor lock is getting shorted out next time the puddle thing happens listen to see if the belt is squealing

i don;t think anyone would mind about pics i am wondering are there just jdm maintance parts or is there something else special about them as to some size differences also where did you order them from also why are you replacing all these parts

i am just wondering did you have a flat because the tire unseated itself at that speed? or was there a puncture in the tire

the 2 tone is a japanese luxury thing it is jdm like a type r honda they like there high end cars 2 tone i like it on some cars but i do prefer mine in one colour as i am going for a slightly sporty but luxury ride so where are the pics of the before the damage i want to see some metal carnage

i regards to the coco butter i actually don't use the lotion or the creme i use the paste type one it is like wax you have to almost scrape out like cold butter then it just melts on hot seats i also use my hand to apply it not a cloth so it stays on the seat not the rag i usually also don't buff it off unless i have to but it still has never stained any of my wifes clothes and she wore white last time i did it and was giving me the evil eye of non belief as she was siting down asying this better not mess up my clothes lol thankfully it didn't so unless you want a less of a sheen don't bother wiping it just a thought funny enough the last time i did put it on 2 weeks ago it was so hot it melted like butter on a hot frying pan any little crease dried up real quick as it could be absorbed quickly i also ended up burning my hand because it was so hot i first got the idea from zymol concours waxes they are supposed to be slightly warmed int he palm of your hand then softly rubbed into the paint i did this once for my car and my hand hurt for days lmao high speed buffer from now on later guys, and girls if any are around

welcome to the club but what is the reason for having a site like cardomain it seems everyone loves to either hate on anothers car and put the car or its owner down or just say hey what's up nice ride, no look at mine and rate me?????? i am just at a total loss for the idea of the site especially since 90% of the cars are just bone stock with some stereo bits truthfully i could walk in a dealer and see the same thing

yah that was never stock just a very good install bezel

that sounds like a much better idea it was called "the darknight nationals " yah most pics are nice to look at but don't need to be lumped in there with other ES's

there is no bulb in the needle it is not servicable the needles can be replaced by getting other good ones from ebay or a junk yard the backlighting bulbs ( illumintae behind the cluster for km/m and others) can be replaced by removing the whole unit and opening it up then replacing the bulbs other wise buy a new dash from lexus get a good one form ebay and live with a different milage or send it to some guy in the states who want 550 usd to change the needles i personally think the guy who is changing the needles is an !Removed! to be charging that much it is almost the price of a new cluster( oh yah it may happen again also) the choice is yours

are you sure that much of the car is actual leather? most cars from lexus if not all have vinyl ( leatherette) on the sides and rear of the seats and usually never on the doors or center console either just wondering?

i am going to say that the belt for the alt and the a/c is tooo tight and only loosens when the belt expands with heat if it stays this way it will overload the bearings and cause them to fail take it back and get it adjusted

you need a new tranny and everytime you let the rpms get higher to move more you are eating away at the clutches more so very soon you will need a new tranny sorry

what else would you want to use it for?

is it just static or a hum? is the ant going up at the rear of the vehicle? i am not sure it it even has an ant or if it is built into the rear window
