  1. my dash warning light came on and the vsc light is staying on in my 01 awd rx300. any suggestions on what the problem is or how to fix. also the D for drive light went out. this is a minor point but obviously the light should not have to be replaced already my battery went dead about 2 days prior and I replaced wouldn't think that has anything to do with it maybe just a coincidence thanks
  2. will post some pics when I get a chance hopefully next week
  3. After too much homework and one returned hitch and a bad experience at Uhaul I finally got my hitch installed on my 01 rx300. I turned out very good. I ended up ordering online from hitchmart and got the hidden hitch 70777 class III round hitch for $127 with free shipping. Other sites were charging $80 just to ship. It looks very much like the factory install which my friend has and the hitch is well hidden. The key is to get the rounded hitch style, in my opinion the rounded hitch is pleasing to the eye. The install and wiring was done at a local rv shop and was around $150 including the wiring parts. the dealer estimate was $900-1000 for the hitch installed. I have on order a cargo carrier extension which I will load up for camping, as the rx300 does not have a lot of storage room in the back but this was my plan all along. I also have a roof carring bag for sleeping bags etc... so this should all give me plenty of room. the only caveat is the hitch was a little scratched in shipping, it could have been packaged better since it is such a heavy item. I debated returning it but was not worth the effort since the damage was minor.
  4. I am playing around trying to get my 01 rx300 to play cd's that I have burned but have been unable to I burned the cd in .wav format any suggestions?? I realize the cd player may not be able to play burned cd's but it is worth a try
  5. I just installed one on my 01 rx300. it was very easy but I recommend two people. they are just installed by removing the outside piece of tape and then you just press it on the only key is to make sure it is straight and centered I haven't really been able to tell how effective it is at keeping bugs off the windshield yet it does look very nice I also got a large roof back from weathertec and it appears to be very good quality I haven't used the bag yet
  6. My lexus dealer gave me a price for adding a tow hitch on my 2001 awd rx300 however he told me many people have blown their transmissions by towing too much. He said the real towing capacity is only 2000lb. Has anyone else heard about this. I did much research before my purchase and did not hear about this issue. Also do the awd models come with tow package but not the hitch, I believe the tow package has the transmission cooler, predrilled holes and a wiring harness but no hitch.
