Hi Guys,

Iam new to this forum and i am looking for some help regarding an issue i have with my 2003 Rx330. The issue has been happenning for the last 3 years.

While driving between 20km and 40km the car will not accelerate even though the accelerator pedal is pressed. It will hesitate for approx 2-3 seconds before it decides to acctually

respond to the accelaration. I have taken it to Lexus and they have update the firmware in the Transmission computer and the fault is still there.

If They reset the computer the issue disappears for approx 6 months and it rears its ugly head again.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue ? I would really love to hear from you.

It has done 156,000 KMS. it has had the transmission rebuilt because of a failure. They have also checked the Electronic throttle control at the pedal.

Finally after a few years of heart ache Lexus have admitted that it is an Inherent problem with all RX330's. Have you or anyone else experienced this issue?

      LS460 Folding Mirror Doesn't Stop.

      Hi. The driver's mirror on my RHD LS460 folds in and out okay, but when folding in, it gets to the stop position but keeps trying to go further, so it continuously clicks. Is this repairable, or will the mirror have to be replaced? Has anybody fixed this problem? If so, how? Cheers.

      Carplay issues with iPhone IOS 18.1 making & receiving calls

      Just wondering if anyone else has recently encountered the following issue: I have two phones now running with IOS 18.1, an iPhone SE and iPhone 16 and they both are having the same problem, i.e. when making a phone call, the party I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. I first encountered the problem with my iPhone 16 and at first thought it was the cable connecting to the USB-C on the phone. I went out and purchased a wireless CarPlay adapter which circumvented the problem. However today I needed to connect the iPhone SE and it too got the same problem in that when making a phone call, the person I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. Checking sites in the USA it appears to be a common problem. UPDATE: The problem did not exist using IOS versions prior to IOS 18

      Driving Light

      Hi Peter, After taking onboard your suggestions and a few good nights sleep to mull over options the new driving lights are installed and working. No holes were drilled into vehicle but I did cut a small slot into back of the larger plastic fuse box cover/lid to source power from jump start terminal. (12v battery is in boot of NX 450h+) The wiring was a little fiddly but not having to take the dash apart was a huge bonus to installing the XBB kit. Was able to ‘reuse’ relay base from wiring harness supplied with Ultra Vision lights. Fitted a 20 amp inline fuse as lights draw 13.2 amps total. Smart button works a treat so can have high beam on without driving lights. So glad that I found this forum when I did, Neil
