Hello everyone,

Visited this forum one or two times in the past searching for info so decided to finally join up & mingle :) Big time Toyota/Lexus fanboy. May have met a few of you already (Danny, Shane etc).

Got my IS250 brand new in 2008 from Sydney City Lexus (Prestige with enhancement pack + sunroof). Here's some old dodgy pics. A perfect example of "stance" @ its worst.

Got it via company lease, so didn't want to touch it initially. Now that it's over I plan on giving it a bit of aftermarket loving. Nothing hardcore, mainly aesthetic. Have some ok 19's in the garage (from my CL9 which I sold) waiting to go on, but since my wife's preggers, I need to keep the car as comfy as possible for now.

Bit of background, epic Toyota fanboy. Mainly MR2's (owned 3 & played with a million). I have this silly mentality that I need a modified Toyota & a classy Lexus to match up in the garage. Kinda like Shane Gorilla actually.

My sentimental Eric Bana like "beast" below (was my first car). Been in a few magazines (Autosalon, Zoom etc), multiple engine rebuilds/heartbreaks. 330rwkw on pump fuel (5SGTE).

Got my Dad in on the act. He just picked up this new IS350X last month from Chatswood Lexus. Proud he has a faster daily than me :P I envy the DRL's & 3.5L 2GR. Really is a great car. Didn't realise they can outpace a BMW 335.

Excuse me if I'm a bit slow getting the IS250 to where I want it. I picked this up late last year with my bro, so between a pregnant wife, 2 money pits & 2 dogs, I can be a bit pre-occupied :blink:

Anyway, enough ranting & picture sharing. Happy to be here. Apologies in advance for any annoying questions that I may ask :ph34r:

Cheers,

      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
