Had a quick search on the forum and couldn't find anything on this.

In my IS, when i engage reverse, an infernal beeping emits from somewhere, and suddenly i feel like i am driving a truck. :blink:

Does anyone know if there is any easy fix to get rid of this? I'm growing tired of the 'truck driving' comments from some of my car buddies... <_<

Did your dealer install any kind of reverse parking sensors?

I'm gauging from these comments that this is not an OEM feature???

The car is not fitted with any parking aids that i am aware of... and i CERTAINLY don't require such a thing *humph* :D

Perhaps i mention it on the next service then. Oh well!

If it's a manual IS200, then the reverse beep is standard.

from personal experiance, i strongly suggest you dont get rid of it, one day it will save your ass, as the 1st and reverse gears are very close together.............trust me

I Agree,

Leave it in, get over the noise . . . this beeper will save your ass. As the man said, 1st and reverse are very close.

As for your friends .. make them walk, if they don't like your lovely car for what it is den kick them to the kerb

I was thinking about that today actually when i was turning around in a carpark and switching from reverse to 1st... probably a good idea, as i am now finding i can jump through the reverse gate quite quickly.

So - leaving it there = Good advice - i'll take it!

And as for my mates, well they are just 'green' with envy anyway!!! :D

Well I think every1 here agree's then.

Hmmmmm, maybe Lexus/Toyota did do something right after all ay!

I have to admit, that beep is a lifesaver, I'm sure it would have saved me a bit of touch up paint by now, LOL. Damn good idea I reckon, and when others do drive it; they realise it aint your usual car and that they need to be lil more sympathetic to its charm and guts!

It is far to easy to mistake 1st and reverse, help most people who tried to get my car into reverse struggled so much I had to do it for them!!

Damn I love my car.

Gee Wizz Diane, are you saying that you almost had an accident. Now that wouldn't be a mark against the driving capabilities of the female gender now would it! LOL.

Well atleast you have proven a point, and saved yourself a couple of hundred dollars in the process.

Cheers

Stephen.

      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
