Hi Folks,

I am having issues with the remote control not locking or unlocking the drivers door. It started 4 days ago and it would simply not lock the drivers door and I had to use the key, by the time I had go home from work it would not unlock the drivers door either. All the other doors lock and unlock with no issues using the remote control...

Yes I have changed the batteries on both the keys and still doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Ricky - did you ever get it sorted?

Not wishing to sound condescending, but did you put the disk in the right drive? Not sure about the RX330, but on the RX350 the navigation DVD drive is under the floor of the boot - on the right hand side of the tool compartment. If you put the disk in the audio drive on the centre stack, that's not the right place!

Hi there,

Thanks for your inputs. I did put the disc to the right drive on the right corner underneath the floor of the boot.

Ricky, did you ever get this sorted out? Like others I don't want to sound condescending but you are aware that there is no button to push on the sat nav player, it is a slide that you move from left to right. To remove slide the eject button towards the front of the car, once loaded slide the button to the back of the car.

You may have tried this but in case you haven't have a go.

Cheers,

Btw, are you sure Lexus say 91 octane is ok to use ? I'm pretty sure my RX350 owner's manual says "at least 95 octane".

You made me think... on re-checking the manual (mine's a 2006 model) it does say at least 91 octane, but 95 is recommended "for better performance". I'll have to give it a try and see. We don't have 98 octane Shell around here, and the BP is always morer expensive thatn the others, so ll give the Caltex a go.

Loshio I have no doubt that you are getting better fuel efficiency but how much?? I have tried all 3 (91, 98 & E10) and I notice very little difference in efficency. On my last road trip Melbourne to Bega I got about 60klms less on E10 when the vehicle was running at 8.4L/100, I was getting 630-660 out of a tank. This was just cruising speed with the odd firm foot plant to get past the caravan conveys... I have previously tried 98 and I got all of 80klms further.... At an extra 12cpl in my opinion it wasn't worth it. Different horses for different courses and if you have the money and you want to spend it go for it.

For what it is worth I manage 1400 vehicles, most LC's and my account with Caltex is 450K p/m, anytime I talk to them about high octane fuels they grin from ear to ear.... I am sure they would be happy to see an extra couple of G's in my invoice each month.

Cheers,

I think I know where you went wrong fleetmanager. Instead of burning the disc image out of the ISO file, you burnt the actual ISO file on the disc, if that makes sense. What DVD burning software are you using? Nero? Haven't got it on my work computer atm to check, but from memory you choose something that says 'burn image' or somethign like that. Just copying the ISO file onto the DVD like you would normally with other files won't work.

Poisson, you'll find when you check the contents of the DVD, it will contain bunch of folders and various different files, not the ISO file on its own. The ISO file is a disc image file that contains all the files that are on the disc, sort of what the rar files are, except not compressed. You can even open it with winRAR, and you will see the contents of it. :)

OK thanks to everyone that help as I finally got it to worl. Danslex your correct, I did burn the image file to disc, but I also tried burning the folder and the contents of the folder, however this was through the windows burning tool NOT nero. It was only when i clicked on the ISO file that Nero booted up and started burning that it all worked. I have since loaded into the car and it works like a treat!

Thanks again to everyone!

Cheers,

G'day Fleetmanager,

The files I downloaded all took the form T_v15.part01.rar, T_v15.part02.rar and so on. You need a rar unzipping utility (do a search for WinRAR) which will unzip them and stitch them together into a single ISO file. It's the ISO file you burn to disk. I really don't know a lot about the rar process but it all seemed to work OK.

OK after 3 days of pulling my hair out I am still getting no where.... I have downloaded all the files, unpacked into folder with the ISO file inside, burnt to DVD+R and stick in the sat nav reader...... and all i get is "cannot read disc, please check data"

Has Lexus by chance updated the software in my vehicle to stop me from using a burnt disc? I only got it serviced 3 weeks ago...

Please help!!!

Cheers,

Poisson,

I downloaded ALL 15 files from rapid share, however they are all the same file with the same file name so which one is correct? Also when i tried to burn one to disc (it was only 2.9G) the vehicle keeps coming up with no map data. Do i simply burn the ISO file or extract to individual files and burn them to disc?

Thanks for you help mate, much appreciated.

Cheers

I have just come back from a trip to Tassie and my RX350 has at least 4 different rattles. The most annoying, which I have had from about 3 months after purchasing it is from the passenger door trim. It sounds like leather rubbing on leather. If I lean over and pull on the door handle whilst driving it stops, however not the safest way to drive!

Also got serious problems with the black paint work. My dealer has offered to give it a cut and polish however I am certain they are the ones that F#*KED it up in pre delivery, I am almost certain they had grit in the buff pad. The Lexus panel beater says that it looks like I have taken it through a car wash.... Who pays $80k for a car and does that? Idiots! Anyway they are certain that they can get rid of all the scratches and "spider webbing" with a really good cut and polish, however my dealer will not pay them to do it!

Other than that I haven't experienced any problems with the reversing lights being too bright, nor with the luggage cover. I must admit the car is without a doubt a bloody nice car to drive.
