  1. It should all work from the stg wheel and if you push txt on the dash you can scroll through tracks and albums on mp3 or cd settings. Steve
  2. All fixed under warranty new ECU for the steering great service from Lexus...
  3. Lexus replaced the ECU that controls the electric steering at no cost - This is the only problem I have had with the car and it was fixed with no charge to me - Go Lexus.....
  4. Lexus have told me that the Computer is gone and they will replace it hopefully under warranty at least for parts if not labour. My car has now done 66000 kilometres I hope this is not when they start giving trouble as it has been great up to now. Another issue is that the aircond is not strong on feet when in the lower mode for heating or zircon, I can still feel heat around the centre vents hoping they can fix this as well. Steve
  5. no car is standard, no oil has leaked it just stopped working yesterday and had to tow it to Lexus scary if this happened on the freeway.
  6. Can anyone help, power steering has failed completely, car is out of warranty since April is there a recall
  7. It should play cd -r's with no problem as mp3's I have an is250 and regularly use burnt discs with mp3's Steve
  8. Can anyone assist with this. I own a 2006 is250 auto which ran out of warranty in April this year when I had the 50000 service. This morning my wife drove the car and came home, went to start and reverse the car and presto - no power steering. The P/S light is now on no leaking oil and it appears to have failed completely, no steering. Lucky this didn't happen when she was driving. I have looked around the internet and see that there is some recall and others are having problems with the steering and Toyota did a recall, shame they didn't notice this on the last service. I am hoping that Lexus will support me in this as it went out of warranty in April, does anyone have similar problems and have you gained support from Lexus. Regards, Steve
  9. I used a GPS which consistently reads 10kmh less than the speedo. I did this because numerous cars were overtaking me.
  10. I have recently read online that all Lexus vehicles have a garage door opener facility in the electronics of the vehicle. There are a number of confusing ways mentioned on the internet that describe pushing the 2 outside buttons and then your remote garage or gate opener to enable the feature after the indicators flash. This feature is mentioned in the list of specs on my car an is250 but I can't work it out. I also worked out that if you hold down the key unlock button that all windows and the sunroof open and vice versa with the lock button good feature if the car has been parked in the sun to cool it down quickly dispersing hot air. Can anyone help with the garage door feature. I asked the Lexus dealer and he thought I was from Mars.
  11. I just returned from interstate after driving my is250 over 1200 kms and worked out from using my navman that my speedometer is out by 10km per hour. At 60km/h the car is doing 50 at 110 km/h it is doing 100 km/h etc. Took it in to the Lexus dealer and they said there is nothing they can do. I am of the opinion that for such a great car with excellent build quality this is just not good enough. Does anybody know if there is a fix for this problem that has been documented by others before me. I shouldn't have to drive at 70 to be doing a real 60. This is also adding extra mileage to my vehicle over long periods. The dealer said they could check the car to determine how innacurate the speedo is but not fix it. UNACCEPTABLE.....
