    I use an old iPod - it is loaded with my music. Plug it into the USB and it works fine - skip controls etc on the steering wheel all work. You can still pair your phone via Bluetooth at the same time of course. Not as convenient as using a single device but it's a good compromise.

    Found a couple of old ipods at home. Used one, works great. Thanks for the heads up :yes:

  2. A proper DVD was sent to me by a member from another forum

    'BUT' Ive been informed further down the page it may be V23 in an V22 package, but just "maybe" they release one with minor changes?

    Standard settings from ImgBurn

    Clean linky for ImgBurn

    If you know how you can remove NZ poi's to make fit on a SL DVD -R

    As per V22 post earlier Lexus may need +R

  3. My take on it..:whistling:

    The damper is a tuned mass damper. It is a circumferential weight joined to the mounting plate with small rubber blocks.

    "A tuned mass damper, also known as a harmonic absorber, is a device mounted in structures to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations."

    It works by providing opposite forces to those applied, quickly , to the surface its att too. This provides shock and vibration reduction in a range of frequencies around its harmonic resonance.

    There should be no real feel etc to any weighting but this can be be interpreted as such as it will provide a small amount of mass to any movement applied (for a very short duration.)

     

    After all that crap :w00t:

    Strangely it does make the wheel feel better "balanced" :eek:

    A few more days will tell it better

     

  4. Out of 1 to 10 .. An 4. Took 10 minutes start to finish :)  Took longer to take photos and post up :w00t:

    Added last pic to show how to remove airbag connectors. Dont be afraid. When removed place face down away from car if your concerned.

    1. Remove Neg batt terminal (10mm)

    2. Prise off side covers on steering wheel with small flat screwdriver

    3. Loosen fully T30 5 star bolts inside where you removed side covers (Bolts are captive so stay in place)

    4. Pull up horn assembly from the top and at same time release bottom spring clip by carefully pulling towards you

    5. Remove 2 connectors from middle of airbag. Carefully prise the 2 yellow lock plates away from connector approx 2mm. It will stop.

    6. Remove black earth lead (press tang in the middle)

    7. Position wiring away from where the damper sits.

    8. Insert and tighten 2 screws (Philips head in mine) I always have a magnet attached to my screwdriver shaft when working somewhere that you can drop screws etc so they don't fall off!

    9. Replace earth on horn assembly.

    10. Refit airbag plugs and press in the yellow locking tabs.

    11. Route switch wiring under tangs on dfamper. Leave airbag wires over the top loose.

    12. Reinsert horn assembly into cavity. Clip in lower spring tabs.

    13. Screw 2 x T30 bolts back into assembly.

    14. Replace side covers.

    15. Replace Neg batt terminal.

    16. Start engine and reset seat and radio and windows (lower then raise and hold button for 3 seconds)

  5. Ive had a background noise ever since picking up my 2011 IS350 3 months ago.

    It is there under light throttle. ie. moving in traffic on and off accel.

    Can be heard a bit  when cruising at 100kph.

    Sound like an injector but Im not sure.

    Sadly the Lexus dealer who sold me the car couldn't hear it :)

    If you listen to vid please turn up sound. Phone dropped the volume.

     

    Any other ideas?

  6. All my life I've had performance cars that even from the factory have had matching exhaust notes, even some not too loud.

    I want to give my 350 F sport just a bit more noise when I throttle it on🏎

    Not looking to make it loud but just want to hear if I press the throttle hardish...

    I'm hoping this can be achieved by replacing the 2 rear mufflers and tips.

    Has anyone done just that for a reasonable price?

    I would be happy with bolt on 2nd hand parts if available.

    thanks Baz
