Problems with Carplay sound

Hello,

I recently bough a 2021 rx450h.
Decided to buy wireless carplay adapter as well - ottocast U2Airpro.
Everything is fine with it - it connect, shows me the Carplay mode but…
The sound if you play spotify (thats what i usually do) is terrible compared to simple bluetooth connection. Is there any way to improve sound quality or it is just because of the wireless connection and there is nothing to do about it?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Buying a lexus thru carmax or carvana?

didn't realize how hard it is to get a CPO NX350H ... so now i'm looking at the carmax and carvana for more options and better pricing (and not having to deal with a dealership and negotiating).

Any thoughts or experience with getting a lexus through there? Anything to look out for?

I'm gonna stick to a 2024 or newer so at least I'll still have the original lexus warranty till 2028+.

2026 TX 550h+ after some detail and coating (Video in text)

Video

Paint corrected, paint coated, glass coated, wheels coated, door jams coated, interior uv protection.

I’m thinking about tinting the rest of the windows and windshield to OEM, but not sold on it yet.

Factory Navi updated for fun

So our replacement 2013 RX350 that took the place of the one we lost didn’t have our home address in the nav system and that weirdly drove me insane even though I rarely use the factory nav. Found a site called Toyotamaps.online that I have seen before and opted to try them out. Paid but hit no response for the activation key and since they operate in Central Europe and I am in Noeth America that I was legitimately worried I had been scammed. Turns out they do indeed pull through via their WhatsApp chat and while I had a sleepless. Ight trying to get a response from them that they did end up getting me what I need to update my unit. Worked like a charm and while much cheaper than any stealership, that it was still $75USD. Was it worth it? Probabaly not in 99% of my use cases BUT for the time I had no cell data that factory navs can and have proven to be helpful.

Should I buy an IS500?

So, I currently own a ‘19 ES350, and ‘21 LC500.

I put a good chunk of miles on my cars, live basically in Michigan. I dont drive my LC500 in the winter, and was thinking about trading in my daily/winter es350 for an IS500. Am I being dumb? Should I drive an IS500 in the winter? Are the back seats or trunk usable at all?

I’m basically looking to get talked out of getting the IS500 because it’s a dumb purchase for a daily, but by golly, if people are driving their IS500s without a problem, I might get sold.

Edit: Clarification, there is NOTHING wrong with the ES350, and keeping it is absolutely an option.

Help diagnose this sound

I have a 2022 nx350h with 45,000 km on it. Within the last few days I noticed every time I go to put the car in park there is a high pitch squeal/ squeak coming from the car. The sound was not there before and it's only become noticeable in the last few days

I tried researching online but posts are few and far in between with no real clear answer, has anyone else experienced this when putting their vehicle in park? Since this is a new sound is this cause for concern and did anyone get a proper diagnosis - what is the issue and how to fix it?

Right at the end you hear a high pitched squeel- it wasnt making tbat sound before

Thank you

3 months and 5000 mi later…

I purchased this 26 Lexus RX 350h F Sport Design 3 months ago new with about 5,000 miles, as it was a Lexus regional rep’s demo. I just crossed the 10,000 mi mark today.

This car and I have already been through so much in the last 3 months. Several rounds of golf, a grueling 8+ hour DIY ceramic coating job, heavy flood and tornado warnings and even a couple first dates. I will admit, there are some things left to be desired, but I honestly could not be happier with not only the car I chose, but also the Incognito color and especially the 39.5 mpg I’m averaging.

All in all, if you’re thinking about getting a new RX 350, once you feel the comfort and ride on the road, I’m sure you’ll want one even more.

Help finding this part number!

My car is a 2016 Lexus IS350 Fsport. I’ve been looking for a couple days online to try and find this weather liner for the back door that covers the pillar in between the doors. The parts diagrams aren’t really helping me, I’m sure someone here has had to replace this. Any help would be appreciated, thank you! I am ordering a couple more liners just need help finding this one.

2018 CT200h roof rust near windscreen – Worth testing the 12-year warranty or go independent?

Hey everyone,
I bought a 2018 Lexus CT last year (UK) and recently noticed paint bubbling on the roof panel right where it meets the top rubber seal of the windscreen. It started out as just a single spot, but I can now see a second spot starting to form nearby.
Before I hand over £160 to the Lexus dealer just for a diagnostic assessment, I wanted to get some community input on a few things. Has anyone successfully claimed roof edge bubbling under the Lexus 12-year anti-corrosion warranty, or do they immediately write it off as stone chip or surface damage?
Also, what should I realistically expect an independent bodyshop to charge to treat and respray this area? Does the glass usually need to come out to treat rust along this edge properly, or can a bodyshop safely tuck behind the seal?
Appreciate any advice or prior experiences!

Anybody know how to check the fuel pressure on a 2013 Lexus es350?

It seems like it’s impossible to find information regarding this anywhere online.

PSA..

Change your cabin filter, tomorrow. Bought my GS about a year ago and never thought the ac blew as hard as it should. I checked the filter shortly after buying it but it looked new and was a charcoal filter so I left it alone. Changed it out today along with an engine filter and it made a HUGE difference, car also felt a little more responsive. Learn from my mistake, just because it looks new and good quality doesn’t mean it is.

Also, if you have a pre car playinfotainment get Lexion, it will make your car feel 5-10 years newer.

Just bought my new whip

Just bought a 2017 es350 for $11,750. One owner, but mileage at 170,500. Very clean inside and out. Radio has an error but looking to purchase either a Hamilton head unit upgrade or similar anyway. Park assist, BSM, LDA, reactive cruise control, heating steering wheel, rear power shade, heated and cooled seats. A couple very minor dents hardly noticeable. Hoping this is a good buy!

Also, Does anyone feel like they experience a bit of loud road noise? It has good Michelins with plenty of tread but seems louder than I would've thought at high speeds (not high rpm).

Thanks!
