r/LexusES

One of the best daily and comfortable cars that I've owned. I average around 40mpg as well. This was the best purchase that I've made. No regrets at all.

The car has RSR springs, 20in wheels, and a Maxton Design kit.

Have anybody achieve this MPG on their own ES350(2GR-FE engine)? Took this photo while stop at a redlight. 😂

2017 es350 with 68,856 miles. Ethanol gasoline only, 90 octane.

For anyone getting better, I would love to know how and see the proof.

Tired of putting miles on my 500 for the work commute, so I pulled the trigger on this 2019 ES 300h that was freshly traded in. Lucked out when I took the 500 in for service and took it for a test drive before it was photographed and listed on the dealer’s site. 1 owner car with 80k miles, meticulous service records, and not a blemish on it. The interior still looks and smells new! Loaded with options, everything but triple beams and ML sound, which is odd but apparently before Covid you could custom build these models.

Hi everyone,
I have a **2024 Lexus ES300h**
I’m having an issue with the **RCD OFF light flashing** on the dash. In the PKSA menu, **Parking Sensors and RCTA are ON**, but **RCD is greyed out / blank** and cannot be switched ON or OFF.
Here is what works and what doesn’t:
Rear camera works normally when shifting to Reverse.
360 / Panoramic View also works when shifting to Reverse.
The physical 360 / camera button does nothing when pressed.
RCD OFF light keeps flashing.
RCD option in the PKSA menu is disabled/greyed out.
I cannot access camera settings from the camera screen while in Reverse.
No obvious camera image issue.
I scanned the car using an aftermarket Toyota/Lexus scanner.
Nothing related to RCD or the camera system showed up in the normal system scan.

I tried a basic steering lock-to-lock procedure, but it did not fix it.

**My** **question**:
Has anyone fixed this exact issue on a **2023+ Lexus ES / Toyota with the newer multimedia system**, especially Korean/JDM/Asia imports?
i attached photos showing:
RCD OFF flashing
RCD greyed out in PKSA menu

Any help from Lexus/Toyota techs or owners who fixed this exact issue would be appreciated.
Thanks.

PS. this guy has the same issue :

Finally got my hands on a 2019 Lexus ES 350 Luxury
Second owner 42k miles and my heart is full
Obsidian on Palomino. Looks like it just rolled off a showroom.

I’ve recently bought a 2019 Lexus ES 300h Luxury Line (I’m in the EU)! Not sure what it is in the US or anywhere else? And damn it’s good to be back😄 I’ve went 3,5 years without a Lexus, having had a ct200h and a gS 300h before and after that a Ioniq 5. I’ve really missed the quiet and calm of a Lexus🥹 going to do my first road trip in a few weeks (4000km at least), after having driven it 4000km in the past 4 months!

Metal piece fell off the door because of the current heat wave i assume. What should i use to re attach it ? Something that’s not going to damage the leather underneath

One of my good friends did an interior detail, restored all rubber and leather, ceramic coated, wheels, car and windshield. Polished whole car and headlights, claybar, all the works and etc for about $500.

I haven’t had to wash it til today, whereas before it’d get dirty weekly. I wash it today and barely any dirt came out. fresh spray wax too and it looks incredible I think. I’ve been putting so much money in this car. Older tail lights were cracked and getting humidity so I got brand new ones for almost $800. Every few months i get bored and bc I work at a lexus dealership I do any little preventative maintenance I can think of.

the car has 110k miles with records going back to its original lease, it’s in the northeast and has literally no rust underneath, and its the smoothed ES I’ve driven out of literally hundreds at my dealership. I plan to keep it forever or sell it for over $10,000 when it has over 200k miles lol

edit: someone tell me it looks really good 😓😓. I’ve been actually thinking about this. I rarely see a clean 13-14 es on the road. Most of the time I see a clean one of these it’s either black or beige. I can’t remember the last time I saw a silver es around Philly this clean and I need reinforcement on my investment. Bought it for 13.5k w 88k miles one owner no accidents, in feb of last year. currently it has 110k miles and I put a further 6k into a LOT of preventative maintenance, new brakes, etc etc. I’m 20k deep and idk what to think. It’s all paid off and I’m not sacrificing anything to maintain it but when I think about it maybe I’d be happier putting this money into something else because at the end of the day 20k is 20k. Still, I fucking love this car

Just going to preface this with saying I don’t know much about cars. My buddy thinks its off a galant and looking at pictures online, I can see it. What’s throwing me off is most of the galant wings are attached or flush with the body and this one is not.

Past owner serviced this at dealership for a gazillion years and they got this put on like 5 yrs ago. Not a huge fan, but she’s bolted so it’s staying on. I honestly don’t remember if they got this done at dealership or not, but none of the xv20s or this car had a wing like this so it has to have an origin somewhere.

Found some Lexus OEM wheels by Enkei. Known as the “G spiders”. Does anyone know from experience what the weight would be per wheel or where to find the info? I’m trying to keep my unsprung weight down.

I’ve looked and found one entry via Ai saying 26lbs for the front which is 18x8 and 27lbs for the rear that is 18x8.5. I prefer someone with info from first hand experience though. TIA

Just took over a NTM 2014 ES300H, and i’m looking to update the 8” nav to a new headunit

But i’m having a hard time deciding between 10.25 vs 13.25”.

The 10.25” replacement keeps the lines of the dash nice and classic, but the 13.25” brings the screen nearer for touch, but at the same time it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb. It looks like a modified unit for 2019 and later ES to retrofit the older ES.

Hoping for some opinions for some who have gone those routes.

I’d use the headunit for nav, and mostly. media when i’m waiting/parked.

Appreciate the opinions!
