#8206 of 8333 Beep Volume by bouellet May 30, 2008 (11:27 pm)
Wireless door lock buzzer switch   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------   My wifes 96 LS400 has the buzzer switch on the right driver kneewall so she can modulate the sound...However my 97 LS400 has no sound when I use the remote and there is no button beneath the interior trunk open button as the manual says it should be. Can anyone shed light on this situation. Again I have no sound when locking or unlocking doors or trunk with the remote and I can't find a button.
#8207 of 8333 Looking at '01 Ls430 ? by vdragon Jun 12, 2008 (3:40 pm)
Hi all,   Looks like I may need a 4 door car for the child seat and more. Have an 8 month old son right now and planning on having another pretty soon.   Got my wife an '05 Lx470 and it is the best SUV there is, to me. I have a Tacoma pickup.   Starting to do some research and I see the 2001 is the first year for the 430. Am I wrong in targeting this year and model? Are there any major issues for this model year compared to a 2002 or 2003? Only reason I'm targeting this year of course is the price... the cheapest of the newer styled cars.   I figured since I'm looking, might as well look at a newer model. Is there anything in general I should be aware of for the Ls430's? "This has been known to break at xxK miles... this has been known to happen on this model year..."   Thanks for the help. I will continue to browse all the posts. Replies to this message: aggie76 (Jun 12, 2008 7:38 pm) mitchellrowe (Jun 28, 2008 2:14 am)

Replying to: vdragon (Jun 12, 2008 3:40 pm) While I realize you are looking for "cheaper" of that style might I suggest you seriously look at the '04 years as there were a number of significant changes to the LS that really makes it a much "better" LS than the prior couple of years. Six speed tranny among other items that you can research. I've had really nothing except normal maintenance on my '04 and its still the best car I have ever owned but you know the brand from your LX. Best of luck on your search.

Replying to: vdragon (Jun 12, 2008 3:40 pm) hello mr. dragon : the pinacle of the 3rd LS series was the early 2005's with 17" rims . 2004's are very close , but the '05 had some extra features . in late 2005 , the $ 1800 18" rims , that were optional, became standard . the 18's held over to the 2006 model . the 17's were much more of a luxury feel and ride , and sat flatter on the road surface for more control and better wet handling . ------- the 2009 is scheduled to be an all wheel drive ( no more 2 wheel - rear drive ) , meeting emotional competition from moronic dealers . the current 2 wheel - rear drive is simple and economic . the all wheel drive will cost 1 to 2 mpg , and not necessary in alot of areas of our country . assuming the story is true ( all 2009 ls's will be 4 wheel drive ) , it will , in my opinion , lexus's first major dud . ------- grab a 2008 ls 460 now , as the '08's coming off the ships are $ 900 MORE , and have the proven drive train with decent mpg . additionally ... the 2008 LS 460 is bullet proof , and overcame the 2007 shortcomings . ------- RECCOMEND : THE MARK LEVINSON OPTION ...( the satellite - xm - is true to life sound ) . -------------- mitchell rowe
#8210 of 8333 GPS DVD by mheni1 Jun 29, 2008 (8:24 am)
I have GPS DVD version 0.5.1 in my '06 LS 430. Is there a more current version? Thanks. Replies to this message: wwest (Jul 01, 2008 6:32 am) nvbanker (Jul 01, 2008 7:25 am) mheni1 (Jul 24, 2008 3:01 am)

Replying to: mheni1 (Jun 29, 2008 8:24 am) Yes, I think it's called the Garmin Nuvi series, available at Costco.

Replying to: mheni1 (Jun 29, 2008 8:24 am) He's funny, isn't he? The Garmin is a wonderful product actually, but I'd rather not have the unit velcroed to the top of my dash when my car comes equiped with a navigation system as good as the Lexus has.   If you haven't bought an upgrade yet, 7.1 is now available. Looks like you're a couple behind.   eBay Guides - Lexus Navigation Update DVD's and Hard DrivesLexus Navigation Update Date Version 07.1 is now available for purchase.

#8213 of 8333 Troubled Air Conditioner by mheni1 Jul 05, 2008 (3:15 am)
I have an "06 LS 430 with nav system. On a recent hot, humid day the a/c stopped working for an hour and then started up again. When it started again it would not automatically switch from outside air to recirculate nor would the air direction vents work. The same thing has happened again. I am taking car to local dealer in the next week or so. Anything input on problem ID and solution (s). Thanks. Replies to this message: wwest (Jul 06, 2008 1:28 pm) rennybosch (Jul 07, 2008 11:56 am)
#8214 of 8333 90K Service by mikeyinmo Jul 05, 2008 (12:40 pm)
My low-mileage '99 LS400 will be going in to the dealer this month for it's 90K service, which will include opening her up and replacing the timing belt, water pump, etc.   Any thing else I should have the dealer look for while the whole front end is torn apart?   Appreciate your collective advice and I REALLY appreciate our hosts, Pat and Karen.   Mike in SE Missouri Replies to this message: pat (Jul 05, 2008 4:16 pm)
