shenkar, that sounds like a great discussion to start up on the Smart Shopper board. Bet some members who hang out there know more about this company.
#76 of 148 GX problems? by patpaxton Jan 14, 2004 (1:19 pm)
I bought a 2004 9700c GX in the middle of December from a dealer in Boston. Got a great deal...$48,366 including 3rd row, Nav/Levinson, DVD, etc. Was supposed to be delivered at the end of December. It wasn't. Then, it was supposed to be delivered the first week of January. It wasn't. Now I'm told it's at the port in NJ, where all GX's are being held while some type of problem is being investigated by Lexus. My dealer won't tell me what the problem is, and will only say that he hopes the car is delivered next week. This has been extremely frustrating. Does anyone know anything? I got a great deal...but I really feel like I'm getting the runaround.
#78 of 148 In retrospect... by cdfwife Mar 03, 2006 (7:56 pm)
It has been thirty days since I brought home the GX. I am very happy with the vehicle. Here are some of the things I have noticed about the vehicle that I would put on my wish list for Lexus to change.   Way too much vinyl on board for a vehicle of this caliber. My MDX had more leather trim than the Lexus.   Shift knobs and console areas...too much vinyl.   Truck does indeed "clunk" when you are stopped with your foot on the break. Gives you a sensation of being lightly tapped by the car behind you. I thought perhaps this would have been corrected by now, as it is a recurring Toyota issue. I did not notice this on the test drive.   Storage compartment between the front seats is a little wimpy for a vehicle of this size.   Hill/ stability control thing makes a horrid noise when pulling up into my garage, which is on a slight incline. Scared me to death before I realized it was "normal" in this situation.   Nav is not user friendly. I had heard this before, but didn't want to judge. Apparently Lexus has heard this over and over. Bluetooth sys still needs work, not as compatible as one would be led to believe. Lexus techs have made this same statement. That said, I am far from being the most techno savvy person around.   I wish the audio controls were not via the nav screen. I do not like the fact that I have to take my eyes off the road to change stations. Also, it requires an extra step to turn on the audio screen to actually get to the selections. (At least with "buttons" you can feel the buttons and change the station without looking at the buttons.)   That being said, I LOVE this vehicle and wouldn't trade it for the world. I love the climate control system and the sound of the audio. I love the ride, the handling, etc. It is just a really nice vehicle to drive, and makes my daily commute a pleasure. I get lots of compliments on the color, which is the ash blue mica. (steely gray/blue) (At this point I am getting an average of 16.1 miles per gallon for the first 1300 miles, half freeway, half stop and go. )   I would say that having also owned an MDX, the MDX is a close second for me. But I am planning on keeping this vehicle for quite a while. I am really glad I decided on the GX.   Has any one tried the adhesive film paint protector available from Lexus? It looks intriguing, but not sure how it really holds up.

#81 of 148 GX470 satellite radio hard install by darlinboy Apr 09, 2006 (1:14 pm)
We have a 2004 GX470, and would like to hardwire install satellite radio. Anyone have a product solution that works through the existing sound system (levinson w/nav) and doesn't look like hammered dung? Thanks!

Replying to: darlinboy (Apr 09, 2006 1:14 pm) There is a perfect product for this that I've had on my 2006 GX for a couple of months. Go to www.vaistech.com. This system works through your nav unit and looks and works as good as any factory unit...and better than some. You'll love it. Replies to this message: darlinboy (May 06, 2006 3:59 pm)

Replying to: whitewhale (May 04, 2006 1:18 pm) Sounds great, thanks. Did you do the install yourself, or take it to a shop? If self installed, how hard was the job?
