My apology that in the previous message: "The performance is definitely better compare to RX330" should be "The performance is definitely better compare to RX300"

#23 of 1743 Thanks for the info by ukulele2 Dec 15, 2003 (5:05 am)
Chitung,      Thank you for your comparison. I don't think I can wait until 2005 though. Just look at the tight demand right now I'm sure once 2005 model comes out there will be a long wait too. I'll most likely order an RX in late January and take delivery sometime in April. Here in the Northeast if we want ML we have to special order it. It's a pain but that's just the way it is. I'll try to negotiate my price no more than $1000 over invoice.

We do live in the 'burbs - still do not find the RX330 to be noisy!
#25 of 1743 HID blinding to oncoming traffic? by smat74 Dec 20, 2003 (6:51 pm)
Hello,   I just picked up my Flint Mica RX330 FWD w/Performance Package a couple weeks ago. It has the adjustable HID's.   The very first night I drove it, I got at least 7 oncoming drivers high-beaming me, most probably I assume because they thought my high-beams were ON (they weren't).   Anyone else getting oncoming drivers' high-beams? Even though the lamps self-adjust everytime I startup and are probably "legal," just wondering if the Lexus' "setting" is at the outer envelope of range...

#26 of 1743 Proper leveling... by wwest Dec 20, 2003 (10:35 pm)
The Rx uses a height sensor on the rear axle which may have been somehow damaged and now your lights are "leveling" too high.
#27 of 1743 satelite radio by tsmith67 Dec 21, 2003 (6:30 pm)
I too am interested in installing satelite radio. However, I am going with sirius. They just signed a deal with the NFL and they are comercial free where as xm is not. Has anyone installed one yet. Where did you mount the unit and antenna. How does it look? How does it sound. Any info would be apreciated as I am looking to install real soon.

Not entirely commercial free apparently?   bottgers "XM & Sirius Satellite Radio" Dec 16, 2003 10:33am   Steve, Host
#29 of 1743 RX 330 shifting funny by bobster44 Dec 22, 2003 (5:15 pm)
My 04 RX 330 revs very long between the shift from first to second. It is not a crisp shift, rather it feels like it the rev limiter is not right. It also hunts for a gear when I coast around 20mph and then gas it. The Lexus shop did a compter chip update and it got better but it still shifts worse than my 100,000K Blazer! He said "all toyotas shift that way" Any thoughts?
#30 of 1743 Funny Shifting not so funny by smat74 Dec 22, 2003 (8:08 pm)
What you described is exactly what I am experiencing (mine is the sequential shifter so it affects both transmissions apparently).   I didn't know if the ECM update fixes this.   I know the ECM update has been discussed many times here, but I have not seen a definitive answer other than "I think it shifts better now..." or "no difference..."   Does anyone with concrete knowledge of the ECM update (i.e., a Toyota/Lexus mechanic) know FOR SURE what the ECM update accomplishes?
