    Cracked Windshield (non impact) < 500 mi

    Sadly, this is good advice. Even though there is a zero deductible on windshield replacements, it still counts as a claim, and they dropped me after a couple of incidents. Insurance companies, in general, all have the same dreaded policy. Once you enter a claim (glass or non-glass) and even...

    Sunroof ticking noise since cold weather

    My sunroof is perfectly quiet, but I suggest you lubricate the seals with a light coating of Vaseline or equivalent. Are you sure it's the sunroof? To confirm, next time the ticking noise is noticeable, slide or tilt the sunroof to determine if the ticking noise disappears.

    Port installed add ons you hate most

    They loaded up my GX550 with over $3k worth of items I never asked for or wanted, including roof rail cross bars, body side moldings, door edge guards, a kit of USB charging cables for your phones (why do I need this if CarPlay and charging is wireless?), tonneau cover, rear all weather 12"...

    Lexus app on Apple Watch

    Totally agree, the app is very cool! The best part is you don't need to upgrade to watch OS 11 as you do for other makes like BMW and Tesla. The older legacy watches will work just fine with the Lexus app, plus it offers remote start which is not offered on most other brands. i actually...

    Yea, that beeping was kind of annoying and I turned them off in the settings menu. But at least your dry cleaning was saved!

    Drive mode isn't sticky :-(

    I've been using the eco mode and yes, it sticks and is saved each drive. There is also a second eco indicator, a green flag above the first, which indicates your driving behavior is in the "zone" (maximized fuel economy). Which basically means just because you drive in eco mode, hard...

    Caviar Overtrail has ominous appearance

    Agreed, the Caviar really sparkles brilliantly in sunlight. With all the black trim and the black paint finish, the grill actually takes on a more aggressive look. And you also get the black roof treatment which is pretty cool. The rear hatch doesn't benefit as much with the lack of contrast...

    Disappearing gauges

    Thanks for clarifying. Well now that does appear strange. The tach and speedo should always be present in some form on the dash. However, I don't believe our GX's have turn by turn directions displayed on the center display or HUD. I haven't been using navigation that much to notice, but I...

    Disappearing gauges

    There are 3 gage 'styles' you can select from the settings menu. What you're describing seems normal; style 1 has the central tach with digital speed, style 2 has separate gages for tach and speed, and style 3 has yet another variation (which I cannot recall). To restore the map in the center...

    Absolutely! If you're still not satisfied with the service you received from the dealer, I would start with contacting Lexus customer service and fill out the comments form and drop-down menus. They will take it from there. Good luck! support.lexus.com

    lexus gx550 premium driver door rattle/cabin noise

    Thank you for your update. Based on the details you provided; I'd like to suggest another possible root cause of the issue. I think Longo Lexus has mis-diagnosed and is going in the wrong direction. You did an excellent job of explaining your case to them, and to me it's completely obvious...

    Premium+ white ext. paint issue

    Just a word of caution. You should never attempt to "rub out" paint defects using your finger as contamination can cause further damage and micro scratches in the clear coat. As a minimum the surface should be wetted down with a detailer or other suitable wetting agent. Your dealer should...

    Under-hood checks and general observations...

    Under the "Do it Yourself" maintenance section of the owner's manual there are several good recommendations so I thought it would be a good idea to become more familiar with this. First, you'll notice all key components are under some kind of shroud or plastic cover that require removal by...

    Premium+ white ext. paint issue

    You should contact your selling dealer as soon as possible to document the issue. This is yet another reason you need to inspect your new vehicle thoroughly in well-lit conditions before accepting delivery. It's likely that the clearcoat has swirls from the adhesive backed protective sheets...

    Dash Cam Fuse

    Yes, I have the USB type c input. However, these OBD2 connectors are available with different type USB connectors, without the need of an adapter, to match your dashcam input.

    Dash Cam Fuse

    You can also use this OBD tap to power up a radar detector, although I wouldn't run both devices at the same time.

    Dash Cam Fuse

    Why would you want to tap in the fuse box and potentially cause other electrical problems? I have this in my GX550 and it works perfectly! There is a built-in switch for continuous parking monitor, or ~15-minute surveillance after you park. Check it out here: OBD2 connector

    lexus gx550 premium driver door rattle/cabin noise

    I would first check that all the driver's door seals are still intact with no obvious discontinuities, e.g. the bulb seal around the door frame, the seal at the rear door where it interfaces the front door, and any other anomalies. Check the passenger door seals as it mirrors the driver's door...

    Cannot customize the central driver's gage cluster...

    Thanks, it worked when I set to "meter type 1' on the center display which I thought I had adjusted previously. The owner's manual wasn't clear on this, or perhaps I was looking at the wrong section. Appreciate your advice.

    Hey everyone, was wondering if someone can provide assistance. I have been trying for some time to customize the central driver's gage cluster. I understand that we have 3 different screen options, toggling the left / right arrows, but I cannot get the center section display a speedometer...
