Yup, you got it! That's all it takes.

Yes, very good point. If your boat is in the water you definitely don't want to remove those.

That's a good point. but I still love these :-)

Great point!

Very little lately unfortunately. Work keeps me pretty busy. Trying to plan a trip with the kids to Big Bend soon.

Yes. It works on many Toyota models too. You just have to make sure to match the number to the number on your factory remote.

Best place I have found is eBay. There are always lots of them on eBay. Make sure to buy one that is “unlocked” so that you can easily program it to your Lexus.

Thank you! And thanks for the support!

That is absolutely awesome! Thank you for the support, from Texas!!

Thank you!!

This is plenty fast for us. I thought it was impressive personally.

I like both too. I think now a few years later I like the chrome look better personally. The blacked out look is starting to get old in my opinion.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the support!

Great tip!

We don't have that boat anymore. But if I remember correctly I think it was 3 or 4.

@NKPGarage found them. I have 5. 2 on left side and 3 right.

I bet you might even be able to get away with just heating the plastic liner pieces with a heatgun and pushing them in to make more clearance. That is what I did on our old 2009 LX570 and did not have to cut anything. I did a video of that one a few years ago, take a look here, incase it is helpful: th-cam.com/video/KPTAc9eu38o/w-d-xo.html

Totally agree. How do you like the SUV? We were thinking of maybe getting the EQS SUV next year and trading this one in. But the trading values on these have plummeted

@@NKPGarage I need a car where I can store a lot of gear (wind surf, model planes...) and the SUV is just that. When warm and at low speed (50 tot 80 km/h) it only uses 16 kwh/100 km which is great. When driving 120 km/h that is another matter. But driving is great, almost no external sound. When I call my wife from the car she never believes I am driving.

Glad it was helpful!

It has all of that preprogramed into the software.

i heard some other people ran into that problem too. Have you made sure you are on the latest software update for the unit?

@ I tryed but it had a 4 digit password I couldn’t get pass.. I try 1234 n 0000

@@ti8321 do you know where the previous owner bought it from? I bet there is a software update available if you can find out

@@NKPGarage yeh I ask him and he say he never did set a password. He say he bought the unit from china

No, unfortunately that doesn't work with the apple maps since its not integrated into the factory system. The HUD navigation still works if you use hte factory navigation, but not with the Carplay.

Oh, interesting. I have to go try that!

​@@NKPGarage You're probably not allowed to enter, just like me

You got it!

I would remove the throttle body to clean it all while it is off of the engine assembly. That way you don’t risk getting g cleaning fluid or any sediment into the intake manifold during cleaning.

Correct, no sanding or polishing between coats!

I like to use white lithium grease

Yes!! 👍

you have a good point ;)

Yup. I was able to

Ya. I agree. It’s the entire industry. Our Mercedes has the same type of plastic emblem. I think it’s mostly the manufacturers trying to hide the sensors for the cruise control and self driving systems behind emblems. It definitely doesn’t look as nice as a chrome emblem.

Here’s the update I posted on the forum. I hope it’s helpful. A quick update on MPG, drivability, and overall view of the OTT ECU tune that Lonestar Yota Tuning applied in this first round of modification. * Power increase in the lower and mid RPM ranges are noticeable both when driving around town normally, and also when towing our boat. * I really like the more aggressive shift pattern. It feels like this is how it should have come from the factory. One of my biggest complaints on the 2016-2021 LC200 / LX570 has always been how sluggish it feels, much more sluggish than the 2008-2015. With this tune and new shifting it feels great. Always seems to be in the appropriate gear during city driving around town, and no longer "hunts" for a gear when towing or on the highway at cruising speeds. * MPG - This was interesting. The first several days I was convinced I was getting way worse gas mileage. It was about 1 - 1.5 MPG less than before over the first week full week of driving. Same usual driving I do which is about 60% city and 40% highway. I was ready for a tank of gas, so like usual I reset my MPG to let it start measuring again from scratch. At the end of week 2 I am about 0.7 MPG better than before the tune. I think the first week I was just pedal-happy and playing with the power band to get a feel for where the noticeable increases were. Once that new-tune-fun wore off and I got back to normal driving, my MPG is actually slightly better than before the tune. During towing our big ol' boat the MPG still seems to be about the same as before the tune. * Some people say idle is better, but I honestly notice no difference. The idle before and after the tune is identical on my LX570. * During the flash it seems that my setting to automatically apply the e-brake when in P has been disabled. I have to play with the settings to remember where that setting was to re-enable it. * ECO mode still works the same as before, decreasing throttle response and forcing you to drive more economically. * Normal mode now acts closer to what Sport+ mode used to be. But not quite. Just feels like it should have come from the factory this way. * Sport+ mode seems to be similar aggressive shifting as before. I never really used Sport+ mode much, other than to just play with a couple of times. So I'm not sure if the tune actually effects Sport+ shifting or not. To me it seems the same as before. Would I recommend the tune now that I've had it for a couple of weeks? Ya, i think so. I think it's worth the $450 or so that Lonestar Yota Tuning charges for the OTT tune.

@NKPGarage Thank you for posting what you wrote on the forum. Are you on IH8MUD?

@global_east yup, I post about this stuff on Ih8mud as well. Same name as here NKP Garage

When you replaced the two rear sensors did you out the sensor position close to where it was before with the old sensors?

@ yes i put it where it was but by example if the car it was on high position and I want to put it in normal position or low it does not working. It’s still on high position.

@ and on the scanner, I don’t have any trouble code but I can get it down with active test, not with the switch with the switch, it going up but did not going down

👍

Yup. Going to lap each valve and then start working on cam clearances. Hopefully I don’t have to grind any of the valve stems and can just adjust with the shims.

Pretty much! Just gotta get it back in the truck. 😅

Yup. Done that before and they turn out usable. I just felt like that would be a shame to put back in this head 😁 with everything being so new-ish

code 42 is for the air inlet servo motor, 43 is for the air outlet servo motor. Have you tried checking the air damper right over the filter to make sure it is still functioning and not broken. It is a common broken piece on pretty much every toyota and lexus that sometimes will happen when technicians or people that don't know the process try to replace the cabin air filter. I have a video on that here, take a look: th-cam.com/video/sf2TPYi5NO8/w-d-xo.html

@NKPGarage holy crap i just changed the cabin air filter and it stopped working right after that

@el_patron7455 I bet that might be it. Sometimes it is fixable. Sometimes there are broken pieces that need to be fixed. Take a look at how I did mine in that video and then take a look at yours to see how it is

@@NKPGarage do I run s chance of overheating my car by not letting airflow through if I don't fix it right away

@el_patron7455 no, it wont cause any further problems if you let it be for a while.

That code is for either a wiring harness/connector problem, or for a faulty AC Amplifier. 9 times out of 10, if you have not messed with any wiring and it all of a sudden stopped working one day, it is probably in need of a replacement AC Amplifier.

Yes. You can definitely display the data on multiple screens

@NKPGarage thx
