    Anyone Tried Using USB Type-C Port for Audio?

    I have a USB stick with a bunch of mostly compressed audio on it. I use that occasionally on road trips, especially where cell signal drops and Internet streaming is no longer possible. In this scenario, the DAC in the car is still doing the conversion. I think it's fine. I'm a mastering...

    Phone charging pad: the Lexus GX 550’s great tech disappointment (should be recalled)

    Another perspective: While not perfect, the charger works well enough to keep my Samsung Galaxy S25 well charged through an OtterBox case. I use a rubber pad so that I'm able to situate it in the furthest corner and it doesn't slide around. On long enough drives, this keeps my phone anywhere...

    Long Range America - Announcement

    What country did you purchase a GX550 in? A hitch is standard on US vehicles.

    Engine/powertrain computer/module reprogrammed

    That's likely the transmission downshift "clunk" flash that is a technical service bulletin. Totally normal and a good thing it's already done.

    This is unfortunate.

    That's specific dealership bs tactics and not Lexus. I suggest finding another dealership. I had to wait a few months, but not pay an upcharge.

    Jerky transmission

    Copied from another thread in this forum: "Go to settings - Driving Assist- Driver support - scroll down to Deceleration assist. To turn it on or off."

    GX IMSA Road Handling Suspension😊

    My suspicion is you felt you could roll over but you weren't actually in danger of that happening. Certainly this thing will never handle like a sports car or even Subie. I think it is what it is and besides driving it like a truck in most situations you will need gain confidence that it won't...

    PP or LP and why

    I'm very happy with my P+, but I was also not at all interested in most of the L or L+ features and definitely didn't want 22" wheels. I'm only slightly envious of adaptive suspension and the additional driving modes. The P+ is ultimately perfect for my needs. At some point I'll put a set of 18"...

    Configuring for hitch-mount bike rack

    You can mute the tone in the touchscreen, but you need to do it every time you put it in reverse. As far as I know, you can't disable the tone without a third party tool. I just deal with it. I have a Thule Revert 4.

    First Oil Change at 5k instead of 10k

    As above, I paid for my first oil change at 1000 miles. The owner's manual states 600 miles is engine break-in, so I figured it was a good idea. The dealer covered my 1 of 2 complimentary at 5000 miles. I plan on doing subsequent changes every 5k miles.

    Sorry to hear. I've done a few hundred miles but have not had the same experience as you...yet.

    Transmission Clunk TSB L-SB-0042-25

    I didn't get a fluid flush. I received a firmware flash as that's what the most recent TSB states is the solution. Have you inquired with your service advisor about that?

    Just looked at the new re-designed 2026 GX550

    If the design is the same or similar to the 2024 and 2025 model years, I got used to the shape of the side mirrors quickly and it's neither an issue for me nor my wife.

    Transmission Clunk TSB L-SB-0042-25

    I had very mild downshift jolts. Post flash, all I notice is the 1-2 slight harshness on cold start. Everything else is smooth.
