    I phone cuts out of audio

    make sure you select carplay on the sources and make sure your bluetooth is connecting to your vehicle. Sometimes mine is fickle. Let us know what you learn if you find something.

    Let's start an Accidents Forum.

    Are you going to go back to a GX 550?? Since it's totaled, you might have a serious wait time. Best!

    360 Camera FOV

    You might ask about a calibration. See even if there is a calibration that can be done??? I haven't noticed that in my vehicle and I will start paying more attention to that. Thanks

    Is there truly such a thing as hub centric wheel?

    This is what CoPilot (AI) for MS Edge says about our GX 550 and wheel-hub centricity: How close can the tolerance between wheel and hub be, or is that all designed into the wheel when the wheel design is established for the vehicle hub? Great question, Joe—and one that gets right to the heart...

    Fake Engine Noise - how to kill it and only that option.

    The only qualifier as I understand it is that your vehicle must have the super wamerdyne system, not the base model as I have.

    A/C Power + Cupholders

    Crank the engine, start the A/C- ever how you do that. Touch "Climate" and open up the Option screen. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE! Look at the S-Flow toggle switch. Is it on, toggled to the right, OR Is it OFF, toggled to the left, like the other switches??? Toggle the switch to the left/OFF...

    SPOTTED THREAD

    I think there may be two or three other 550's in the area. I have the only OT. HA! They don't have nutin' on my OT! And I don't wave at anybody!! 🤣 Just kidding. But, in my opinion, seeing the other "non" OTs, the OT does look better due to the "beefy tires/wheels". AND, the LX 550 model...

    Oil Life Indicator?

    No such thing as "oil life" with Lexus. Just change the oil at the Lexus recommended 12 mos. or 10k miles. Which ever comes first.

    The eternal blinker?

    Don't do a "full blinker stroke" - Raise it up slightly, then release and it goes back to center and gives you 3/4 blinks and off. My blinker blinks four times and off. There is a setting somewhere that you can change on that. Read the owner's manual - search "blinker".

    Height of GX with Parking Structures/Garages

    Just measure it in the driveway. I had doubts about getting into my garage, measured the opening and measured a GX at the dealership - after I ordered mine. Had two inches to spare with the roof rack installed. I removed the rack. :)

    Oil changes with testing

    I just had my 6 month check, mileage about 2600, and I asked about the oil change. The Advisor said "What oil Change?" I asked if the oil was not going to be changed and he said no - That happens at 10k. I said - Ok, it is your warranty. All the vehicles I have owned since late 1990s I have...

    Luxury + front mud guards

    That price beats what the local Lexus dealer quoted for four OT mudflaps - $437 + installation.
