I recently bought a 2023 ES 250. The salesman specifically assured me there was a way to turn off the adaptive cruise and use regular cruise control. I trued what he said but it does not work.  Is there a regular cruise option? The owners manual does not say anything about it ..read more

Hi fellow Lexus owners, I have a 2023 ES350. I live in a city and often have to parallel park. However, when I'm in reverse and get too close to the car behind me, the automatic braking system engages and prevents further movement. How can I disable it? I know it's meant to be helpful, but sometimes I need that extra 2 inches! I've looked in the manual but can't find a clear explanation of how to disable it. Thanks! Irene ..read more

Driving today (2023 ES300H), I was notified of a software update, which I accepted, and the respective download statuses were displayed. I noticed afterwards that text message receipt alerts are posted on the interface touchscreen. I hadn't been automatically notified of text messages, only voice calls since I purchased the car (using Android Auto). I thought I would find a description of changes or fixes that were included in the latest update, but ??? Anyone know where I can find this information ..read more

All of a sudden, Sirius isn't working. The in-car display says that I'm not subscribed, but I am. The instructions from Sirius on how to "refresh" say to go to Radio and choose "Satellite" as the input, but I don't see "Satellite" as an option (it's a 2023 ES350). The owner's manual isn't helpful. Has anyone else had this problem? Thank you ..read more

Hello all - My mirror does not dim very much when people are behind me; not as much as I'd like.  I am wondering if there is a user-adjustment that can be made for the sensitivity of the auto-dimming mirror? (2023 ES350 Ultra).     Is there a way I can force it to a max dim mode at night, and then turn that back "off" during the day?   I searched the forum and only came up with this suggestion; adding some tint to the photocell lens.    Not really a fan of this, though it may be my only option?     ..read more

Bought car December 2022. Always asked Lexus outside temperature and blue window came up with all local information for weather. I just received my second smart key (finally). After the second key was programmed, the outside temperature no longer shows with all local information. Instead, Lexus tells me the temperature of the city I'm in but the screen remains blue and blank. Lexus explanation is that the 2023 cars do not show on the screen. When I informed them that it had until they programmed me a second smart key, the just kept saying my year car does not show that on display. As if I neve ..read more

Hi. I have a large collection of cds. I purchased an external cd player for a 2023 Lexus ES 350. It worked well for 8 months, and stopped performing. I tried a few other models, and nothing worked. Once the unit is plugged into the USB drive it is no longer recognized. Is there an external cd player that works best for Lexus cars? Or how can you get the car to recognize any player? Thanks!!     ..read more

Greetings! I'm new to Lexus and this Forum. I got my new ES300H four weeks ago and I can't be happier!  I have two cell phones, an iPhone that's a company phone and my own personal Pixel 7 Pro.  Is there a shortcut by which I could swap between the two? Currently I have to go to the Lexus screen on either Android Car of Apple Car Play, go to settings and change the phone. This is a little risky when driving and especially if the wife calls on my personal cell phone and the corporate iPhone is connected. Thanks for your answers ..read more

How difficult is it to download all functions of Android to 2024 ES350, or should I get an IPhone? Or is it the same on both ..read more

About every 15 minutes or so, a prompt appears on my 2023 ES350 GPS screen, asking me to enter a PIN to continue.  Since I don't know what pin it's asking about, I have just been tapping the "cancel" button.  It goes away for about 15 minutes, then reappears.  What is that, and how can I get rid of it ..read more
