I looked at that and a few others... but they look like knockoffs, not genuine. Does that matter?

I just realized my LX570 lacks the standard toolbox that is supposed to be in the tailgate compartment. I see two or three pieces of rod with a hook, but not the complete kit, so I can't even lower my spare tire to inflate it and turn off the TPMS warning signal. It is very likely that the...

How do you mount this navigator? Proclip on vent frame, and mount vertically?

I haven't replaced the cleaned, 18-year-old PCV valve with a new valve yet, but the car has been driving very smoothly, with no new issues. Just a quick update.

Reviving an old thread to add one more data point for P0101 on a 200-series/LX570. My symptom pattern was very similar to this thread: P0101 appeared during steady highway driving, with the usual CEL/VSC/4LO light show, but the truck continued to drive normally. Restarting did not clear the...

I would certainly hope so. However, I also think smart people would rather steal a 200 in a good condition than a 300...

My LX570 is very quiet, all I hear is the tire noise and the air noise from the fans. If the road is well paved, I can hear the tape hiss from analog recording in the stock Mark Levinson stereo. I bet the diff and transfer case oil level was high enough when I bought it at 126k. The guy at the...

I bought my LX570 last year at 126k. It came with very clean coolant and new engine oil, so I drove it for 4000-5000 miles. The transmission was always smooth and never noticed any issue, other than changing to 4LO and engaging center diff lock were slow and sluggish for the first few times...

Coffee farm in Ethiopia uses a 70 series as a work truck. https://www.coffeeshrub.com/media/catalog/product/cache/d03ea31552bd1b5f4cc7e80acbe033cb/e/t/ethiopia-sweet-marias-buno-hambela-goro-4.jpg

I bought OBDLink MX+ and looked at the code. It was P0101 mass air flow circuit range/performance problem and C1201. Is P0101 a common code to see when the fuel cap is loose? I'll see if the error returns after reset. Or should I be prepared to replace MAF sensor or PCV valve? During the trip...

Thanks all responders. Followup question I understand 2008 LX has a number of features that can be turned on/off via OBD, like smart key, etc. Are these controls not available via BlueDriver but they are via Carista? I was looking at BlueDriver. Many people seem to recommend it in general, but...

I searched the forum to see if any answers are already out there, but the last discussion was at least one year ago, so I thought to ask again. What are the OBD scanners that are trusted among LX570 users? I have iPhone 6s Plus and original iPad Pro, both quite old but the iPad still runs the...

Got some mud on it after taking this photo.

message intended to be deleted... how?

There was no evidence of anyone trying to seal it after a few hours. If anyone tried, they would've had to bring a shovel at a minimum to get the car out of the unmaintained New Hampshire Class VI road before I find them. (I.e. I wish I had a shovel in the car yesterday.) Mud on the ground...
