Purchased a 2016 LX570 (120k miles) late last year. Have enjoyed it so far with only one minor issue now resolved (Mark Levinson amp went bad). One thing we have noticed is that the AC is not very responsive. When it is hot, we don't see much response until we really lower the temperature and...

deanfun I also confirmed that my amp fans were spinning by removing the front seat (actually just unbolting it and rocking it backwards) and putting my phone in front of the fans and confirming they were spinning and recording the sound. I ended up pulling it anyway and sending it to OEM Auto...

Full confression: I used a box cutter to enlarge the opening around the amp. Some other posts had mentioned this as some amps fail from overheating. What I cut is not visible, even when moving the seat all the way forward or all the way back. I also had to make a small slit on the driver side...

Ours doesn't have a cool box so not really sure.

Update: Amp was bad. OEM Auto Audio said liquid intrusion. Apparently all it takes is a very small amount. To my knowledge, we did not spill any liquids, but we did purchase the vehicle used a couple of months ago. Not happy about the $675 repair cost, but relieved that this is (hopefully) the...

Thanks. I just pulled the Mark Levinson amp. Plan is to send it to OEM Auto Audio to be bench tested. The fans spin. When I disconnect the amp, the annoying faint "pop" noise goes away. I does not go away when I disconnect the RES module under the passenger seat (red plug). I am holding out hope...

Same issue. I lost audio and rear entertainment system. It did happen around the time I installed and then removed some floor mats. I have tried to make sure all wire looms are properly connected. My amp fans are spinning. Really frustrating to say the least. 2016 (just bought it with 116k...

For me, the windshield has not been replaced. My amp fans are working. I am going to send the amp in the OEM Auto Audio. They said they would charge a $25 bench test fee to confirm the amp is not the issue. If not, the rear entertainment module (under the passenger seat) becomes the next likely...

I have a 2016 LX570 and it has just begun having this no audio issue. However, in my case, audio has never returned (happened several days ago). Have pulled the amp out and reinstalled and confirmed the fans are running. Have also tried (unsuccessfully) to jumper around the RSE module. Tht...

OEM Auto Audio and United Radio (both out of New York) get good reviews. I am having the dreaded no sound on my 2016 LX570 and have exchanged a few calls with Joe at OEM Auto Audio. I plan to send my amp in to have it bench tested. I have to cover shipping and $25 to check it out. A rebuild of...

@uHu Do you recall the size of the globes? I think on the landcruiserclub, someone posted pictures of the globes along with a caliper showing the thread size and overall diameter/height of the globe. I thought i had saved those pictures the other day but apparently didn't hit save and now...

So...full disclosure....I am in the process of buying a LC. I haven't actually gotten it yet, but am fairly certain based on the Toyota Maintenance history that I pulled using the VIN that the AHC is in need of some TLC. The technician notes were a bit screwy because it said KDDS system parts...

Based on the MUV200-500 printed on it, this looks like a way to order globes from someone other than Toyota/Lexus. Whether it is cost effective and feasible is another question. https://www.ekkeagle.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/EKK-AccumulatorsEN-mq.pdf

Any update on the Citroen globes? Still working?

Has anyone ever used a 3,000 to 4,500 psig SCBA bottle (or CO2 bottle) as a means of filling tires on long road trips? I was looking at purchasing one of those PCP air rifles and see that you can buy a small electric compressor to charge the bottles (up to 4,500 psi). That got me thinking...
