Truly the saga continues on my side.
Updated repairs: I changed brakes and rotors all around, brake fluid flush and while there I repacked bearings and replaced the front ABS sensors. They were brittle and dirty, cleared the sensor port well. Did plugs, tcase, trans fluid flush as well since...
Dash lights are working well. All the bulbs seem to be in working order.
We shall see over the next 1-2 weeks as it's getting colder, if the lights stay off when it's cold...then I am seriously confused!
Hello all -
I bought 07 lx470 with 112k miles last year and after about 2k miles I noticed the ABS light would come on sometimes, if I were to hard brake it might go off, sometimes that didn't do anything. It would come on and off intermittently and then went away for a while. Earlier this...
Because everyone was eagerly awaiting updates on this...
The noise eventually went away! Who said not to 'just ignore it'?? :cool:
Perhaps the pad or caliper slightly misaligned, no unexpected scratches or marks on the rotor, no smells, brakes well...ah well
This is one of those things that someone might hear and say OH yeah its definitely X, you needed to make sure to move Y out of the way before putting the tire back on...or whatever...
Brakes were squeal-y and it's been some time since replaced, so I went and replaced pads and rotors on the back...
Removed stock camera, replaced with aftermarket camera and fed RCA through panels to radio. Spliced into rear lights for power. Then spliced red line behind camera into REAR or whatever that brown wire says for the trigger. Is that the wrong wire to connect to? There were a handful of random end...
Thank you for this post - I've ordered the cable and will work on this. My 07 lx470 always had 10-15 degree turn to the left, I brought it in multiple times for 'alignment' to no avail...
Ok, so everything is hooked up. Works well, camera turns on when I go to the APP menu and choose Monitor.
Does anyone know of a way to have it automatically come up when I put the car into reverse? Clicking through the menus seems tedious over time.
Wow, just seeing this thread. My heater T completely disintegrated and was spraying coolant everywhere into my engine bay.
I will be doing this delete :)
I am trying to work through a similar install I'd like to do..
So you removed the ECU and hooked up the power converter, then fed the RCA line up to the PX6 and used "CAMERA" input? Where did you split it, coming out from there? And then have an input coming from the dash cam as well?
How is...
For sure, already did this. Of course, that area in the engine bay is all the way back, in the middle and all the hose clamps were positioned downwards...
It was a real Cirque du Soleil show for a while there 🤩
Agree with this.
Dealership lads have quoted me 80-100% more than what I've been able to get with a independent "toyota" shop.
Where I live I would guess 60% of the cars on the road are either Subaru or Toyota/Lexus, so the local guys probably have a ton of experience.
Yes!
So update -
Tech at my new (!!!) shop took a look and had it fixed in 20 minutes. He found that when they did the TB/WP, they had left the cover off a little, didn't put back in some of the bolts, in addition to not putting in enough coolant. He said it looked like hell in there and...
Interesting that you posted this, because something similar happened to me today, I was going to write a post about it (and still might when it's all solved.)
I bought 2007 lx470, 110k miles on it. When I picked it up, car worked flawlessly, only thing it needed was a TB and water pump. I...
Just finished the install. Took about an hour, but that was including installing a new backup camera and leading it under the carpet to the front.
Didn’t need the airplay dongle, already an app on the radio which does the same thing wirelessly. Also for the TV receiver, I realized that’s just...
Thanks for the reply. At first I thought it might have been the speed sensors, since it was coming and going and as mentioned I could get the lights to turn off if I hit the brakes moderately hard at speeds over 20 or so. Then the lights continued to stay on no matter what I did.
I ordered a...
Just went nearly all out and bought the Px6, digital TV receiver, Carplay dongle thing, rear camera.
Anyone have tips for the TV receiver placement? Any for the carplay dongle?
Hi all, I've done a number of searched about this issue here and on other forums, my situation seemed a little different and I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem.
I recently purchased 2007 LX470 with 111k miles, had shipped to me. Did some short local drives, no issues at all. Oddly...
