Titled a review, but really more of an overview - not to far off the mark IMO.

AutoNXT on the 2017 LC

I had to give them bonus marks for testing the same body color as my LC -- except I have the black interior -- if they had tested with the black interior I'm sure their final score would have been higher.

FYI a larson full size storm door will fit inside your cabin. Remove the head rests as to not mar them.

Well done buddy, we squeezed a 10 foot piece of counter top in the 100 the other day! Who needs a truck!

Wow. I should have taken a picture when I "tetris-ed" a boxed 70" x 38" kitchen table with 6 chairs into mine to get it home from the furniture store. I think that was before I installed the ARB drawer, though.

Quick question for the BS thread: just came back from first camping trip and noticed that I could not get power from the plug in the back of the truck, even when ignition was turned on or on accessory. Also couldn't figure out how to get audio from the rear seat DVD routed to the IR headsets only. Kept getting audio only to the cabin speakers. What am I missing? Thanks.

What year is your 200? Some earlier models have a button next to the steering wheel for the outlet power. Others, like my '13, it just turns on with ignition power.

It's a 2017.

Whoa!!!

Holy crap.

To be fair, I bought a 2005 Lexus ES330 from that same dealership in 2010. Paid for a local inspection prior to sending the funds. Other than they somehow "forgetting" to balance the new tires prior to shipping, I was happy with the purchase. That car is still doing well, I see it all the time, I sold it to a co-worker.

Yep, pic or it didn't happen!

Check the fuses under the drivers side dash, rear outlet should be there. I once plugged in something over the capacity and the fuse got singed didn't burn, I removed the fuse, lightly rubbed the blades with sand paper, plugged it back in and had power.

 

[Desert Nomad]

In my vehicle it's the "Type A" fuse box, on the drivers side of a left hand drive vehicle.
Should be fuse #26.

Does anyone know of a Los Angeles area locksmith able to program key/fobs for 2016 LC?

Call a few of the Toyota dealerships in your area for pricing. I got mine done for $72 locally (1/2 hour of labor). Check craigslist/service in LA as well if the dealership isn't willing to budge on pricing.

 

[Dotar]

Thanks for the reply and CL idea.

I'm at 110K miles now, so I'm gonna go ahead and swap the water pump as PM. Besides the serp belt, tensioner, and coolant, is there anything else I should do "while I'm in there"? My radiator has already been changed (not Toyota OEM though ). I also have a set of plugs to swap.

Holy crap... 17.6 qts of coolant. Nothing like dropping over $125 on anti-freeze...

 

[steenh]

Maybe your starter if you want to get ahead of yourself. I did it at 120k as preventative. Good chance it will die before your 240k so I just put in on that schedule.

 

[BTUMAN]

This just happened. Resale just dropped a bit.
