Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Satellite Radio Reception - RX350 Loses Signal With Even Minor Obstructions

Having issue with XM Radio reception? My 2013 RX 350 loses signal with even minor obstructions. This is my second RX with satellite radio and 5th car and this model is terrible. I have driven behind friends with 2015 and 2010 models comparing when signals are lost and mine is significantly worse.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2013 - Satellite And Radio Signals Go In And Out All The Time

I am back in a GTI, after totaling my MK4 a year ago, and I just got my new '13 Autobahn, and I have already noticed that the satellite and radio signals go in and out all the time.

Is this a common issue, or is there a fix for it?

Camry 2012+ :: Satellite Radio Reception - Lose Signal All The Time

I bought, new, a 2012 Camry back in 2012. I got the satellite radio option. The reception with satellite is horrible. On the clearest of days, I lose signal all the time making it useless trying to listen to it.

Yes, I understand vegetation can hinder reception. But, it shouldn't to this extent. Not long after I bought the Camry, I purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion. It, too, had satellite radio.

I think, in the 2 years I had the Fusion, I lost signal 2 times. On the cloudiest, foggiest, snowiest, and raniest of days, the Fusion never lost sat signal.

I had the dealer check out the system and they found nothing wrong. I've let my subscription to Sirius expire since I can't even get a decent signal. Is this typical of the satellite radio with Camry's???

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Nav Traffic Alert And Detour Routing

After 4k miles, I'm beginning to really like the NAV in my 450h. The lockout in motion is a pain, but the traffic alert and detour routing is wonderful. Only yesterday it sent me around a wreck on the bridge in Cincinnati, and I really enjoyed watching the masses stewing as I crossed the Ohio River on an adjacent bridge and popped up on the first exit after the traffic jam.

Making peace with the NAV seems to be mostly a matter of getting beyond the Garmin.

Anyway, now I like the Lexus NAV.

Lexus GX 2010+ :: 2014 - Random Traffic Via HD Data Services?

So the traffic appearance via the HD Data Services network seems to be random. There are times I get it and on the way back it will not appear. I live in south west CT which they claim is full coverage. It is really random and there does not be anyway to see if it is a single strength problem or not. The only indicator is on the NAV screen with the HD)) system in the upper left corner.

I realize I can force it through my cell phone, but why use up my data plan for it when supported in my current area.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Slip Indicator Is On And Flashing When Stop On Traffic Light

When stopping on traffic light, my Slip Indicator is on and flashing...

The Owner's Manual says: If the vehicle is in danger of slipping or rolling backward when starting on an incline, or if any of the drive wheels spins, the slip indicator light flashes to indicate that the VSC/TRAC systems are operating.

Luckily, it only happened once... otherwise, I'll roll back to the dealership in the very first day I picked up my car...

Camry :: How To Access 2010 Satellite Antenna

I just purchased a 2010 Camry LE - Satellite ready. I know what that means, but want to see if I can use the built in antenna.

know where/how to access the Camry's antenna? I have looked in places where it is located in other models, but not luck.

I want to see if I can utilize it with a conversion kit or if I'm stuck with a dealer install.

Prius (2010-12) :: Location Of Satellite Radio?

My sat radio says No Signal. Sirius checked it out and said everything was fine on their end. I checked the antenna and it is OK. I am thinking there may be a problem where the antenna connects to the Satellite box but I don't know where they store it to check it. Under the seat?? Under the trunk?? Behind the dash??

Prius (2010-12) :: Radio Works But Satellite Won't?

I have a 2012 Prius hatchback. For the last 3 years the satellite works just fine however for some reason about a month ago it just stopped finding a signal? The FM and AM radio load just fine (even though the signal typically stinks) but when I go to a Sirius channel it just says "loading" and I never get a signal. I called Sirius they did all kinds of test signals over the air but could not find an issue. They told me I should go to the dealer..

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Nothing Happens When Satellite Radio Button Is Pushed

I have a 2008 GS350 AWD with Mark Levinson sound. There is a satellite radio button but nothing happens when I push it. Do I need to locate the number and get it activated before it'll work?

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Satellite Radio Installation Process?

I have a 2009 GS350.

Its Satellite radio ready, meaning it has a SAT button and it has the shark fin antenna on the roof. When you push the SAT button nothing happens. I was told I need to get the unit installed. I am assuming all the wires are run through the car and its just a simple plug and play, but I'm thinking that would be too easy. Also where does the unit get installed? Where to even look to see if the wires are there.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Keeping LEDs On All The Time While Driving During The Day?

This is new to my wife and I and I can't seem to keep the LED's on while driving during the day? I have the stalk set to AUTO and during the day time nothing is on and we want the LED's on during the day. They will come on when I manually turn on the headlamps. I'm sure it's some setting.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Set The Car To Lock Automatically After Being Left For Some Time?

When you close the doors, the car will turn out lights etc. after a while. Is there any way to set the car to lock automatically after being left for some time? I've been trying to develop new habits for locking the 2014 RX 450h but sometimes find I have left it unlocked. I find that pressing the dimple and waiting to be sure locking happened to take more time than locking our old Forester.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Front End Rattle Every Time Drive Over A Bump

2011 Lexus RX350
24,000kms/15,000 miles on the odometer
Owned vehicle for 13 months

I've been experiencing this annoying rattle coming from the front end. The rattle is not very loud and every time I drive over a bump, it sounds like I am driving over a Texas gate. I don't feel the rattle, but I hear it. It occurs only when I drive over a bump on the passenger side. No rattle occurs when I drive over a bump on the driver's side.

I have 3 questions:

1. Is it fair to rule out a bad engine mount?
2. Is it reasonable to pinpoint this to possibly a bad strut mount on the passenger side?
3. What are the impacts of driving 1700 miles until having this looked at? I have to go out of town next weekend. I called the Lexus dealership here at home and the earliest they can look at it is two weeks from now.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: 2011 ES350 - Mode Button On Steering Wheel Completely Skip Satellite Radio

Recently purchased a certified 2011 Lexus ES350 with navigation. I noticed that when pressing the mode button on the steering wheel, the radio toggles from AM, FM1, FM2, and Bluetooth, but completely skips satellite radio. The satellite radio is active and I set presets for all the stations. I can access the satellite radio stations fine when pressing the button on the dash or on the touch screen but the mode button on the steering wheel completely skips the satellite selection.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: USB Taking Long Time To Load / How To Pick Random Among All Albums

I use a thumb drive plugged into the UBS port. I have maybe 16gb of music on it. I have noticed that each time I turn on the ignition, it take FOREVER for the infotainment to load the thumb drive. How it can be resolved?

I had about 1 TB of music on a solid state portable hard drive and it would load right away in my Tundra. Also have the same 16gb stick in my aftermarket stereo in my 2001 Honda Civic beater car and it loads right away.

Also, how to pick random among all albums? Can't get that to work either.

I am new to the world of maintaining my own car. I had an issue this morning when I drove my 2011 Elantra. The car started jerking from time to time while i was driving.

Prius (2010-12) :: Stop And Go In Heavy Traffic

I’m concerned about stop and go traffic here in Phoenix, where the highway traffic literally stops for minutes at a time. Then we get to move for 50-100 feet and then completely stop again. This process may continue for 30-45 minutes. How is this affecting my Prius, am I slowly killing my new car?

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Tire Rotation Should Be Time Bound Or Distance Bound

Retired and not putting a lot of miles on my 2015 RX 350, I am now at the 18 month service interval. The service recommendation is a tire rotation but I've only put on 2000 miles in the last six months (12 month/10,000 mile service). Is it really necessary to do the rotation even though it has been six months, but only 2,000 miles?
