2021 Lexus RX350 How to Remove the Radio and Fix a Broken Vent
Переглядів 249Місяць тому
If you've been following this series you've seen the list if things that I've had to fix on my 2021 Lexus RX350. The dealership sent me a new vent and I agreed to replace it myself knowing that it wasn't that difficult, and I thought it would be fun to show you how the removal of the radio also in case you ever wanted to upgrade to Apple Wireless Car Play, or install an amplifier. Here is a lin...

2021 Lexus RX350 Certified Preowned Scam?
Переглядів 33 тис.3 місяці тому
Much of this UA-cam channel is dedicated to Lexus RX350 repairs and now that I have a 2021 Lexus RX 350 being my 3rd one, the trend will definitely continue. But this time I elected to buy a Lexus Certified Preowned and had some interesting surprises after I got the car shipped to me making me wonder if the extra cost for certified preowned is just a ploy to make more money? Some of the things ...

New Grill Rescue Honest Review | Is the Grill Rescue worth it?
Переглядів 1574 місяці тому
I did a Grill Rescue Honest Review a few months ago and one of the things I learned is that it takes days to dry. I left mine in the oven to dry and eventually we forgot it was in there and melted it during an oven preheat. So I ordered a new one that was updated from the last one. So I decided to do a new honest review and let you know if I think the Grill Rescue is still worth it. Here's the ...

Playlist please i know all the music but these are nit the originals can you post them thanks great video by the way
Hi.. can you just take the intake off instead of all the other stuff to get to the rear plugs?
You should have change just one of them and then put it on reverse just to check the difference , anyway thank you for the video. I'm gonna upgrade those lights right know.
will these fit my 2011 ls460?
OOOOOHHhHhhhhh!!! I didn't know a polarizer would have prevented this!!! A million thank yous!
Glad this video can still help after all these years!
oh noooo!!! not the grease getting on your hands!!! lmfao get a grip
Yes I know my videos are both educational and comedic!
18 above? So mean 2022 would fit?
Yes it should be the same kit
I bought a LS500 Executive Package L/Certified and had the same issue of a falsified certification from Field's Lexus in Glenview IL (north of Chicago) we agreed on a OTD (pending PPI) and I flew up to pick up the car and I did the PPI and started finding things that were said were checked and clearly they weren't. When it was all said and done and I did the inspection I got another $2000+ off the car. It needed a battery, an oil change, there were small small scuff and scratches they weren't disclosed when I asked if there was any damage no matter how small tell me about it. (Luckily they will buff out) After everything was settled and paid - I told them that the car had a $4000 K40 Stealth Radar Detector and Jammer on it they didn't know about ... if you inspected the car you'd know it was on there. Especially something they installed 2 years earlier since the car was originally bought and serviced at that dealer. So yeah the L/Certification is a scam, everything marked OK when it wasn't. But I got it all fixed and made them pay for it. Lesson here is 161 inspection 2 year Warranty - get it inspected yourself and cash in on that warranty and have Lexus fix it. All car dealer lie, even the higher end dealers.
Yeah I think paying for Lemon Squad to hold them accountable is the best way to go. In both yours and my cases, they could have been resolved before showing up to buy the car.
Same issue different model
Yeah I think it's pretty common with just a stuck relay
Don't really believe their explanations. 1) You don't check off the CPO items, unless you have verified each single item in the check list. That is borderline fraud. 2) You don't provide a certificate unless the person providing the certificate has verified the work. That is fraud.
Yeah, unfortunately it was just a mistake in checking things off before they were done. I honestly don't think they were trying to get away with anything, I think there was just a breakdown in processing.
I bought a used 2010 drives like a champ. Im starting to think RX 350 is best overall vehicle for daily driver
It totally is!
Why can’t Lexus make reusable clips? Is it that hard to do? It just adds to the cost and waste of maintaining the vehicle. They could’ve easily made clasps that flip on and off without using these flimsy clips that flies off and gets lost in seconds. Stupid design.
all car manufacturers use disposable clips. My RAM has cowl clips and they are one time use also.
Yeah, they are super cheap and serve a simple purpose
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
This car needs to be rejected. I would not accept a 2021 in this condition full stop, Lexus CPO or not. REJECT REJECT REJECT!!
Watch the rest of the story!
I think CPO simply means they go through a checklist and ensure things on that list are in good working condition. It's not free of minor defects. They may be annoying but do not keep you from safely operating the vehicle.
That is true, it's just things they check marked weren't actually done which was the main issue.
I may have missed you mentioning it, but did you go to California to have a look at the red car before buying it?
No I bought it purely on Lexus CPO reputation, my mistake!
Jesus christ that is involved for a common accessory.
It wasn't too bad :-)
@@CarolinaCowboys I'm about to do it on my 24 Odyssey. My 21 Highlander was a piece of cake by comparison.
well right now I have learned that the tailgate control module is fried and it might be water damage. It lives kind of down gradient from the roof channel on the drivers side and I had Honda stealership install the roof rack. I’m suspicious that the stealership installer damaged the sealant in that channel and water is getting inside. It’s a disgusting mess and I’m pretty unhappy.
Have you started looking for wet spots? It could be as simple as weather stripping. Or if they caused an issue, they may have drilled a hole in your roof, maybe they stripped one of the OEM holes, the only way to know is to take the roof rails back off to see.
Have you had any water getting into your rear cargo area after the install? Cheers
Not at all, have you had issues?
I have same RX and my climate control buttons are lagging. When I click buttons they sometimes react instantly sometimes after 5 seconds sometimes it recognisea 5 clicks but I did 1 (increasing or decreasing temp e.g.) no errors shown. Do I need to do the same as you did in this video?
Hmm, that's interesting. Have you tried replacing the battery first just to rule that out? If it's just the AC, It could be the AC Amplifier, but if it's other things like the radio and menu items then it could be something else.
@@CarolinaCowboysthanks for reply! Its only buttons for climate control. Radio is fine.
just bought mine hope they do the trick they were like $32 on AMAZON
Nice!
8:38 the rubber piece is just to keep water out.
Thanks!
You lovin' the LG crap yet? "This one's short: lovin' the LG crap yet?
It hasn't been terrible, maybe just average at best
What did you do to diagnose that it was the main board?
The issue was caused by a stuck relay, the mainboard is where it's located.
Does the Vinegar work?
Try it and let me know!
I am selling my rx and getting a rav4, it’s so restarted that when you have a working a/c you need to have a computer to access the a/c. All computers fail and no longer supported. Why can’t we activate it with analog.
I know right! And this is a 14yr old mode, imagine how much more complicated they are now!
Yeah man The software is no longer supported, I work in tech. The computer hard drive is spinning and will eventually fail. It’s not even the parts that fail, it’s the computers that control the parts that fail. Just to turn the damn ac off, I gotta click menu, go to climate, drag the mouse pointer to the a/c widget and click and like an internet browser. Takes 20 seconds, on my Honda hrv, I just press the ac button. I could understand over-engineering a bridge, but this is just plain retarded. I have a feeling the computer that controls the push to start system will also fail eventually. If the car is supported there will always be updates. They say Lexus is reliable. I beg to differ definitely getting a Toyota.
@@shihanrehman Lexus is the same as Toyota and they're both reliable, but sometimes even still things wear out. It will still last longer than any other vehicle
@@CarolinaCowboys Mechanically they will last longer than any other vehicle. 200k on a a Lexus is the equal of 40k on a Kia, Lexus and luxury brands in general just have unnecessary tech that fails. Just so your wife can stay nice and toasty on the right while you like it cold on the left. Best option get a second wife! I've seen your videos and it's too petty and first world of an issue to spends hundreds of dollars and time over. Toyota doesn't have these "tech" problems and if they do, it's much cheaper to fix.
Hi on the premise that Refrigerant does not leak, the fact that you needed to reload Freon probably means that your system has a leak. Won’t the coolness be temporary until it leaks again? Trying to figure out as I have the same issue. I tried adding Freon to my moms rav4 and it only lasted the summer
Yes I've been adding freon every summer since I posted this video. And yet I took it to an HVAC guy and he says there's no leak. So this means that the leak is inside of the dash probably right up against the firewall. I've heard you have to take the entire dash out to fix it. So I'll just keep buying these $30 bottles every summer. :-)
@@CarolinaCowboys that’s smart even though it’s and environmental hazard lol. my mom paid $1800 to fix the rav4. Moisture buildup and lack of use can erode the coolant pipes Freon is temporary. A Lexus more like $3000. Can you send me a link to the $30 bottles? I saw the same big bottle for $70 at autozone.
@@shihanrehman there should be a link in the video description
Great video! You made it look so easy. What sized sockets did you use to take out the bolts.
Thanks! The bolt sizes vary but probably a 14mm on the caliper.
I have a 2010 Lexus rx350 with only 20,000 original miles on it. The air conditioner system is weird/intermittent. So it is really nice and cold, but after 10 minutes or so, the ac goes warm, blows warm air. I found if I turn the ac off for a minute then restart, the ac is again frosty cold. Been happening now for 2 years. Some people on utube say it is a stuck ac compressor motor. Some people can take it apart and lubricate it successfully. Others claim if you put a magnet on thread compressor the magnet will help to “pull” the motor and work. I don’t know, but when it is nasty hot it sucks when it acts up.
If you're not getting any of the climate system control errors then you likely do have an issue on the compressor side.
Thanks again for the great videos. I've now replaced rotors and pads on front and rear, rear shocks and upper shock brackets, the oil cooler pipe ( sucked) front wheel bearing/suspension knuckle, PCV valve, and rear swaybar bushings ( relatively easy)...next going to tackle replacing front calipers, and after doing the rotors it doesn't appear to be that tough. Owned the car for about a year, driven about 15k miles, and it still amazes me how quiet and smooth it runs, even at 180k. The V6 averages 21mpg, and with 276hp it's acceleration is night and day compared to the Hyundai 4 cyl I moved out of...better mileage and more power don't usually go together! Question: the rear 'spoiler' that covers the rear wiper seems to leak badly directly in the center, allowing water to spill into the interior cargo area in back. Lucky the carpeted mat has rubber backing or this could be a serious issue...Even hand washing it leaks inside...would you replace the spoiler? It appears maybe it's missing some weather stripping to allow this substantial leak...
That sounds like the rubber seal is either cracked or not all the way on in order to create a seal. When you have the door all the way open, look behind there and you should see the issue.
Thank you for this video! Having same problem. Looks like your link needs to be updated again. Appreciate your walkthrough of this process!!
Unfortunately the board has been discontinued so you will have to take a chance on Ebay now, I'll leave the link there so you can get the part number.
This is very helpful. Thanks. Spending this much time disassembling, I would have tested the new controller function before putting everything back.
That would be too anticlimactic!
Thank you, Thank you! I’m very mechanically inclined and have been back and forth to NAPA with wiper blades that didn’t fit my ‘15 Odyssey. This Autoboo three wiper kit is the bomb. I was about to spend $75 for three blades purchased individually and these for all three were $25 and they look like great quality. Your video kept me from getting totally agitated with such a simple job!
Awesome! Glad you found me!
New microvave has thin aluminium case - vibrate. Soundproof when put finger on case. Can i glue armaflex on aluminium inside to reduce vibration?
Are you sure the vibration isn't coming from underneath?
Yes, i m shure. I even opened it, there is no protection on the screws (hisense). The sheet metal is very acoustic, it rings and vibrates. To begin with, I put some rubber tape, when I buy something for damping I will stick it inside.
I don’t see why you couldn’t do that being careful it’s not touching anything spinning or hot
im buying a new dryer instead.. with my clumsiness, i will misplace screws or literally fk up this process ... LOL
You could also call LG and they can send a tech to your house to fix it
The Cali sun got ahold of that interior!
It may be that HDR lighting? It seems good from my vantage point.
Hi, what cassette and chain did you use for these wheels?
I wish I knew, the shop just popped one on, I do believe it's made by Sram.
Why didn’t you bleed the lines?
Because I didn't open the system, so it's still sealed. But when I had the dealer do a brake fluid flush every 3 years, they will bleed them.
My concern with the reflector air tag is that I suspect that any bike jacker with a bit of experience is going to know to rip that off pretty quick.
This comment is on a Lexus video but I suspect it was for my Powerfly video? I agree if it's someone experienced with stealing things, they probably have a checklist of things to look for, if you find a better way, let me know!
Great way to scratch the paint.
Only if you're not careful, but it's pretty difficult to remove without prying it
Arm rest has a light
Arm rest? where?
Hi, what a really nice video you have here. Just finished going through the video. My issue is with my recently purchased 2011 RX350, my air conditioner blows out well but after some few minutes/an hour, loses its coolness and blows out only air from all the vents, do you think this has any issue with amplifier?
Also, i think you should know i’ve had the “Climate System Control Error” twice before.
Sounds like the same issue!
Yeah that's the sign, but unfortunately you won't know for sure until you've spent all the money and work to replace it.
Many improvements in the 2024 model. And actually cheaper as well. Never put a kickstand if you are serious about riding mountain bike trails.
Yeah I never ended up getting one, I just lean it up
Why not just stick with the 6x9 and go with the C2 JL instead?
I did that because I was trying to force more bass to the sub in the back and keep the front mid to high.
Thanks for making both videos! I’m a fan of the Lexus RX, and unfortunately dealers aren’t always on the up and up. Also, sometimes the sales department and service department aren’t always talking…..in the end, I’m happy to hear that Lexus corporate stepped in and glad everyone made it right. Enjoy the RX!
Thanks, that's exactly what happened, and I'm glad it was a happy ending! Now on to the next batch of videos!
Thank you, your tutorial was perfect!
Glad it helped!
The ceramic coating - "we'll send you the stuff you were supposed to get (that you paid for & paid to have installed) so you can install it yourself." Wow! I know it's not their fault, it's the dealership, but that's absurd! Imagine another situation where you paid to have the spark plugs replaced & they weren't replaced. You spend $700 & they just hand you the box with them in it. I'd be livid.
LOL yeah I got the raw end of the deal on that, I think i'm lucky I got anything from the ceramic company to be honest, but the fact that they sent me so much of it, I will do all of my vehicles. Now I just hope it's a quality product hahah, I feel like the "Ceramic" term gets thrown around like marketing.
How has this battery & warranty worked out for you in 3 years?
I was wondering when someone was going to ask me about it. I'm still on the same battery, can you believe it? I just had to replace the battery on my 2016 a few weeks ago and I bought the same battery, although the prices are no longer $47 unfortunately, but it's still the cheapest.
After removing the old actuator, plug it back it and have someone operate the Heat / Cool control on the dash while you hold the actuator and see if it rotates
Yeah, usually when they die they start clicking real bad, I did several of these on my Honda videos
Very sorry you had to go through this, but I'm glad Lexus stepped in to help you out. I really appreciate all of your content on the 2010 RX 350. I have a 2013 and your videos on the hood strut replacement and wiper blade replacement, especially the rear wiper blade were extremely helpful.
Thank you! I'm happy how everything turned out. I've been driving the 2010 RX and I really enjoy the more manual and sporty feel vs the newer ones.
