My Lexus 250 IS has the problem starting the car in the morning, the battery seems drained, and I need to reset the reverse camera setting each morning. The battery was replace in Novemer 2013. I have taken the car to have the battery tested, no fault was found with the battery, however the car had a 1 Amp leakage with all system turned off. I was told is could by the tracking system. The tracking company replaced the tracking system, as it was older than 5 years, and these satellite tracking system can cause problems after 5 years. This still has not solved my problem. If the car stands for 2 days I need to jump start it. I had had the computer plug into the car to test it. It was testing with the ignition on and with the engine running. No fault found.
