Hey all,
The download centre removes updates for older models even though they mention updates for 2014 and beyond?
https://securedp.lexus.com/download-...division=lexus
I am unable to update my IS250 2014
Is there any way of updating? I am located in Melbourne Aus

Or does anyone have the files for a 2013(2014 model) IS350 with navigation?

On a maintenance report what is the meaning of “yellow” brakes or tires? I’m assuming it means the brakes or tires are nearing time to replace? Thanks for any clarification.

Thank you for clarifying!

Figured this is the place for this question (or maybe there’s an oil change thread I missed?) but does anyone change the oil drain plug gasket at each oil change? I found part number 9043012031 but not sure what interval it should be changed.

The downside is that if you reuse it and then need to replace it cause it's leaking, then you gotta take the drain plug out, which then means all the new oil is coming out too.

It is recommended to change it at every oil change...in reality not everyone does, and really the gasket can be reused twice for sure.

The only reason I ask is I'm changing the oil in the 3IS and I didn't realize I ran out of those gaskets... I'll have to get a new bag soon but I wanted to make sure there wouldn't be an issue for reuse on this one oil change. Thanks for confirming @Sasnuke !

Hate to ask, but I'm just not finding any information anywhere, including the owners manual.
So on a 2020 IS350 F-Sport without nav, how does one delete a preset radio station? Also, same for a preset XM station?
Third, when scrolling through the preset stations, it always gets hung up on the 16th station (it is XM). That is, I can no longer scroll beyond it unless I pause for moment and quickly double hit the scroll button. Then it passes beyond to station #17 (also XM). What is causing this blockage and how can I eliminate it?
Thanks.

I have an ultra white 3IS and I like the look of the black side view mirrors but NOT carbon fiber. I know some wrap their mirrors but can I just get obsidian black mirror covers from Lexus and just switch out my white ones. Should be the same effect right? I got the roof wrapped not too long.

plus there is always a chance you may crack the mirror during the process... that would totally suck. i was changing out one of my mirror bulbs during the winter and i guess the cold makes the glass super sensitive and i ended up cracking one. luckily i was able to find one for like 30 bucks at a local junk yard but just letting you know those things normally dont go for that cheap.

I'm sure highly likely the same with yours..
You can change the number of preset radio stations you have, clear the preset data, or if you just want to override you don't have to go into settings.
Youll find what you need in the audio settings in there. When I bought my car it had an absurdly high amount of preset stations so I limited it down the like 12 I think I reset them all to what I wanted after clearing the stations that were in there.
