Question: There's no memory settings buttons on the door. Is there a way to have memory settings for certain drivers? So when my wife drives, the seat adjusts to her, and vice versa to me?
Another question: What's the easiest way to switch between connected BT devices? Both my wife's and my phones are stored/connected to the car, but to change from one phone to the other, the only way I've seen to do this is to go a few layers deep into the menu settings and select it that way. Is there an easier way to toggle from one BT device to the next?

No...you would need to have the Memory Seat option on the vehicle for it to do that. Another question: What's the easiest way to switch between connected BT devices?

Is there an easier way to toggle from one BT device to the next? No...you need to press Menu, then select Setup, and then Bluetooth. The vehicle will default to connecting to the last connected device that is currently in range. You can also set one device for Calls and the other for Bluetooth Audio simultaneously.

I think the door is the only place I've seen memory seat controls in this car. If you don't have those buttons on the door, seat position memory is not equipped.
As for your Bluetooth question, I think you're right that there. I am looking through the Navigation and Multimedia System manual and don't see another way.
My dealer programmed the key fobs to auto start and I thought that was a cool little feature I wasn't expecting when we picked the car up. Figured the memory seats would also be something that's there, but not easily shown. Oh well, but nice to know so I won't keep looking for it.
Hi,
I recently had the car serviced, it was for the 4 year (it's a 2017 IS200T) service which states the spark plugs should be changed. The mechanic took out the plugs to have a look (one pic below) and he said to not bother changing it.
Car has done 34,000 kms (about 21,000 miles). Do I need to change the plugs anyway or its good for awhile? Thanks

My manual for my 16 200t said to change the plugs at 40,000 miles, which I did.

According to owner's manual, it should be done at 60,000 km.. from the looks of it, it's still good till then, but it would be better to take a look at all four plugs.

Thanks for both the responses.
Had a look and they were all about the same. The mechanic was saying its distance not time based, so there's no point changing it till its 60,000kms just wondering if that's true. Heard with these engines it should still be changed based on time
Struggling to remove the rear axle to swap my diff. Wondering if anyone has any tips/instructions to get it out. I have a 2015 IS250
From your post I'm guessing you're trying to get the driveshaft ends that are in the diff. out.
Here is the repair manual procedure on how to remove it:
Realistically you're not going to have the tool, but hopefully the pic gives you an idea of what they are trying to accomplish.
The driveshaft end is basically locked into the diff. by a snap ring that's at the end of the driveshaft.
To get the end out, the driveshaft needs a quick movement outward which will collapse the snap ring and allow the end to slide right out.
In the pic they are using a pulling motion, but you can also use a pushing motion.
If you have something like a pry bar with an angled end, you could hook the same lip the tool is grabbing in the pic and simply hammer the driveshaft out...you'd basically be positioned under the diff. at this point.
It would need a quick and forceful hit for the snap ring to collapse...gentle love taps ain't gonna do it.
When reinstalling the dirveshaft make sure the opening of the snap ring in facing down and it will go in easily, again with a little quick and forceful push inwards towards the diff...you should need any tools for that.
This might a dumb moot question belonging here but just curious... in Regular Driving Mode sometimes the green Eco Mode light comes on the left side of the dash - does this also happen for you?

This nevers happens in Sport (+) Mode.
I also don't think the green like goes on when in manual mode. Haven't checked when in Sport + mode.

Can someone look at this and give me an idea on what could be causing this? That's the oil drain pan on the left. So far my oil level has been good and I haven't noticed any leaks coming from underneath. 2015 Lexus IS250 F sport

I think there could be a lot of guesses on this one.
The area where the oil is at the bottom of the engine is also below where the oil filler is at the top of the engine.
So the first question is, is the oil coming from above? Which is beyond what the photo shows. It could be simply that someone spilled oil when filling after the last oil change...was the oil changed recently?
If we assume the the oil is only present in the pic and nowhere else, is it engine oil or diff oil? Since the front diff is right next to the oil pan.
Since the driveshaft goes through the pan, it could be engine oil leaking from that seal, or diff fluid leaking from the diff side that faces the pan.
Has the front diff fluid been replaced recently? Maybe it's the drain plug on the side of the diff. for the diff. fluid.
Oil has a tendency of weeping everywhere, so the leak is likely much smaller that it appears, hence why you haven't noticed any fluid missing.
I would suggest getting some engine shampoo or degreaser and spraying down the area followed with a power washer.
Might as well clean it all off and start fresh to see where it's actually coming from.
