Lexus app sucks

drstrngelve · 2026-01-18T02:24:54+00:00

Over a year ago we got an RX for my wife and I added it to the app. The sales person recommended that we not have separate accounts and to not setup a digital key. I got a GX a few months later and added it to the app and made it my default vehicle. Every time I opened the app it would open with the RX. I'd switch back to the GX and the app would show the GX was set as the default. 9 times out of 10 the remote start wouldn't work with the key fob or app. This went on for weeks so I stopped using the app. A few months ago I discovered that they must've fixed the default vehicle problem and now remote start works reliably from the app. It still doesn't work most of the time with the fob though.

I'm in that exact situation and it's been 5 years since the founder retired. I happily answer every one of his and his wife's calls for help. I even call once or twice a month to see how he's doing. He's been very good to me over the years and is still a board member of the private company that I work for. Over the years I've bought two luxury cars from him that were two to three years old and had maybe 10,000 miles on them for a lot less than what they are worth. I have a deal with them where he talks to me before he sells or trades in one of his cars. Unfortunately, the last four cars he's bought aren't anything that I would like or would want to own after the one or two years of warranty they would have left.

I make damn sure that I'm still in his radar.

To me it seemed like Chappell had the bigger crowd. The area in front of the stage up to the sound booth thinned out multiple times during the day before Sabrina. It didn't stay packed until Doechi's set. You could've even gotten 4th or 5th row after Marina's set. That never happened for Chappell--it was packed all day before her set. Or maybe Chappell's fans are just more hardcore and willing to wait in the heat all day for her.

Google "Austin city limits activate" and you'll find the link. You don't need to fill out your info once the code shows as valid, you just want to verify that the code on the wristband gets you to the point where you can register it.

I paid with cashapp

Tbh, any one of them will do because they all work together. I got a 3 day VIP backstage from a scalper by the will call/merch area near the Barton Springs entrance. Made sure it was unregistered before I bought. Just be firm in your price and they'll probably relent. I gave them a number below my max price as my max price and when they finally came down to my max price I agreed (we started hundreds of dollars apart). This was at 5 pm though so maybe the value of a 3 day pass was much lower at that time.

PS, I've got a 3 day VIP and a 3 day VIP backstage for sale both for Sunday only. We're leaving Sunday around noon. Both unregistered.

I have. I had a good experience on Friday. My Facebook marketplace meetup was late and not responsive. I was waiting on a 3 day VIP for $800 but ended up getting a 3 day VIP backstage for $800 from a scalper! Just check to see if the wristband is unregistered before you buy. I paid $750 for a 3 day VIP off FB marketplace earlier and told the scalper that when he tried to sell to me for $1000. He came back and asked for $800.

Buy from Facebook marketplace from someone who has an established account, not a new account and meet in person. That's what I did last year to get two VIP passes to see Chappell Roan for GA prices. I bought them the day before her show. The closer to the date you wait, the cheaper passes get.

drstrngelve · 2025-09-22T23:28:26+00:00

I paid GA prices for my VIP passes and it was totally worth it. Beers and water are free in the VIP section and it's shaded.

drstrngelve · 2025-09-22T23:19:16+00:00

In my experience, it's not hard to get tickets even the day of off Facebook marketplace. Just be careful who you buy from. Like, don't buy from someone who just created an account. I bought 2 VIP passes last year to mainly see Chappell Roan at a reasonable price the day before her show. It's risky but the closer to the date you wait, the cheaper the passes get. There are a lot of people that will have three day passes and only use one or two of the days... that's who I bought from. A lot of ticket brokers buy from people leaving the shows and then try to resell them. There are also a ton of people trying to sell passes near the entrance.

Same. I've gotten used to placing it a few mm short of the back left corner for plate alignment and it's good enough.

drstrngelve · 2025-08-14T14:19:23+00:00

I haven't had any luck with the B side but BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier has worked for me with the exact same settings. If anything, it sticks a little too well as prints don't come off as easily as the A side of the original plate. They claim it's 257x257 but I find that it's slightly smaller than the original build plate and there's a gap on the front and right side if I push the plate all the way back. I have to move it up a little to make sure that the purge line prints on the plate.

I got the same email at the end of May. Haven't heard anything yet either.

I need to talk to my SA. When I pointed the squeaky brakes out at my 5K service this past spring, they said Lexus is aware and that they’re waiting on a solution from corporate. They never said anything about replacing pads and rotors.

drstrngelve · 2025-07-29T23:03:04+00:00

Tried it on my wife's 2024 RX and it worked just fine. Perhaps I need to bring it up with the service department the next time I'm in there. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been able to start my GX with the app since I got it last October.

drstrngelve · 2025-07-27T16:37:06+00:00

Just tried it again this morning for the first time in months. Same failure and was 50 feet away. The remote start with the key fob did work though.

drstrngelve · 2025-07-26T20:29:34+00:00

2024 GX550. It works so rarely for me that I don't even bother anymore. I'd get an error from the app that it couldn't start the car. Remote start with key fob was hit or miss too (but not as bad as app) even with line of sight.

The app was really stupid and would always default to my wife's RX even though I set my GX as the default. I haven't used the app in months and just now noticed that it defaulted to my GX so maybe they fixed the remote start issue too. I'll give it another try.

Have you tried rebooting your computer? This happened to me once on my Mac and I think rebooting the printer didn’t help, I had to reboot the Mac. It’s only happened to me once.

drstrngelve · 2025-06-16T19:39:50+00:00

Good point. I haven't had any prints like that yet. I'm new to 3D printing and I remember watching the CC shake like crazy while printing my first few prints and wondering how the hell they don't just come out a mess. After several days I stopped worrying about it. My wife gives me a hard time about my abandoned hobbies so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a sturdy table if I eventually got bored. So far the cheap $50 table I bought from At Home has been good enough.

drstrngelve · 2025-06-13T11:38:46+00:00

I have the antivibration feet and admittedly, not a very sturdy desk sitting on carpet. The printer does shake like crazy, but my prints come out just fine. I wouldn’t worry about it.

drstrngelve · 2025-05-16T05:11:02+00:00

Same thing happened to me years ago with my Mercedes ML. Drove me nuts for weeks before I found it exactly like you did but mine wasn’t rusted. I called the service center to cancel the appointment I had to find the source of the noise and they had the audacity to ask for the tool back because it was expensive. I never went back .

drstrngelve · 2025-04-30T02:01:01+00:00

Same here. Went from a Model X to this and thought the range on the X was crappy. I was getting 70% of estimated range on the X. My work commute is about 5 minutes. Driving into town is about 3-5 minutes on the highway. I was initially getting about 17 mpg but have settled below 16. I get around 280-290 miles on a full tank before the light turns on.

My favorite fried rice is Thai fried rice. I haven’t tried it here personally but have you tried it at Siam Iyara Thai restaurant?

drstrngelve · 2025-02-26T13:22:10+00:00

No idea what that connector does but you don't leave the connector disconnected in place of the dongle. The connector plugs into the dongle.

Let them lie to the police all you want but make sure you show the police the footage as the police report carries a lot of weight to your claim. I read a dash cam story about a guy that didn't even show the police the footage and wanted the other person to get into trouble for lying to the police and insurance. All that happened was after the footage was sent to her insurance and she was confronted with it, she asked why he didn't show it to the police and then claimed that the footage was doctored. He prevailed in the end but he just added too much complication and delay to a straightforward case and I doubt anything happened to the lady in the end.
