How do you remove the door panel for a Lexus IS 300?

Its a pain, there are two screws. One in the arm rest, and the other under a tab in the door handle. After that is the hard part, use two flat head screw drivers and pry the door handle trim off. Then the easy part, pop off the tweet housing and then pull the pannel off. Dont worry your not gonna break it its just clips. Then unplug the wires and your done.

Is there any way to add a in dash nav system to a 2006 rx400h if it did not have one installled by Lexus when I purchased the car?

Yes there is!

The size of the head unit / radio unit is called 'double din'

there should be two (2) holes about an inch above/below each other on both sides of the unit which are used to remove this unit.

It is a very easy process to change taking around 10 minutes if experienced or 20 if not. DO NOT take the car to lexus as they will rip you off. Look on ebay to get an idea of a head unit with a sat nav system built in, prices vary from 200 ish to around £1,000

Another ideal place to look would be Halfords (if situated in UK) as they will fit it and give you good advice.

DON'T FORGET to look for whats called the stereo code! As when you remove the head unit it will lock the current one. The stereo code should be on a card in the owners manual.

Hope this has helped!

2010 Lexus Rx350 timing belt or chain?

the 3.5 has a belt which needs to be changed at 90,000. but it dosent have to be exactly at 90,000. its alright if you go over couple thousand miles, Lexus makes very good timing belts that are thick and wide. i have a rx300 that i bought brand new in 2001 and changed the belt 9 years later with 95,000 miles and it looked practically brand new and i live in an area with harsh winters. Also it would be a good idea to change you water pump while the belts are being replaced.

If you buy a brand new car with transmission problems can you return before 30 days?

It depends on what state you live in. There are lemon laws that require dealers to offer a certain warrantee like 30 days or more. Some states have a law that says the car is yours even if it breaks into 2 pieces after you drive it off the lot (WA State). So you really need to check the law. If there is a transmission problem and it is covered under their warrantee, then have it fixed before the warrantee expires. * All 50 US states have "lemon laws" that relate to new and used car purchases.

How do you replace the headlight bulb in a 1998 Lexus LS400?

I searched online and could not find any service manuals or help for replacing the headlight bulbs on my 1998 Lexus LS400. I just kept trying things and think I have it figured out.

I'm working on the driver side - so I had to remove the battery. For the highbeam, you need to hold down the tab and pull the electical connection straight back. They twist the tan colored cover to the right until it stops, then carefully pull back. There is another electrical connector inside. Remove than, then twist the bulb to the right and pull it out.

For the low beam (again with the batter removed), you'll be working around the windshield fluid filler tube. Twist that tan colored cap to the right until it stops, then pull back and off (no electical connections yet). Next, you'll need to remove a metal cover by pressing tabs on both sides - it should fall off. Then grab the electibal connector and carefully twist right until it stops, then pull back. The bulb should remain, held in place by two retaining wires. Push those down and in towards the bulb. I had to work those wires off as I pulled the bulb straight back and out.

BTW - the bulbs listed for purchase on AutoZone for my low beam weren't right. I'm now searching for the correct bulbs.

What can cause a 1990 Lexus LS400 not to start?

Why have maps changed throughout history?

Maps have changed throughout all of history because many explorers and other people have new places that were unknown to man before. In fact in 1507, Martin Waldseemüller created a new map which included "America" as a separate continent. The separate continent idea came from Amerigo Vespucci's. America is just a Latinized version of Amerigo.

Hope this helps!!! :)

It does! As well as changes brought by exploration, as said above, equally important changes have been improvements in accuracy, especially in the development of projections to solve the problem of representing a spherical planet on a flat surface. Other major developments were of grid systems so locations can be described by co-ordinates, and of course in surveying techniques.
