Lexus ES Forum in UAE

Why can't my 2006 ES350 play music via the car's Bluetooth, even though I can make calls with it?

Why did you change the center console screen on the 2025 model? I was considering it, but now it's super ugly after the change. Toyota's center console.

Does anyone else feel that sometimes, even with the same standard mode (with the green ECO icon already turned off in the trip computer), the steering wheel feels lighter and the accelerator is more responsive, making the drive feel comfortable? But other times, the steering wheel feels particularly heavy, the accelerator is heavy too, and the engine sounds loud—even though ECO is turned off. I really can't figure out why. Can any experts help explain?

If you commute 45 kilometers every day, how much would the annual cost be for an ES200, including insurance and maintenance?

Has anyone noticed a thumping noise from the rear suspension when braking? ES car.

Why is the rear suspension on my Lexus ES200 lower than the front suspension? I can fit a fist in the front suspension gap but not in the rear. I tried another ES and could barely fit a fist in.

Hey guys, I just got my Es2000 recently, and there's a clunking noise when I brake. It seems to be coming from the brake calipers. Do any of you have the same issue?

Is there a high penalty fee for paying off the ES200 installment within two years if the plan is for five years? Any insights from esteemed ES owners?

Due to a business trip, my ES300h was parked for over 10 days and couldn't start. After jump-starting, it started normally, and the battery checked out fine. Can anyone advise on how to avoid this situation?

Car experts, is the 2025 ES getting a major redesign? This year's update [I want to be quiet]

Car enthusiasts, how's your water-repellent coated glass holding up? Is it normal for one side of the glass to lose its effect after 2 years?

Is it normal for the wiper on the driver's side to make a clicking sound when it reaches the top? I feel like it didn't make this sound before. The 4S shop said it's normal, and I've even replaced the wiper, but it's still the same.

I bought an ES200, and the designer made an unusual choice by placing the only USB port on the surface of the center console. It's easy for the USB to get damaged by hard objects. Why not put the USB in the armrest box? Also, I want to ask fellow car enthusiasts if there's a way to convert the charging port with the lightning symbol into a USB port that can play music (I tried using a converter, but it couldn't play music).

To set the air conditioner so that the compressor does not start and only natural or engine heat is provided, you need to: 1. Turn off the AC button, often labeled as "A/C" on the control panel. This will prevent the compressor from activating. 2. Set the air circulation mode to "vent" or "fresh air" to allow outside air to enter the cabin. 3. Adjust the temperature control to your desired level. For natural air, keep it neutral; for engine heat, adjust it towards the warmer side. 4. Adjust the fan speed to control the flow of air. These steps should help in using the ventilation system without activating the AC compressor.

Hi everyone, I've had my car for almost 4 months now and have driven around 1200 km. The dealership called and said it's time for maintenance. They mentioned that if I don't go within 4 months, it might be hard to manage future maintenance schedules. Should I go, or can I keep driving for a bit longer? Please share your thoughts.
