Only have had the car for a couple of weeks. One problem that I have is that I don't know how to turn off the nav once the address has been entered and navigation started. My family changes their mind all the time and wants to go some some other destination in the middle of a trip. Unless a new destination is put in the nav keeps directing to the previous destination. How does one just simply turn it off?
View 1 RepliesI can't get the navigation to take voice commands to get me directions anywhere.
What would you say to your GS to (for example) get directions to Toys 'r' Us?
How you can ask for directions for a specific business?
For example:
Find "Home Depot"
Find "Ruth Chris Steakhouse"
I'm really impressed with how easy entering an address is (and how accurate the voice recognition is), but could not find a command that would allow me to directly find a route to a business name.
I noticed that when I use google map turn by turn directions, the audio comes through as a phone call. When I rent cars that have bluetooth settings, the directions just comes through over the speaker not as a phone call. I have an iPhone 6 and the latest IOS.
View 1 RepliesI have a 2001 Accent with 108,000 miles, 60000 less on the engine. It has become very difficult to turn the wheel, especially when still. It eases up some when the car is moving. The fluid was a little low so added some but still hard to turn when full. Is the pump gone or is it something else?
View 1 RepliesMy Nav voice stopped talking to me. I did ignore many turns because I knew better than she did but I didn't think she'd get that mad and give me the silent treatment!
Anyway, drove from Portland Maine to NJ this afternoon and hallway through the trip I have no more voice on the Nav, directions on screen worked fine. I deleted destination and then started it again and she still gave me the silent treatment. I haven't gone back and started it again since I've been home to see if she's over it and is talking to me again or not but I'll report back tomorrow on that.
2014 SFS 2.0T with only 8,000 kilometers...
I went out into the garage last night and noticed the Santa Fe brake lights were on. No other lights, just the right, left, and the upper brake lights. I tapped the brake pedal several times, I started the car and put it through a couple gear changes, turned the other lights on and off, but the brake lights remained on.
The brake lights would get a little brighter when the pedal was pushed. The brake lights would also flicker once in awhile. I'm thinking a short somewhere so I have disconnected the battery until I can call the dealer tomorrow.
The only thing I have added to this car is a Curt Hitch and wire plug (plug and play, no splicing). This was more than 6 months ago and there has been no problems.
I just changed the whole bulb set (front and back) to LED and now my turn signals are hyper flashing. I read about the additional resistors but I doubt there is any space, whether in the front nor in the back, to place this resistors. Now, I understand that changing the Flasher is not an option on the 2014 DM model.
View 3 RepliesRecently picked up a 2013 F150 XLT. Reasonably basic truck. Supercab, 2wd, 5.0L, 6 speed, trailer towing package with brake controller......
We are about to head out on a 2 week camping trip. We will be at one site for the entire 2 weeks, and the truck will be driven very little during that time. Problem is that numerous people go in and out of the truck many times per day, x2 weeks. My previous tow vehicle had a means for turning off the interior lights during the daytime, when the doors would be constantly opening and closing.
This truck has interior lights and exterior lights and puddle lights and probably lights I don't even know about that come on and stay on for about 15-20 seconds every time the door opens. It has a funky rocker switch, that I hate, for the dash lights, that doesn't seem to turn off the interior lights. (I forgot the owners manual for the truck at a relatives place a week ago, so I can't check in there). Is there a way to manually keep the lights off during the day to save my battery?
I have a 2013 FX4 (crew cab) and cannot figure out how to turn on the courtesy lights! I can get them to work individually by pressing the edge of the lights, but I believe the dimmer switch to the left of the steering wheel should turn them all on (both front and back).
The manual says to push the dash dimmer switch until they come on, but that does not work! An acquaintance has a 2103 Lariat and he can turn his on using the switch, but no luck for me. I was looking in some of my literature I saved when I bought the truck thinking this feature may have been buried in some package that I did not get. Am I missing something?
I have a 2013 F150 FX4. When the temperature is below 45 and the truck is cold the right high beam wont turn off if used, until the truck engine is warmed up.

I have a 2014 GS350 F-Sport and having issues with odb2 port.
So I have a odb2 scanner that I have been using on my other cars but when I plug it into my 2014 gs, it doesn't even turn on. I took it to the nearest dealership to have them test it out and they were able to connect it using toyota/lexus computer through odb2 port....
My odb2 scanner is from 2006... is there a different version of odb2 scanner that I need to get?
I have 3,500 miles on my RWD '14 F Sport. I have been noticing since its been getting colder, that the transmission is jerky for about the first 5 miles of my morning drive. It's like that even if I let my car warm up for a minute, instead of just taking off right when I start it. It's a lot more hesitant to downshift one gear for an incline. And when it does, it's slow, sloppy and then clunks.

View 1 RepliesHow do I turn the rear ac vents on? Can't figure this out at all!
View 1 RepliesRecently had small body work done on our 2013 ES-350. Apparently (I'm assuming), they disabled the battery at some point and then activated it as almost all of my hard-learned and requested settings were gone! So, just realized that our interior overhead lights do not come on automatically in the car as we enter it at night.
Also, have always noticed that when we want the heater to come on, it seems like it takes at least 5 min. or so before warm air is felt. in our old Jeep, takes 30 seconds! Usually activate it by raising the temp up with the up/down arrows. Seems like if I turn on the window defroster setting, warm air comes out rather quickly from there but not when we want warm air from the dash vents.
Also, as an OMG - when trying to find the above info, came across the instructions that there is a trunk button that I can use to open it up. Have always had to go thru the trouble of pulling out my key fob, not realizing this - geesh, only took two years to find this out!!
Now I'm wondering if there are other features that were turned off that we're not aware of. In fact, does it make sense that all the settings should have been disengaged like that for a door repair - is it possible they didn't remove the battery but something else occurred to have lost all the settings?
I have been searching the web and can't seem to find any information on replacing the turn signal halogens with LEDs on the 2013 ES350. Is there a hyper-flash issue? The Lexus LED Flasher Turn Signal Relay (81980-50030) doesn't appear to be compatible with the 2013 model. I don't really want to go the resistor route, am I missing something? I would like to install VLEDs Platinum 21 Amber(Front) and Red(Rear).
View 14 RepliesMy iPod usually plays just fine in my ES350, but once a week or so it freezes up. I have to reboot the iPod and then all is good for another week or so. I have two iPods; this happens to each of them. The iPods do not freeze up when tied into my home stereo system. Usually there is an iPhone in the car, using the blue-tooth connection; no hardwired connection for the iPhone in the center console. I am using an Apple connection cable, not a cheap knock-off cable.
