Hey all, i used to own a gs4 and sc3 and now I am back to Lexus after dabbling in bmw and subaru (never again on the scooby)!

Just picked up this 2011 ct200h, 43k miles, i'm pretty happy bout it, rides nice and ZERO problems (other then the seatbelt light and airbag light on, its still under warranty so i'll take care of that tmw if it's a problem!

Just going to use this as my mod thread-

Airbag light was occupant error, reset, then it came back on. Goes back on friday.
Carista app used to turn off reverse and open up windows with remote.
Using gas app to track how far i can actually go on a tank of gas without fueling too early or too late
Added pics of LEDs from Luxury mods!
added pic of 4 inch short black antenna from ebay
Added DDM 4300k HID 35w Kit and Hoen foglights




I'm jazzed about being back to Lexus!

I think you are driving my car . looks just like mine . hope you enjoy it, I went from a loaded Prius and can be happier. other than the small back seat I love the car. looks like you got a good price

Cannonbear

haha you have good taste sir!

I got a great price and extended warranty, i dunno how useful it'll be, but after my forester disaster the peace of mind is nice!

the seats and car are all smaller then my forester, but damn its just an overall nice car!

Anyone carry some pooches in the back? did you fold seats down or was the hatch area comfy enough? i have a medium sized Australian Shepard and a 90 lb basset hound, they may want to go to the park in this!

Congrats on your CT purchase. Great car...I have a 90 pound German Shepard and he fits just fine in the hatch area,

OP, congrats on the new-to-you purchase of the CT! You will thoroughly enjoy this Lexus hybrid and appreciate everything about it. Mine is the same year as yours except mine was purchased brand new (7 miles on the ticker IIRC). It has 47k miles now and I have not come across a major issue on it other than a couple covered by the factory warranty (one was a recall on the exhaust gas control actuator, and the other was to replace the center console locking latch which was sticking). I am confident the Lexus CT will last for many more miles and years, and I'm sure yours will too!

Feel free to ask anything about the CT and we'll be glad to help you out Welcome to the family!

Thanks all!

I want to add satellite radio to it as I have the button and would rather use that then my phone. Any good options at adding it to the stock radio?

Edit- Well it seems like i have the preview of it, now i just need to subscribe!

Had some time today between errands and finally got my bluetooth obd2 adapter. I loaded up carista and set the windows to roll down with the remote and no more reverse beep! Well worth the 19 bucks. Still have to go to Lexus for the passenger airbag off light. Some more pics, once the weather dries up I wanna hit the coast!

I'm on the fence about subscribing to satellite radio, any experiences?

Congratulations on getting a CT! I got mine back in March 2011 and I have over 81K miles and runs great.

I have Sirius XM and love it. It was completely free for the first year and I pay a yearly subscription. I love the XM traffic as well.

Happy driving and you'll enjoy the mpg's...

Awesome choice.

I recently bought a CT too.

Cannonbear

That's great, how ya loving it?

I just purchased a ddm hid kit, hoen fogs, led package from lextasy (including reverse lights) and a short antenna.

Not looking to go crazy on the mods, but definitely coilovers and some spacers should round out the changes.

In my quest to find out how far I can really go on this gas tank, i'm slowly refueling at different points when the lights go on. I can go at least 100 more miles, I may have to tread farther with the light on...

Great looking car! Congrats

Just got Luxurymods Led package (I said lextasy for some reason, brain fart). They came really fast. i was able to get most all installed except puddle lamps, wanna wait til i can take more time on that mirror, dont wanna break it.

the only issue is the license plate bulbs dont seem "white". Ill look more at night but they seem off.

How was the LED swap in the mirrors? Which directions did you use? I still need to do mine!
