Door Handle Trim Replacement

TTLongIs — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 13:18:20 GMT

Hey Guys,

All four of my door handles chrome covers have small cracks� I�d like to replace them. Found video online seems reasonable to pop on and off. Has anyone attempted this and how did it go? What did you use?

Do you guys know if they sell OEM replacements vs Ebay knockoffs (Couldn�t find a number in the diagrams).

Does any body tow with their LX570?

We have a 2014 LX570 with about 50,000 miles.

Does anybody tow a camper or boat with their LX570?

Any special considerations?

How hard is a brake controller to install on these?
Where did it get mounted?

Trying to upgrade the ML system in a 2018....

Marco570 — Sun, 31 May 2026 18:24:24 GMT

I did the Hamilton premium upgrade for Android Auto/ Carplay (highly recommend).

So, I finally decided to upgrade my sounds.

Without fully doing my research, I bought an Audio Control LC7i pro and a Sony 8ES 8 channel amp.
I already have RF powered subwoofers (I bought both the 500p and the 300p 12, still trying to decide which one to replace my sony 10' xtreme box with a memphis amp.)

NOW, i am thinking i want to sell the AC dsp and Sony amp and get a Helix DSP amp (v eight, v twelve, maybe even v eighteen)
I figure the Helix can actually fit under a seat (the sony is pretty big).

My questions:

Anyone with the pinout to the ML amp (2018 LX)?
Am I able to let the ML amp to still power the center and liftgate speakers? Should I?
Can I use the powered speaker outputs from the ML amp to go into the Helix DSP amp?
Is it better to run an amp line to each speaker separately for tuning purposes?
Would replacing the OEM speakers give a bigger improvement?
Is an Audison amp as good as Helix for a green audiophile?

Replaced AHC globes, car won't lift

I've had my 2010 LX 570 for a couple of years. The ride was not always that great but it got progressively worse.

I finally decided to replace the accumulators. All look original with 3 with 0 diaphragm resistance. The pencil test goes all the way about 6 inches.

It's interesting to read the service history on this car.

When the suspension started acting up (my problem exactly) with the previous owner in 2020, he took the car to the Lexus in Tampa and instead of replacing these shot accumulators, they replaced the shocks. And then again in 2023. 16 years of history show no replacement of the accumulators. The previous owner finally dumped the car roughly a year later at a steep discount and now I feel bad for the guy, thinking that the solution might have been simpler

Anyway, I drained the system and replaced the globes and now the car won't lift. It has the C1763 error. I've tried several recommended solutions such as bleeding all sides etc. I also read that I need to bleed the HCA unit but I can't find it.

Anyway, I disconnected the battery overnight. Hoping that someone could give me some pointers. If I need to bleed the HCA unit, where is it? If that has nothing to do with it, how do I wake up the pump? It's also incredibly stupid of Lexus to put the reservoir where it is. There's no way to check the level. I topped it off with the car on low and it won't lift.

Hopefully you all can give me some help.

Thanks.

Aftern Rain Water inside

Hi all,

Did anyone experienced problem with rain water inside? After a heavy rain my lights were going on and off. After opening the driver side doors I notice wet carpet on left side just under the hood opener and also cables wet under the steering wheel and the left side.
Any idea what could have cause this?
