This week I decided to show all of you some of the things I've done with my LC500 that has made my life a little more convenient. Some will disagree with the choices I've made, but ultimately, the majority of these things have made things either more convenient or less annoying with the daily livability of the Lexus LC500. I hope that some of you can take some of these things and apply it to your cars so you can also reap the benefits. Enjoy and thanks for watching and all your support so far!

can you show the mirror tap point for radar detector? is that neck of mirror or from big black cover in winshield?

@RichWithCars 17 күн бұрын

The neck from the mirror is just a cover that you need to remove. Once you remove the neck, you'll be able to see behind the mirror the tap area. You'll also need to know which holes to tap.

Hi Rich, I'm interested in running a dashcam off my mirror like you did. I was wondering if the power that you are running your cobra off of the mirror is constant power or key on power? If its constant power, have you ever had any problems with the cobra draining the car battery? I was also wondering if you bought a separate wire that you could use to wire it into your mirror or did you modify the wire that came with your cobra? And lastly, if you have any pics or vids of what you ended up tapping into on your mirror do you have any links or anything to help me out for wiring it into my mirror? I don't like the idea of running wires around the interior of my LC so as you did, I think tapping into the power of the mirror would work better, and definitely look better. Thanks for any info you can provide and keep the good videos coming.

@RichWithCars 6 ай бұрын

Hey @shawnm2597 1) it's not constant power - the Cobra turns off when I turn off the ignition. But I still unplug it regardless just in case. 2) I bought the wire without any modifications 3) unfortunately I don't have pics or vids of the work I did, BUT I did use the link below to install mine. Should suffice in helping you out installing yours. www.clublexus.com/forums/lc-model-2018-present/911572-wiring-radar-detector-or-dash-cam.html Good luck!

@shawnm2597 6 ай бұрын

Thanks Rich. That helps a lot. The link has others that have installed different pieces of equipment to include some that used the constant power wire too (for parking monitoring). I will have to do some more research on which camera now as the new Sony starvis 2 sensors are starting to come out in the dashcams. Thanks again.@@RichWithCars

How much camera storage does the dash cam store? Looks great.

It all depends on the SD card plugged into the device. But it comes with a 16gb card, and it can go up to 32gb. Not the best but good enough....

Im sorry guys but I'm waiting for lexus to bring back the wood veneer and elegant wooden steering wheel. I hate a leather steering wheel for it looks cheap and it stains easy. Plastic everywhere with high-tech screens will eventually be outdated. I think you can never go wrong with raw elements like metals and woods that never goes out of style. If this LC500 had the elegant woods from the classic sc430 and a hard top too... It would be a hit with me. Its really dangerous to add too much tech to people who just want to drive a car without worring if the race model mechanical changes... too much stuff to eventually stop working. Give me the body and a beautiful wood interior, with analog speedometer and im good.

From my perspective, with the performance pack, turning radius is amazing. But that's because the performance pack has both rear wheel steer and variable steering ratios
