  1. I have a 2014 gs300h with DAB radio. unfortunately it doesn’t pick up any of the BBC National stations. can this be remedied?

  2. Hi,
    I have a 2021 NX Premium Sports Edition with DAB radio. The signal on DAB keeps cutting out for no apparent reason and shows “No Signal”. It happens so frequently that I have to revert to MW. It is extremely annoying and frustrating and I find this to be unacceptable with a premium car. I have had DAB for several years in my previous vehicles and never had this problem driving my regular routes as I do now. How can this be rectified, please?

      1. As you requested, I have contacted the multimedia support team at : https://fal.cn/3h05O two or three times now.
        I have not received any acknowledgement or reply.
        I assume that this is not usual, so would you ask them to reply please.
        Thank you.

        1. Hello Greg,

  3. Hi
    I have a 2012 IS200D F-Sport with the touchscreen nav. Can you tell me if this is fitted with a DAB reciever? It has the physical button on the center console but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

    Thank you

  6. Hi I have recently purchased a LX300 69 plate and the Dab radio is very poor and the majority on the time has no signal, the only station I seem to be able to get is BBC2.

    Any help appreciated

  7. I have just bought a Lexus 200h S, AX17***.
    I have 2 issues, the first and most important is the sat nav screen at night. My last 200h Luxury, the screen changed to night mode with a dark background. My new cars screen stays white and is vey distracting. I have checked the settings and cannot find any why to change this.
    Secondly, the DAB radio will only find BBC radio channels which I am not happy with as my last car had a wide range of chooses. I have tried resetting channel in a number of different locations within a 200 mile range.
    Any help with these issues would be most appreciated.
