2010 Is250 Sl - Features Or Bugs?!

[Subby]

I've just got my newly purchased 2010 IS250 Sports Luxury settings done by the dealer.

The following are changes observed between the 2007 version and this one:

• The locking/unlocking beep seems much louder - can this be adjusted or is it a single setting?
• The seatbelt chime seems much louder too - can this be adjusted?
• The "Screen Off" button needs to be reset each time you check a display eg Climate Control - in the 2007 version, the screen switched off after 30 or so seconds or by a 2nd touch of the button - dealer says this is a design feature - is this fact or fiction?!

Subby,

I know, this is a really late reply, but ...

I'm not aware of any way to adjust the two chimes. I see our forum "how-to" for disabling the seat chime didn't work for you, either.

As for the third matter - your dealer was talking fiction. Press the Setup button then, on the screen, press General. Toggle the Auto screen change option to On, then press Save.

Thanks for the advice, Lance - worked like a charm !!!!

And BTW, liked your writeup on the new 3IS - wish I could afford it !!
