man ... i paid 80k for the luxury model ... looks like it depreciated big time.

So it's a no no :( Ohhh well ... How about changing the standard 10" sub to a better sub?

I am pretty sure a lot of you would think that the standard 10" subwoofer has no bass what so ever, and i'm pretty sure there have been many discussions about changing to a better subwoofer. My question is who has done it in this forum and could someone please take some pics and show us? Any suggestions on the various options to choose from? I've heard people left the standard sub and put another 12" sub + mono amp before. :P

While I agree with you the really BS part is the Sat Nav/Media Player not working while you are driving.......now that suxs!!! C'mon guys, lets be fair Whilst I like to have the latest and greatest, if the manufacturers didn't continually improve their cars I would have nothing to look forward too when it came time to update. I'll live without the auto mirrors and doors until then. I've spent the last 20 years driving cars with less features than what I have now, and look forward to the continued improvements. The satnav/media thing is just for safety. As the recent advertising has been spruiking, good drivers just drive. Surely watching a DVD means you are not concentrating on the job at hand, same with playing with the satnav. I know I sound like a killjoy, but I've had too many near misses with people distracted by mobile phones and sat navs to see any benefit in further distractions. Enjoy your ride, I sure do. :P Damn you ProjectIS ... you do have a point lol. Good thing I hack the DVD playing while driving to keep me outta boredom lol.

This really sux,I bought the IS250 luxury model on 07 and look at the facts below: 1. ISX/ISF 2. No Auto lock door on 07 model 2. No auto fold mirrors This is BS!

Why are almost all the car meetings I went to are located at Olympic Park lol ...

I feel ya, and I know exactly where ya car broke down too

You've gotta admit that our caps are damn attractive ^_^

Yeah I wanna know too, been waiting for ages.

Impressive, waste on a 152kW car though :P

I've been MIA for a while and I'll be overseas for a month also ... guess I can't try out the pad till at lease I come back. Please give us some review if anyone is gonna give it a go. :D

This is what I have in mind, what do you guys think? http://www.project-mu.com.au/en/products/pad_ns.php

what is a red out?

I wonder if those famous brands like Project Mu make pads for IS250 :P

Talk about the financial crisis and what Lexus is doing ...

Pics anyone?

Don't like that red, black middle is ok. Carbon look surrounded looks good but i perfer my wood grain unless i have the ISF engine =p

Hey akuma, Not sure myself at the moment, you would have to assume in the pilar, but I will look into it and let you know. Have you tried changing the microphone gain level in the diagnostic mode??( Headlight procedure). That should do the trick!! I have actually turned my one down because I had complaints about echoing. Seemed to do the trick!! Nope haven't tried the diagnostic mode at all, where abouts do i need to go once i'm in? Will give it a go tonight and let you know how it goes

Just a quick question because I can't be stuffed to read the manual ... just wondering where is the mic located in the car? Friends keep telling me to speak up.

At lease he has the extra cash to put a rack on, I'm running dry ... can't mod my baby -_-

I don't watch DVDs while driving, but you can't beat playing Metallica's S&M DVD in full surround while driving... So true, never thought of that one :P

I believe anyone could do it themselves (there is instruction on the drivers manual), you just need a small hand to get the job done. I recommend you use a spanner for the right hand side though, unscrew the bolt to free up more space from the washer tube, open the lid and change the bulb ;)

Hi Lexxy, I just purchased a new IS 250 and have already obtained 2 stone chips. Subsequently, I have been investigating car bra's, bonnet protection, etc and have found that clear 3M type film maybe the way to go. Then I came across your post regarding the clear bra you have put on your vehicle. Wondering if you can tell me whether your product has done it's job thus far ie: do small stones penetrate it and mark the paint?, Is it peeling off? Does washing the car affect it? Or any other relevent info!!! Regards, Maxi I think this topic will goes on and on as long as there is a new IS owner join this forum lol

I'll take a pic with my mobile if I remember this afternoon, you should be able to find some white ones from ebay too :gav:
