SYDERIS250

Hi all, My IS250 is in for its (Overdue) service. New brakes and rotors - check. New front shocks - Whoa!!! Not if I have to only use Lexus parts..... Any suggestions for good after market shocks for the Lexxy? In Sydney <==== Thanks in advance!!! :)

Comes with the AUX cord. You will need the Car charger conenction + USB to Mini USB cord.

Okay, so the blacktooth unit arrived today (Blackberry bluetooth). The unit itself is about the size of a matchbox, only slimmer. Comes with AUX cord, and I ordered the USB/Micro USB car charger adaptor. Here is how hard it is to install: Plug unit in to Aux and power. Switch iPhone Bluetooth on Turn on the car. iPhone discovers Blacktooth - Enter 0000 to pair. You are now ready to roll! Set audio to Aux and start playing your iPhone music library. THIS IS THE AWESOME!!!! About 3 minutes in to me driving and enjoying the ease of use of the set up, my phone rings...... Music stops. Have conversation on the IS250 handsfree audio through the audio system. ***(See note and end on bluetooth) Finish conversation. Music starts again. AWESOME!!! Stop car. Music pauses, so you don't have to manually stop it. AWESOME!!! Get in to car with earphones plugged in to the iPhone. Start car. Music starts playing on audio system. AWESOME!!! Sound control via steering wheel. Track control still via iPhone, so you'd need a mounting plate if you want to see the tracks you're playing etc. Sound quality seems ok too. *** The iPhone can have multiple bluetooth connections, so you have your IS "Hands Free" connected at the same time as your blackberry bluetooth. AWESOME!!! Did I mention how AWESOME!!! this is for $107?

I have all my cars serviced at Reliable Automotive in Artarmon. They are honest, and essentially "Reliable". Full warranty book service, and yes your warranty with Lexus is still valid/covered. Just had my 90k service and spent all of $300. They will drive you to the station, or a cab to the city is not expensive. Yes, Lexus give you a "loaner" for the day, but for the extra $300-$500 I figure I can live without the "free" loan car....... I had Reliable recommended to me when I needed an honest mechanic to look at my BMW, and I have been using them ever since.

Bought mine online at: http://www.thephonestore.com.au as they accept PayPal. If you check on http://www.getprice.com.au you may find one cheaper. I think Techbuy in Silverwater may still have stock: http://www.techbuy.com.au As soon as I get mine this week I'll put up a post rating it.

Click on the video and then the "How to" Looks really straight forward. Plugs in to the AUX connector in the glovebox

I was checking options for audio/aux compatibility for my iPhone when I found this little gem: The "how to" is covered here: http://is-250.blogspot.com/p/music-streaming-using-bluetooth-a2dp.html So, I have bought the Blackberry Bluetooth Music Gateway and a car charger for $107 online, and should have it just after Australia Day. My colleague Dan is picking one up today from out near Silverwater in Sydney. Has anyone else tried this set up? It looks insanely easy to install and by the look of the video, also easy to operate. Works in conjucntion with phone. Uses steering wheel controls. If this works, for $107 every one should have one! I'll update once mine arrives, or I'm sure that Dan will add detail if he did pick his up today..... ==>> See my review a few posts down <<== This unit is awesome for $107!!!

See thread on IS250 forum for more pictures and post responses. http://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9390 I have been offered $1,200 for this set of 4 rims, and will accept this offer if none better comes through by Close of Friday August 27th.

Okay: The 18" Rims are now officially for sale. I have had a reasonable offer of $1,200 I will accept the best offer by private PM by 5pm Friday, so the new owner can pick up the Rims this weekend.

I've had two separate offers of $1,000. Still wondering if to keep them or sell them.

Heres the rims and tyres cleaned up. Slight kerb rash on fronts and one rear. Right front tyre looks to have seen better days. Tyres are Dumlop Sports MAxx. 225 40 R18 89Y Fronts 255 40 R18 94Y Rears

... and I would only sell them for the right price. Previous owner bought the rims new for $4k from the stealer. If I spent about $300 on the rims I could get them back to new condition in which case they could "theoretically" be worth $2k. I'm figuring that somewhere above $1,500 and I would consider parting with them. I don't need to sell them, and could happily store them in the back of the garage until the lease is paid out in 4 years. If someone thinks they are worth more than $1,500 then I'm happy to talk.
