  1. Woa hold up with the disconnecting of the battery. Just press the "Info" button next to the screen then "Screen setting" selection on the screen then selection of "Auto transition" to "On" Its that simple.
  2. McCarrs Creek Rd to Pittwater Rd to Barrenjoey Rd to Palm Beach One of the best drives in Sydney
  3. Barrenjoey Rd on a sunny Saturday heading up to Palm Beach in an IS250C with the roof down would be a very nice drive.
  4. Hey Jom I remember we were talking about this at the meet the other night. I would pay a little extra and get it through Lexus of Chatswood. Not that it will be covered by Lexus Australia's warranty as its not one of their products but because you've got somewhere to go back to it there is a problem.
  5. My understanding is that there was a change made to the later models (MY09 I think) that allows you to do it yourself. Prior to that it required the "IT" at a dealership to be plugged in to make the change. As to the windows going down/up by holding the button on the remote, this was the default setting on earlier models. Later models need to have this activated at a dealership using the IT. This change was made after an expensive owner incident.
  6. Really close??? It is the same, Ultrasonic Blue. Was ordered from the factory that way. Some good photos too guys.
  7. 10pm? I left at 8.30pm & it was cold then. Still great to meet up with some other Lexus fans and put some faces to people on here. Thanks to ilv1004s for organising. Cheers guys & def see you next time.
  8. Is there a method except for manual marking the spot on the map? Redundant post....but yes & adding a sound as the icon...the first bell is best. It gives a 200-300m audible warning. Plus for cameras that only get you going one direction the last sound icon adds the ablility of selecting which direction of travel it goes off for. Same bell sound as the first so all your marked cameras sound the same. There are several ways to mark the locations as well.
  9. The Sports packge is discontinued & replaced by the F Sports, with the wheels carrying over. The out going sport was based on the prestige. There are more differences than the IS-F rear spoiler & F sport grill. The interior is all black including the roof lining, on other black interior IS250's the head lining & roof pillars are light grey. The seats are IS-F seats(love these) but you do lose seat cooling as in the IS-F. The steering wheel is the IS-F wheel as well. They have also added memory seating, electric steering column, xenon's with AFS, electrochromic rear view mirror. Plus the side mirrors auto fold when locking the car which the prestige don't do. Not to forget that the Mark Levinson system is back. All new prestige with Nav no longer have ML or DVD. Which kinda sucks. Any way Terrry enough typing from me, I'm starting to ramble. I'll bring the F sports & leave the 250C for next time. See you guys in a few hours.
  10. I believe the speed camera locations are integral to the whereis data however there is no way of accessing them in a Toyota/Lexus nav system. It is simply not built into the system. This is a delibrate omission by most vehicle manufacturers on the grounds of good corporate responsibilty. It would just take the first young car full to die at speed for Today Tonight or A Current Affair to be bashing the car manufacturer for promoting speeding by having speed camera's avoided from factory. You can however program them manually. I am very suprised that the "How to program Speed Camera warning" instructions aren't pinned with the other how to's. Or did most of you not know you can program them?????
  11. 6pm.....much better. Now I can take my time & I don't have to worry about Double D's getting there. Anyone had a look at the new IS250 F-sport yet? Or the IS250C? Which one interests you more?
  12. What version Map data disc you run has no impact on changing the graffics of the screen. You could run a V12 disc in a MY10 IS250 and it will still have the same newer screen layout & functionality. Just won't have newer roads like the M7 etc. Unfortunately the reverse is true, older car with the latest disc will still have the older screen layout. Its not just the screen graffics that are different on the MY10 but also the functionality. You can do more things whilst on the move, the "I Agree" screen goes away without you pressing "I Agree" after about 10-15 seconds. Plus the phone works better with better functionality too.
  13. There is no warranty with Lexus Australia on a car that they did not import NEW from Japan.
  14. Pro Paint Auto Sydney Metro & Sth Eastern Suburbs Ph: 0418 299 568 Contact: Harry Giotopoulos propaintauto@bigpond.com.au These guys are used by Lexus dealers as they are the best.
  15. Definately not worth bringing to Australia. As you have pointed out the import tarrif/duty will kill you but then you have the problem of a non-Australian compliance IS-F. You will have several problems the last of which will be terrible resale as its not a warrantable Lexus Australia imported IS-F. Better to sell it over there and buy a second hand one here.
  16. I'm going to try to make it to this but I've got work until 5'ish See how early I can get out.
  17. Hey Gazz, I think you may find that this is the same type of kit you are after but cheaper. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=360223491078 If you buy either one post up your thoughts.
