Got my GS Today!..and a Question re: Phone/Email
Just picked up my 2013 GS350 AWD today! Black/Black with Premium, Performance Pkg; Intuitive; Blind Spot; Cold Weather and Navigation of course.
MSRP - $55,927; Selling Price (after Conquest and some Certificate): $52,500 - Lease price with everything rolled in (nothing out of pocket at all and first month payment by Lexus) is $585/mo for 36/mo. - 10K per year. Happy with the deal as the price without taxes (NY) per month would have been $510 or somewhere near there.
Been playing with all the technology (and not working like I'm supposed to) but have a question re: audio system reading email. Is there something that has to be set up for this or is it the same thing as reading texts, which it already does? Thanks - sure to have more questions, but can't wait to drive this at night and see how it lights up!

Congrats!!
Your phone has to support the Bluetooth Messaging Access Profile for email text-to-speech to work. Go to www.lexus.com/MobileLink/ to check your phone's compatibility. Note that you are out of luck if you have an iPhone. 
Assuming your phone is compatible and you already receive emails on your phone, just pair your phone to your GS via Bluetooth for this feature to work. Instructions for pairing your phone to your car are below, in case you need them (this is from the Lexus mobilelink website).
On the Navigation System
1. Press the "Menu" button.
2. Select "Setup"
3. Select "Bluetooth"
4. Select "Registered Devices"
5. Select "Add New"
6. Enter or confirm passkey if prompted by phone.
On the Phone
1. Select "Settings" from the main menu.
2. Select "Bluetooth"
3. Ensure Bluetooth is ON.
4. Select "Car Multimedia" from the list.
5. Enter the PIN or confirm the passkey shown on the vehicle display.
6. Select "OK" or "Pair" if necessary.
After the initial pairing is completed, and if applicable to your multimedia system, enable messaging features by accessing the phone's Bluetooth menu.
First, select the ">" symbol to the right of the paired multimedia system's name that is currently showing Connected, and turn on "Show Notifications".
Then, disconnect/reconnect the phone using the multimedia system's controls.

Thanks so much! Excited and everyone at work is commenting how much they love it as well - its a looker definitely! Thankfully I switched from my iPhone to Galaxy SIII so looks like it will work (at least the text portion). Thanks again!

Are we able to get the voice to read text messages while driving? I've had my car for less than a week, have synced my bluetooth fine but text messages do not appear on my monitor...
