Default Finding new things every day with this car..

Just realized in the garage tonight that just walking up to the car with the key in your pocket turns on the interior and outside mirror lights .. Also just found the tiny LED just behind the drivers side sun visor that shines down over the steering wheel.. Amazing details that go into these cars..

Also figured out that your parking lights or headlights need to be in the on position for the floor lighting to turn on. If they are off or in automatic, the floor lights never come on.. whats with that ?

Need to find a hack to make the outside mirrors fold in when the car is turned off.. wondering if we can just get a switch/relay or something from the LS430 since theirs do..

The auto folding mirrors should be in the optional package. I don't think there is such a mod to activate it.

I don't know about that. I have an '07 GS350 with nav and Mark Levinson so it should have everything but the power mirrors do not fold automatically.

Kuch123, do you want me to tell you more nice details? Or do you want to find out about them yourself?

Glad to hear you're enjoying the GS, it's a great car!

I've noticed a lot of nice details about the GS 350 but i don't know if they're new or from the 06. I love the LED lighting, even in the rear license place area.

License plate lights seem too bright to me. I'm considering putting tint film over them.
