Default Lexus Ipod nano /IS250 Recall....Where to get one?

I see that the recalled 250's are getting one N/C, but I'd like to buy one to keep in the car instead of my 20 gig which I travel with.


Does anyone know if it's possible to buy these black ones with the Lexus logo, or if anyone got one and doesn't need it can I buy it from you? The lexus website doesn't show them as an accessory or anything.

Thanks

when a IS250 is recalled i think it comes directly from Toyota Motor Company, maybe you can email them to see if you can purchase one

I sold mine about a month ago in the local Craigslist. I didn't even know the back was engraved. Guess my buyer didn't mind. I already had a 4GB Black Nano in my IS.

Cheers,

I'm looking for one, too. I'm pretty sure no one will engrave it with a protected Lexus trademark.

Thanks, after checking ebay for many weeks, I ended up getting one from a member here. Sold my white 4gb Nano the same day. Same here, I prefer a dedicated iPod for the IS stays in the car, my 60gb Video stays at home inside. Surprising even 2gb is plenty for daily travel.

Oops. Missed this reply.

It was actually an Audi owner.

Now I had wished I had kept it.

You would think for what these cars are selling for, they would give us one. It would be a nice little perk, and I think a great marketing idea. But, I guess they would lose $100 or so per sale, not that money matters to them

I think most Lexus buyers already have an Ipod or other mp3 player. Why not a cellphone instead?

Seriously tho, it's tough to give away something that requries you to pay more for it (iTunes) in order to use it to it's potential.

Who doesn't already have a cell phone? Also, there is a monthly payment for cell phone service too.

I bought one from a CL member because I don't want to keep my regular iPod in the car, and it takes up too much space in the console. The Nano takes up nothing and holds plenty of tunes for the daily drive.

Why do you have to buy songs from iTunes to use it to its potential? I have ripped my 400 CDs to mp3 and I have never bought a song from iTMS.

There are other ways of obtaining MP3 files but that may be illegal so I have never tried it.
