Default Just picked up a new IS 350

Hi, New to the Lexus crowd... never owned a Lexus before. But wanted to say Hi...

I just sold my MINI and got a Lexus IS 350.

Smoky Granite
Black Interior

and this package

Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System includes Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System with backup camera and Bluetooth® technology, AM/FM radio and CD-changer with 13 speakers.
Additional Options:
- Premium Package
- 18-in Alloy Wheels with Summer Tires
- Preferred Accessory Package (includes Cargo net, Trunk mat and Wheel locks)

I was not ready to buy but they basically had the car I was going to order on the lot with 28miles on it and soooooo I was talked into it by the sales man.

Congratulations on your new car. I love that combination!

Enjoy the bells and whistles of your new car. Tint and chrome it, hack the nav system , and mod it like crazy. Check out the forum -- search for everything you want.

And welcome to the Club!

WOW! Hacking the Nav system! Thats crazy! I want to do it but I'm too chicken to. It is very annoying that I can access a lot of the stuff while the car is moving.

Welcome to the club, I'm sure if you spend enough time here the mod bug will bite and with all the knowledge you will gain you won't be as chicken

I'll bet that salesman didn't have to talk TOO much to get you into the car. They are truly great cars. Even with all the little things that sometimes "bug" us. Congratulations.
