went to the dealer for multiple TSIBs, disable DRL, mission accomplished
went to the dealer yesterday to have some TSIBs taken care of on my '07 IS250, and drove off happy.
I also made the mistake of not getting my LPS taken care of during the 5k complimentary service, and even though I've owned my car for 13 months (beyond the 1 year that you are allowed to have LPS changed for free) they were willing to do it for me without charging me.
I noticed that my front seat was squeaking when I rocked back and forth in it or moved around. Had that fixed with the "Front Seat Squeak Noise" TSIB.
I've also noticed some rattling coming from the front area of the car, which may well be because of the rear view mirror. So I'm having that fixed with the "Inner Rear View Mirror Vibration" TSIB, but have to wait for the parts to come in.
The AUX input has always had some pronounced background noise. Even simply turning up the volume without anything playing, I could hear the "engine whine" in the speakers as I stepped on the gas. So I had that fixed with the "Noise Form Auxiliary Port with External Device" TSIB.
And lastly I had the "Alternate Front Brake Pad" TSIB done to alleviate the front brake dust issue. The dealer not only exchanged the brake pads but cut my rotors for me while at it.
After the fixes, the front seat no longer squeaks, the AUX input is infinitely better, and the brakes perform just as well as I remember.
And to make the whole experience that much sweeter, I handed him my LPS settings, with the disable DRL setting circled, and they did it for me no questions asked.

Check some of the threads under the search feature, many people have had their 08's done without the TSIB. Depends on the dealer and how you present your case. My neighbor had an 06 IS250 AWD and brought it to the dealer because the brake pads were blackening her rims. She does not know a thing about cars or the TSIB. Her along with myself are very happy with the new brake pads as you will be. I don't think their is a foraml TSIB yet for the 08, but I am willing to bet you can get it done.

Lexus of Englewood in North-Eastern NJ did all of the above as well for me during my 5,000 Oil Change. They even did my brake fluid flush/refill after I asked them several times. It seems they didn't want me to "spend money" on something I really didn't need. which is cool in the sense they tried saving me money but, it's still something I preferred but was being denied at first . . . You could look at that both ways lol
