^^^^For what it's worth, I'm with dojoman on the Tesla. Moving forward, let's stick to the content of this thread.
On that note, found another interesting discovery while I was installing my spacers and Lexus emblems on the calipers. The F-Sport has "aftermarket" Tokico shocks
. What about the non-F-Sport 3IS? Anyone know?

^^^ Has to be Dry or Canadian, but I can settle for BL
On the topic at hand, another "discovery". On my 2IS, I recall that when you went in manual (S) mode above a minimum speed, the transmission would always set the gear to 4th. That was annoying when you're at highway speed and engine revs unnecessarily.
On the 3IS, the gear is placed in a position that matches the speed so on the highway for instance, it would start in 6th (not 4th). Nice improvement despite the transmission hardware on the 3IS AWD being identical to the 2IS (obviously the software has been updated)

just discovered last night that when using the voice recognition button you can say "warmer" or "cooler" and the car will adjust the temperature setting up or down by 1.5 degrees by itself

I migrated from a 1st gen IS300 to a 3rd gen IS250 so practically everything is enhancement -- not sure if this was in the 2nd gen IS but there is a fold of material between the front seats and center console that is a nice touch for those who have lost their keys, sunglasses or cellphones in this area.

Nothing happend with the climate. Tried to view the settings, and no settings for climate. Only phone, nav and music.
Did you have to do anything special to make this work?
Are there any others that have gotten this to work?

I wonder if the dealer could set it to a two degree incremental change.
