Default All-Weather Package!?

Does anyone have the All-Weather Package!?

Can it be combined with the F Sport Package!?

Lexus' website is terrible. :|

You are not alone. I had same question and bad experience with the website. As per my dealer this option is not available with F sport package. So I gone with AWD and you still get heated front seats with F sport package. Hope this helps :-)

Wonder how people feel about the windshield wiper deicer and water repellant glass!?

Doesn't seem like anyone has same though.

i have this on my GS and the only way to turn it on is to navigate to the climate control screen and select it with the joystick, its also on a timer, frustrating to use.

Okay; gotcha. On the IS, it's a button to the left of the steering wheel, I believe.

Does it work well to free up the wipers? Where does it deice; lower windshield?

Thanks.

yea there is a section of what looks like the rear defroster grid lines running under the glass. i just read the OM on the gs and it cautions not to touch glass while in use or you may get burned. i didn't think it got that hot!
the 1 time i was going to use it we were in a snow storm, definitely had a lot of snow and ice on the lower section of the glass. I assumed using the front defrost would have activated it, was disappointed to see it did nothing for the ice on the lower section. then i read the manual and found out where to turn it on.
so until the next snow i cannot comment on how good it does or does not work.

Okay; got it.

My Range Rover has a heated windscreen, but it only helps defrost same, doing little for the wipers; so I'm interested in Lexus' 'wiper' deicer, which must be helpful.

Otherwise, does your GS have a heated windshield washer fluid tank?
