When you start the car, everything in the dash goes dark in the dash and the blue hands go all the way up and back. That is my favorite. Everything about this car is so Cool & Awesome..

Lexus IS-F start up in slow motion - YouTube
Same here! When I first test drove mine last year, the sales dude started her up and I watched the most amazing dash display I had ever seen....followed immediately by the meanest, throaty rumble (didn't know at the time it had read muffler delete)....I had to try to keep a poker face and not giggle like a child.

I'll never forget that moment.

I forgot this was possible. Will be epic every day from now on when walking to the uncovered parking lot.

Considering how difficult it is to negotiate a destination into the nav by talking to it, I love that you can touch the nav screen map, press Mark, and it will navigate to that spot.

I don't think I can close my windows with the lock button either. Why is that? Is it a a personal setting that I can change with the techstream?

yeah you can't if you have a US model, very lame, something to do with lexus having fears of people closing the windows on limbs and necks, ha. so the feature is disabled.

i think there was a post in a previous page on it.

Put the car in auto mode. While driving down shift with the paddle. This puts the car in to manual mode. Then simply hold the up shift paddle to re engage auto mode
