IS-F: radar cruise control and ventilated seats?
I'm looking to buy an IS-F and would love to have these two features. From what I can tell it looks like they might not be offered in the IS-F. Is that true? If not, how do I easily check for the radar cruise control option? Is it this bottom-left button?
Thanks!
Thanks!

08 fully optioned here, neither are available for my ride... Perhaps a more current model owner can help you.
Ps: Don't pass up this car simply for the two things you mentioned... They are great cars!

The cruise controls (1-3,5) work on all IS Fs, but #4 is intriguing. I don't believe I've ever seen it on any IS F before. And no IS F comes with ventilated seats, just heated. Great for the winters, but absolutely pointless if it's a really hot day to begin with.

Mine has it (had to special order) and here's how you can tell:
You can check for radar cruise based on the distance button on the picture #4 or also by looking at the 'L' logo in the front of the car.
If it's glass, it has radar as the sensor sits behind it.
If it's hollow, it does not.
bnizzle is correct. There is no ventilated seat option, only heated.
List of other options:
HW Headlamp Washers
NL Nav + Mark Levinson 14 speakers
NV Nav
PS Lexus Pre-Collision system (PCS) & Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
WO Intuitive Park Assist (Parking Sensors)
PCS is pretty neat. If the radar senses you're on a collision course/losing control of car and there is no way to avoid it, the front seatbelts will actually retract pulling you into the seat more tightly. I believe it also adds more braking force as you start applying the brakes as well in this situation.

And has also been stated, we have heated seats but not actively ventilated/cooled seats.

Our IS F seats are neither ventilated nor cooled..
The dial for heated seats on goes one way into the red 3..
My 08 IS350 seat dials rolled into the red & blue opposite directon for ventilated.
The IS F seats were designed with out the intention or FITMENT of the cooling fans built into them.
They fixed that problem on the RC F, based on customer feedback.
