- This might be a setting, but I hate when I'm on Satellite and I'm on say, channel 2 and I want to go to 3, so I hit the arrows on the dash and for some reason it goes to the next favorite instead of up or down. So it'll go from Hits 1 to AM 570. I'm hoping I just haven't figured that part out yet.

For XM / radio channel up/down 1, just turn the right **** on the actual radio controls left or right.

Anyone else discovered the "ECO" setting on their car? I slid over the gauge on my F sport and scrolled over to settings and there It was "ECO" I turned it on and boom I got this on my dash. Even driving in Normal or Sport + mode whenever I'm not flooring it or applying too much gas or even cruising the car shows ECO!! In this case I was in ECO mode on the highway but will post another pic later today when in normal.

Doesn't matter what level the heated seats are on, when the car is shutoff and then started up, they default to the highest setting, instead of where it was left. I can understand the logic behind this, but I find it annoying. I park in an underground parking lot. I don't need them on high when I start my car.

Holy EFF!!! I just had a revelation in my car. This whole time I have been using the mouse to change from Bluetooth to my phone cord and it takes forever. I accidentally pressed mode with my thumb today and found out it changes sources. I feel like a total idiot for not knowing this before.
There is seriously WAAAAY too much technology in cars these days. And they say texting and driving is bad.

Hmmm -- I haven't used them yet here in CA but mine are off from start up -- I haven't tried turning them on to the smallest setting then turning the car off and on again to see if they light up to the highest setting upon start up.

Are you sure you are referring to the spec of IS in Singapore?
According to Leuxs Singapore web site, IS comes in 3 trims - IS250, IS250 F Sport and IS300h.
http://www.lexus.com.sg/en/models/is...specifications
In Singapore,
front fog light is only available in regular IS. Rear sunshade is not an option for all trims. There is only one package --- luxury package, and it is exclusive to is300h (probably due to higher expected demand there) .
It is not a surprise to see F Sport comes with leather, ventilated and heated seat with memory as standard equipment because of higher price tag and the way Lexus markets the car there. Similar case in Hong Kong (F Sport has similar standard equipment but in IS350 F Sport only. No IS250 or IS300h F Sport)
Finally, LED headlamps are standard in all trims (IS250, IS250 F Sport and IS300h).

I did pay USD$270,000 for my car.

It's especially annoying because it does not take a person to turn it on. I have been in a hurry and had mine turned on by the dog, a laptop bag, and groceries. Worse the dog (at under 50 pounds) weighs enough to make the seatbelt sensor buzz.

The cost of yours/Singapore residents "Certificate of entitlement" is ridiculous! The cert itself is worth as much as a super car...
