SORRY IF THIS WAS ALREADY COVERED, BUT
I was driving home last night and I was the only one on the transition bridge so I gunned the car to 100 mph and I noticed that the speed indicator light that is generally yellow which I set to go off if I go over 80 mpg, turned red when I went over 100mph.
Nice surprise, but don't you all go out and try this! Wouldn't want you to get a ticket!

At night time, you will see two stripes of white light on the mouse -
The clip that mounts the usb cable can actually fit two wires instead of one -
Looking at the rims, I see that there are like a few metal tags on each, and I have no clue what they are -
And I hate that annoying gracenote crap -

I don't know if this is a problem just in my no nav IS300h or it's normal even for nav version.
In the steering wheel controls, there's something wrong. Look the picture:
The UP arrow change to the next radio station (but that one is down in the list.)
And the DOWN arrow moves the cursor to the previous station (up in the list)...

If you have the sunroof open to vent/popped up, then want to slide it back, you must first close it (using the button on the left) then you can slide it back (using the button on the right). This is the first car I've had where you couldn't go directly from vented to full open.

Thanks.

Good morning! Up in the upper left of the map screen there's a compass looking thing. Click on that with the mouse and it will cycle through the views (one of which is the 3D view).

You can change the color of your needle in the customization options (when you move the tach to the right). The color of the needle will change the color of the RPM "limit" thing. That little ghost of a marker can also be turned off entirely. You cannot specifically set what color the shadow is, but I want to say with a red needle, the ghost is white or blue, instead of red with the blue needle. And actually, I could be dreaming and maybe it's always the same color, but I know you can turn it off and on for sure.

Driving in D and the gear at the bottom reads 7. I decided to up-shift using the paddle shifter and the top reads D8 however the bottom stays at 7th gear. I also didn't notice the engine upshifting. I guess while in D, the computer/car decides when it is appropriate to shift and not the driver.

not sure if this was covered but I WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS!
on the 3IS, as long as all doors are unlocked, you can open the trunk by pressing the button below the trunk without having the key with you, or without having to press the trunk open button to the left of the steering wheel.
on the 2IS, you either had to have the key with you, or press the trunk button beside the steering wheel.
So now, the 3IS treats the trunk just like a door! Which is MUCH more convenient like a hatchback!

Hopefully it's better on the F Sport display, but on the non F Sport instrument cluster, the sun, coming through the sunroof, really washes out the display.

The good news is that's only a problem 3 months a year up in Seattle. Although Seattle days do seem to last 18 hours during those 3 months. (Sorry couldn't help myself -- having lived in the PNW 5 years).
