I'm thinking about buying a 04-06 Lexus LS430 but first I have a few questions about features on this car. Does this car/years have a Traction Control OFF Switch standard or is that something that is a option I have to look for? Second, is about Bluetooth. Does this car/years have Bluetooth phone built in Standard or is this a option I have to look for also? Also,, does the car need to have navigation in order to have Bluetooth phone? I do know that navigation was an option. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

All 04-06 have a TRAC OFF switch.

There are five package levels, each one including all the lower package options:
Base: These are rather rare.
Premium: Do not have Bluetooth or Nav
Modern Luxury: Do have Bluetooth and Nav.
Custom Luxury: Have Bluetooth, Nav, and lots of other goodies.
Ultra Luxury: The name says it all.

Neither Bluetooth nor Nav was available as an option independent of the package.

With the NAV comes the back up camera, which was the it item for me. Helps with parking by seeing and backing within an inch. The sensor is fine, but the beeping only guides you with about 6" and then you have to judge it.

How can a person tell by looking at pictures of a 04-06 LS 430 which car has the Modern Luxury package which includes the Bluetooth. Or better yet is there some way to just look at pictures of a LS430 to determine if it has Bluetooth? Thank you for all the info everyone,, its appreciated!

If it has Nav, it also has Bluetooth.
You will need to see a picture of the dash center console.

Are heated side mirrors a standard option? It happen to be cold tonight and I touched the side mirrors. I noticed that both mirrors are warmer than surrounding parts.

Mirrors heat up only when the defrost button is "On". Standard feature.

Hmm, my defrost button is not pressed. I wonder if i have a short.

The rear window defrost "on" also heats up outside rear view mirror glass.
