One of the things that annoyed me was the inability to rip .mp3 or .WMA files directly to the hard drive. But there's actually a really easy workaround.
I belong to a private audio hub, and it's got some pretty specific naming conventions and only allows full albums to be ripped.
So I simply converted all of the .mp3 files back to .CDA, which is what a normal audio CD uses. It ripped them back to .mp3 and kept everything in tact. I am assuming the same will happen if you convert a bunch of random .mp3 to .CDA and pop in the player, but I haven't tested it yet.

Loading Phone Address Books
I finally got a Blackberry (8830) that will transfer all the contacts to the car. Here is a tip (learned the hard way). You probaly have hundreds of numbers you don't want on the car but the cell phone transfers all at once. Tranfer all your contacts to ANOTHER GROUP (01,02,etc) and don't use the default "No Group" 00. This way you can reassign the numbers you want to keep to new groups and then DELETE the download group with all the contacts you don't want in one pass. If you dump into Group 00 (default No Group), you have to delete one at a time!!

i try to transfer my contacts to the car, when i hit the transfer button, my phone's bluetooth was disconnect from the car by itself and on the nav screen it show phone's transfer but it took forever to finish the transfer, I could not wait that long so I press the cancel button. I try this like 10 times already and they was took so damn long. why is this happen? anyone know?

In other way it shows that it works in auto mode but all the time it takes air from outside.
I founded this out after several months of complains of my ls, and at last Japanese answered that it should be like this. Going to complain dealer for lower price for next lexuses for this not fully working option..

Update on the cell phone transfer. When I first told thephone to transfer, the NAV system popped up the transfer in progress screen - BUT the phone then immediately said bluetooth connection lost. I found out by accident that I just had to hit the file transfer selection ON THE PHONE again and suddenly the NAV showed the transfer going on. I transferred over 550 contacts in about one minute.
Prior to that, I thought the bluetooth was really lost - apparently it was not and hitting the file transfer instead of messing with "re-linking" the bluetooth, it worked.
Hope that helps. Again it was Blackberry 8830 - Verizon (supposedly the worst one to do file transfers)

is there a quick way to close all windows and sunroof at the touch of one button? Like the roll down option works by holding the unlock button down on smart key.

Nope, Lexus disabled this feature on the US spec cars. Same deal on my IS - what goes down does not go up.
Interestingly, Lexus has most of the features discussed across the model line. My IS has the rear sunshine with auto retract, the smog detector w/sensitivity settings, ventilated seats, etc. Of course, no auto trunk.

Overseas the remote works for auto up and down. In the US Lexus is too paranoid about litigation.
