First let me apologize if i shouldn't have started a new thread. At the risk of sounding like an idiot i am not familiar with exactly how this goes. A brief introduction of myself....
I joined CL i want to say 10/13. At that point i had an 09 Matador Red with Cashmere interior ES 350 NO NAV Turned it in with 26000 miles(Purchased it with 14000). I liked it just wasnt fun to drive. It was smooth to drive just not FUN. About 2 weeks ago i purchased a 08 GS350 70,000 miles.. I know its a downgrade but i love this car so much better. Figure if I'm making payments might as well get something i love.
Its an experience. Its the metallic Silver with Black interior, Nav RWD.
I have questions.

1. Is there a way to have the side view mirrors fold in automatically when i lock the car ?

2. Is there a GS that has a black interior roof ? I don't understand why the just don't black out the interior.

3. Is there a NAV/ Bluetooth override for mine ? I beleive i have a 3rd Gen GS which has 5th Gen Nav.. Correct ?

4. Can anyone offer insight as to the best way to maintain the GS besides the obvious ?
Anyone have any tips or Tricks ?

Again please forgive me if this is not how im supposed to post questions.
I have never been a "car" guy but now i can see how it becomes an addiction. I'm thinking about so much i would like to do to it.
Thank you everyone.

 

I think the GS350 is much better fit IMO... Welcome

 

I'd say you upgraded.... GS > ES

Unless you meant by the years.

 

Really works for the 3rd gen GS?

 

D'oh. I did not even catch that it was for a different car! Thanks. I deleted my erroneous post.

 

This excellent thread recommends Seafoam. I think I'm going to try it.

 

Agreed. But yes year and mileage downgrade. But i am beyond happy.

 

Yes much much better. Thank you

 

Thank you for the info but it didn't work.
Keep in mind my GS does have a button to manually open and close the side views.
I wanted it to do it automatically.
Thanks again.

 

Vaistech probably has what you're looking for on the nav/bluetooth. I don't care about bluetooth, but I love my Vaistech unit. I don't have to push the "I agree" button anymore either.

 

Congrats on the upgrade and the sideview mirror mod is something I would be interested in also, but I have had no luck searching for someone who has done it already.

Too much work lol.

 

check your owners manual under customize section, its the smaller book. I will so it later and then post the directions on how to close the mirrors when you lock the car!
welcome to the club!

 

Thank you for the link.
Don't think i would attempt doing that.
But it is sexy....
