Is there any cool hidden feature of the 2002 Lexus is300 for example does all the windows lower down when the key is in the door, etc.

No. But the doors unlock when you press unlock on the key fob, and they lock when you press lock and if you hold down the trunk button...the trunk opens. It's pretty sweet.

Thank you. I tried the button a few times before and nothing, so I thought it didn't have that function. I never thought of holding the button down.

Other than that, the IS300 is really basic.

There is probably a mod available... I know there is a modification or something with Vdubs because my buddy did that to my xgf's jetta, they roll down function worked with the factory keyless entry remote. It was a cool modification. But she probably only used it like 5 or 10 times.... it's not something super useful....

Has anyone installed the truck horn on their Is300. Seen this done at a local meet thought it might come in handy in traffic

I haven't, but I've been driving my dad's 2004 Ford Ranger around.... the horn on that thing is a beast. I highly recommend it if you decide to "upgrade" a horn on any vehicle with an oem part. Definitely going to use one as my next horn in whatever I need one in.
