Q's about IS 350 on order
 

"They say" it will arrive by Valentine's Day.
Any help with a couple of q's would be nice.......

HKS not avail for build. Anyone know what HKS plans for the dual sport exhaust? Price?
Anyone performed any exhaust mods yet?

Ground Effects not avail for build. Anyone know what plans are? Pics? Price?

It is supposed to have an MP3 plug in the sound system. Any idea where? How assessable?
Is it worth it to get an MP3 for Xmas?

Thanks Gang...............

The mp3 plug is in the center console. No idea about anything else. I too wish the HK exhaust would be here soon.

Thanks Maximus.
Does your car play MP3 Cd's in the dash unit?

yes it does

we are still trying to determine if cars equipped with ML can play DVD mp3s

OK, I know I am dumb about this but I just tried a cd with all mp3 songs in my wife's RX330 and it would not play. Does it require something special. It indicated it was playing but no sound, and it only saw one track.

The RX330 doesn't have the capability to play native MP3's... They have to be burned like a regular CD.

However, the IS can play data-based MP3's.

It is definitely worthwile to get an iPod for Christmas. I have the Nano which is my dedicated iPod exclusively for the IS350, goes in there never comes out (except to changeout music).

Thanks guys.
Ken, can you change songs using the dash unit or do you have to navigate the nano to select songs?

right now i have to use the nano itself.

still looking for an auxillary connection that will allow you to change songs using the dash unit....

Congratulations on your special order! Give us info!!! Cause CL jealousy!!!

Dual sport exhaust will be available "Spring 2006", which should be around the time in which your car will arrive. I think the estimate price is $700.

That will be available by "Winter2006" which should be early next year. It's about $2400 for the full kit through the dealer, but you can get it for about $1200 online. Check out the CL search engine. Best pics can be found on Lexus.jp website.

The http://luxurymotors.com link did not have any 2006 IS350 stuff on it.
What is this CL and ML quotes I see on the forum.

On Oder:
IS350 Tungston Pearl, Black perforated interior with metal trim, Sport package.etc.

Wife picked up her 2005 RX330 about three weeks ago. Good deal on the 2005.

I just wish it was Valentine;s Day tomorrow.

CL = CLub Lexus
ML = Mark Levinson

Duh, I knew that. if I hada Thunk.......

Thanks Phillip

Sewell Lexus has the PAINTED ground effect kit for about $1200 ($400 each for front, rear and side--don't know about shipping) and I think CL members get 10% off. I wonder if it can be easily attached over the existing spoilers with screws.

maybe an stupid question - but why burn cd (or dvd if you have navi) with MP3's, and skip all the extra costs associated with Ipod + Interface?
