Yeah. Only the LS has it (for now).

It's a glorified cell phone integrated into the car. Not worth the $500 option in my opinion, but Lexus is tagging it on most LS (mine has it).

Oh well, I guess if it's a luxury feature, Lexus will provide it...

But all the so called "features" are identical to onstar???

If a bargain-priced GM has it....why cant they put them for all lexus owners?

oh well. luxury has its price, I guess....

Had OnStar in my Acura MDX, didn't think I'd ever use it and I never did.

Seems like the TeleAid system from Mercedes... glad my car doesn't have the option for it, it's a total waste of money.
