ISF Quirks Thread
I love my car. It's a fantastic machine and fits my driving style like a glove. What quirks or things have you noticed that you would change if you had the ability to?
I have a few things that would require a simple firmware upgrade at most:
I have a few things that would require a simple firmware upgrade at most:
- Allow us to input addresses in the nav unit when in motion
- Enable CD-text information
- Enlarge the gear indicator on the dashboard to the size of the "F"
- Allow us to change the personalized settings ourselves using the same menu that lets us initialize tire pressure, enable park assist, etc. Or, put it in the NAV unit to let us change the settings there. I would like to turn the footwell lights off, but what if it turns out I like it? Then I have to schedule another appointment and pay to have them turn it back on? Bleh.
- Remove the "F" emblems from the exterior doors and from the carpet. I spent the money on this car, I know what I bought. I don't need to be reminded.
- Change the type of display that shows the clock and passenger airbag. It looks like old technology. It's not sleek or "Lexus" looking.
- Change some of the indicator lights on the dashboard. The Lexus "look" on the dashboard is from the uniform lighted display technology. But some of the indicators (park assist, etc) appear to have a bulb behind them causing a non-uniformly lit icon with hot spots.

You're in luck. Check out this post by Javier. I got one for $12.99 from Target's. They have ones for Nokias, Blackberrys, Samsungs, AT&T, etc. It's awesome because I can close the armrest now. Here are a couple of his pictures showing it bending 90 degrees.

Use cigarette lighter
I had the same issue with my IPHONE car recharger using the arm rest compartmental one; it did not allow me to close the top and was very awkward. I removed the cigarette lighter and use that source now and it has solved the problem and actually provides a nice resting place for the Iphone. I may consider investing in the above mentioned modification as well..

The thing that bugs me most is when I am on the freeway and I downshift a couple of gears and go WOT. The car downshifts to ~ 4,000 RPMS then hesitates for a second (it actually slowly accelerates during the hesitation) before taking off. Do others have this issue? I can't wait for a software correction.
