Really? I just bought one for the wife's tC. Genuine Scion accessory. The one for your xB is stupid cheap too. The replacement for a 2IS retails for $808.25.

Default Remarkable Resemblance here?





Looks to me like Lexus is buying mirrors from Gentex, and marking them up like nobody's business. Wait a second - does the new mirror lose the compass? Like this:



This one is even cheaper - $85 on eBay. Wow. I guess I can easily afford one of these for my Supra...

yeah...the one for the xB is auto-diming only...no homelink included...I got my gentex through eBay for about $125.45 shipped new. So it wasn't too bad...here is a picture of it.



and a picture of my box...lol

Wow it's the exact same mirror in my friend's Avalon. I do like the front layout of the buttons.

Anyone know if this applies to Canadian dealers too?

Yep - the compass can be turned on/off... I'm still glad it's fixed even though Lexus tighta$$ed out with this..

Cheap fix in a tough economy I guess...

I'd call the dealer's parts dept for part availability before taking it in. Provide service writer the TSB # and have him look it up when you check in.

I got mine replaced today.
First day of driving there was huge improvement on vibration with normal road driving with music off. but If you set the volume of the music around 30 with mild to heavy bass music it was about the same.
Also for me to get mine replaced, i had to goto dealer twice because they didnt want to order the part until it meets the requirements to get it replaced. so day1 check up and day 2 install both process took about 2hrs at the dealer.
The postion of the buttons were kinda weird but they dont look that much different when they were installed on the car.
Dealer Experience was outstanding. i enjoyed their free drinks and donuts

B.S. Sorry to hear that. I e-mailed my service advisor at Lexus of Seattle yesterday afternoon at 3:34 pm about it quoting the numbers in the forum. He responded via e-mail at 4:28 pm indicating he had order the parts and would let me know when they come in. May be this is the exception?
