Cool/neat features of the IS that you discovered.
I found out last nite that if my key fob is on my body, I can go up to my side rear view mirrors, tap the bottom of it with my hand and the puddle lamps light up! The car's interior light would also light up too. I found this out by accident since I was showing a friend the puddle lamps and they just lit up when I touched them.
Anyone else have cool/neat features they'd like to share with the rest of us?
*Note: I know I could always read the manual to find out all of these things but in all honesty, who has time to read the manual?

since we can open our windows from the keys including the sunroof...since the sunroof has a dial wich will already be at close since the key was used to open it.....will it close when car starts to move?

On a related note, it'd be so much neater if Lexus had put turn signal lights on the rear view mirrors instead of puddle lights! The blinking turn signals on the rear view mirrors would look so hot!
