Bluetooth def did not come until 04-06 model years. Dynamic cruise was laser based on all models except for in 04-06 models with PCS - they were radar based.

I love my laser cruise. I use it as soon as it becomes available ( 30MPH)

The LS 460 is a fine car, but with its high waistline, flame styling, and gun-slit windows, it looks too much like Buicks, Acuras, Hyundais, and numerous others. Although the LS430 copied some M-B styling, it has a more distinctive classic look that wears well with time. The current styling trends of the Hyundais, Buicks, Acuras, etc. is going to die out at some point in time. What is going to replace it? I have no idea.
