Thinking to ship my car to Europ!!
Hi all,
I have a 2006 IS350... My job require me to live in Europ for 2 years... One of the cool things is they are willing to ship one car (both ways) at no extra charge at me (Currently i'm thinking to ship my IS350.. But the LS460L is a very possible option!)... I will be using my car temporally in Europ (2 years) then the car will be back to the USA.. I have couple questions:
1- Navigation: Can i update my ML Navigation to Europ maps?? Will i lose the US maps when i come back??
2- Radio: The radio spacing is diffrent between US and Europ.. For example, in the US, you can tune (AM) the following channels (540, 550, 560, 570, 580, 590, 600, 610...etc)... In Europ, they use (540, 549, 558, 567, 576..etc).. Similar this with FM.. US spacing is (90.1, 90.3, 90.5, 90.7, 90.9, 91.1...etc) while in europ (90.0, 90.1, 90.2, 90.3, 90.4, 90.5...etc).. My question is, is there any way to change the radio spacing?? I know in my freind's VW Touareg he was able to do that (with freindly dealer)... Is it possible with Lexus??
3- DVD region: US used region 1 for DVDs.. Can i change the region for DVDs (i guess Europ uses region 2 but i'm not sure)??
4- Cluster: is it easy to replace the cluster to KM instead of miles?? I know my cluster has tiny KM reading.. I'm just wondering.. Cuz the compnay might pay for that as well and pay again to put the original cluster back
5- Rear Fog lights: Any one know how to enable them??
