hey ppl! Just got a SC300 and i can say i'm very happy with this car! the best thing i could have gotten for my money! I just have one question - the battery light comes on the dash when the car is idling and the radio doesn't want to come on. Can you tell me what this is due to? i guess that this is because of an old battery (the car still has a factory lexus one which i'm guessing is something like 13 years old)
