My wife and I got Motorola RAZR V3m cellphones from Verizon and they work great in our new ls460. Both phones are entered into the car memory and it automatically initiates connection with the last phone connected when you get into the car and start the engine. If you have the other phone you just to to info; select phone and then select and okay the other phone. Works through the car speakers great hands free. I use the Nokia 6620 for my 2005 LS 430 and it works perfectly.

What is the purpose of an AC Filter? Apparently it is not covered under routine maintenance. I had to pay $99.95 to have mine replaced during a routine 5,000 check, and this was on top of the $149.95 for oil change. Can this be done by someone who is handy and what would it cost?

Mileage seems way off. I was getting up to 27 mpg with my 2005 LS 430. I have 35,000 miles on it and before servicing, I noticed the 'required maintenance' light came on. I placed 93 octane, with 10% ethanol, in it and the mpg went down to 24 (highway). I had the routine 5000 mile service performed, so have to wait until this ethanol/gas is used up before deciding that it was a factor.
