I bought my IS 250 new and it came with a 3 month free XM subscription which at the time I did not really take advantage of; fast forward to 2019 and a get a deal for a 3 year subscription which I signed up for. However, I find now that I get a horrible signal I am constantly losing and I don't even get one full song to play. It doesnt matter if it is a cloudy or clear day or where I am, the signal is constantly lost and the music plays in pieces if at all most of the time

Hello Gloria, would you have photo available showing where in the  vehicle, the XM satellite tuner was installed from the factory (trunk etc.) Would any other member have a photo of factory installed satellite tuner (2006 - 2013 IS 250 / 350)

Have since confirmed the following part numbers to be correct for 06 - 2010 IS 350 equipped with (ST) Sport package / sport tuned suspension;

Understand this to be an older post however, wanted to confirm the following statement; Until 2010 the SAT receivers were optional and dealer installed. So even if the vehicle has a SAT button, you need to buy and have the tuner installed in order to subscribe to satellite radio.

Does that mean the wiring to the roof antennae / radio is already in place, and just need to install the satellite tuner / module as shown here;

Welcome Vin,If not mistaken, the (XE) X Package included the same sport tuned suspension as included with the  (ST) Sport Package, which lowers vehicle 0.4 inches front and believe keeps the same height in rear as vehicle without the package. Vehicle with the (FK) F Sport suspension option, lowered vehicle .5 inches front and rear I believe.  

You could install the IS F suspension components. TOKICO manufactures the shocks for the IS F however, part number on OEM installed shocks differ from the TOKICO catalogue I believe;     TOKICO (06 - 08 IS250/350):  HX3797 - Front Right / HX3798 - Front Left / HX3799 - Rear Right & Left 

(FK) F Sport package components or the F Sport aftermarket parts; PTR13-53095 RIGHT AND LEFT REAR F-Sport shocks, are another option. 

Vin, if possible, would you be able to confirm your front / rear shock and spring part numbers, associated with your vehicle VIN with dealer or via search here, and provide the part numbers;  Lexus Of Warwick https://parts.lexusofwarwick.com/oem-parts/lexus-coil-spring-damper-4834130110 

Im interested in installing the suspension shocks / springs installed in vehicle with the Sport Tuned suspension; (XE) X or (ST) Package, such as yours, but have no way of confirming correct part numbers. Any additional information would be much appreciated.

Understand this to be older posting however, thought I'd provide some additional information on 2006 - 2013 IS 350 reverse camera view.

While LCD Display screen is ON, place vehicle in REVERSE. When rear camera view is displayed on screen with "Check surroundings for safety" displayed,  select DISP button on the left of the LCD screen (below AUDIO and above INFO buttons). When pressed, Color, Contrast, Tone, Brightness will be displayed with factory default settings set. May be able to fine tune each for better camera view. Click OK after any adjustments.

Keep in mind that if you change your own oil and do not have any proof or documentation, you probably will not be able to get Lexus to pay for any repairs under warranty. I take a few photos when I change mine (odometer, draining process, filling process, and new filter next to old filter).

I have never seen an oil filter like this. What kind is it?

backwoods lex, are you referring to oil filter cartridge as shown below;

Hello,

Am contemplating possible purchase of 2012 IS 350. Interested in knowing if there are known items / issues associated with this vehicle to be aware of during walk around / test drive.

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
