Wish I would have seen this before I purchased, I actually looked at all three cars.

Hello All, I will be honest about this and please don't be *BLEEP*ed but I paid a lot less for my car. I live in Santa Monica CA and I contacted 6 dealers and looked for 6 weeks before I made my purchase. Use the internet to your benefit. Have someone email you a price and then use that at other dealers to get them to beat it. 1. 2007 2. IS 250 with Nav, 18" wheels, XM Installed 2. $37,500 MSRP 3. 33,500 Invoice 4. $33,000 including XM ($700 value) 5. 10/27/06 6. Westminster Lexus 7. Internet 8. The only bad experience I had was the dealers that did not know anything about the car. I had an offer from one lexus dealership that a few others said they would match or beat and then realized how good of an offer it was and refused. Don't rush and don't pay over invoice. I started at $1000 over and after 5 weeks I had them to $200 over and then I got lucky on the web with a dealer an hour away who wanted me to buy from him. I took his email to 3 other dealers and they said they would beat it by $100 bucks but they did not have the car instock. Be ready to walk away, they need your business you don't need their car. Good Luck Bobby C

I have owned a Pioneer AVIC N2 in the past and it had the same restrictions on viewing DVD's and inputting addresses while the car is moving. In order to bypass this restrictions I had a switch put in on the nav antenae. when you turned the switch on the power to the antenea was cut and you could enter what you wanted or watch dvd's. turn the switch back off and the gps had to find itself again but would work just fine after a few seconds. This is the only solution that I can think of. Talk to people who have the Pioneer unit and they will explain it to you. Good Luck... I am going to wait abit before I pull my cover off and try this but if anyone has guts please let me know if it works. Bobby C
