Thanks for all the help. It looks as if I will be purchasing a GPS and placing it right in the middle of my Navi screen -- How dumb does that look :0) ?!?! I'm with you, laviticus, my wife will not be happy about that either ... But what can you do but deal with it! Rob, I am a Soldier stationed in Germany. I own a 2007 IS 350 and have the same problem that you will have once you transfer here to Germany. I have been unable to find a DVD with German road maps that are compatible for my navi. I have been told by a dealership here that the required American specs DVDs do not exsist. I have further been told by the German dealer that I could purchase a German Navi for my car for around 2,500 Euro, however, he could not garantee that it would function properly in my car. I was recently in Las Vegas where I inquired at a Lexus dealership and was told that it would cost $17,000.00 to have the European Navi installed into my car there. I find it baffling that Lexus has not been able to or refuses to assist in this increasingly annoying problem. As it stands now, I am looking for a Garmin or Tom-Tom that I can attach to the screen of my navi to help me get around Europe. Senseless, right!! Oh and BTW my wife is furious!!!!!

Good afternoon all! I'm in the AF and starting in March 2010, my wife and I will be stationed in Germany for 3 years. I wanted to inquire if there is an English navigation disc for Germany that I can install in my '06 Is 350? Is this something I can purchase from a dealer, or will I have to purchase from an aftermarket retailer? It would defeat the purpose of having NAV if I had to use a Garmin or Tom-Tom GPS :0) Thanks in advance for any assistance! Rob

They didnt try to reset it. i told them i would take care of it!

I had my oil changed recently, this time it was not at the dealer. However, I can't get the "Oil Maintenance Required" light to shut off. Does anyone know how i can make this happen? I have gone into the maintenance section on the screen and reset the dates but that didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated .. Thanks

BFE means, "Bum F**k Egypt" Parking at the airport and I never leave my IS there. I let the wife use her Altima or the blazer we have. The 350 stays in the garage for the most part.

You need to hold the button for a few seconds. I have done that, however, the minute the car feels the tires spin--the traction turns back on. It's actually very dangerous. You are pulling out in the street and then the car almost just shuts down, nothing. I was caught in that position the other day, almost got T-boned by another car coming from the left.

Does anyone out here know how I can turn off the traction control? After pressing the button to turn it off, the first hint of traction loss, it turns back on. I need to get the tires spinning to move in the snow. Any help would be great. Thanks

Are TSP's free of charge, or is there some charge with them?

My 2006 IS350 is about 1500 from the 20K service. I wanted some opinions on people who have had this service accomplished. What does it entail? Also, I had a 2001 IS300 a few years ago, and Lexus was awesome with the service, everything was covered, including the service. When did this change? I hear testimonials of overpriced and horrible service. Has the customer become that irrelevant to Lexus? Thanks for any information you can provide.

I live in Utah and have snow tires, and about 100 or so lbs. in the trunk of my car. I dropped from the 18's down to 17's for the snow. Buying an extra set of rims and tires for the winter is the best thing to do. My IS350 does just fine with the Hankooks on them. A lot of people think the Hankooks are not that good of a tire, but I have not had any issues with them in the snow, or sleet. Of course there is nothing you can do when its icy. Dont get rid of the car, not worth it.

I had the same issue this week. The indicator read 0 and I was only able to add 15 gallons. I thought the tank was 17.1 ?
