  1. The passive entry system uses a lot of power when active. So a poorly designed system will allow the battery to be depleted. However as I mention, most system now can disable themselves to concerve power and therefore not affect the vehicle battery.

    The original post from skins08IS350 did not mention any battery trouble as all of the other electronics seems to work fine.

    Not sure how this will effect it, but since it was the first day I bought the car, the extra key fob was in the car, and the other one was with me in my friends house.

    So are you saying the car will not start unless I unlock/lock with the keyfob? I am not following why it matters where the keyfob is for an extended amount of time.

    BTW, I have not had any issues since then.

  2. I just got my IS350 and have tried searching this forum, so my apologizes if these have been answered.

    1) There seems to be an entry in my *speed dial* that is locked and/or can not be deleted. I can however delete any of my other speed dial entries. Has anyone run into this, and tell me how to delete it?

    2) Is caller ID not available on incoming calls on the LCD screen? Even numbers that are imported into my phone book do not show up during incoming calls, neither as their names nor numbers. Is there a way to get at least the phone numbers working for incoming calls?

  3. I just bought a brand new IS350 today. I drove it around for a good part of the day, parked it at a friends house for a couple of hours, and when I came back, the car did not start. I had the key inside the car and my foot on the break. The orange/yellow "check" light came on, on the left side of the dash and the red battery sign came on also. The rest of the lights/navigation/radio worked as well, the engine just would not crank.

    After about 20 minutes, the car started. Has anyone experienced this or have some sort of explanation on why this could be? It is a bit concerning considering this is the first day of ownership.
