what gas will make the lexus is 250 perform the fastest, best, etc?

Shell, BP, Exxon, Chevron?

my bad

ok guys i want a radar detector that will never fail me if theres a police...bottom line. i cant afford a ticket and although i dont speed there are times when it may be called for.

also, im willing to put up the cash...but nothing WAY TOO expensive. please give me all your suggestions. also, i'd like something where i dont have to run a chord all the way down to the cigarette lighter cause that just looks lame

thanks guys!

So the NAV hack, in its many forms, will allow you to enter street address etc... while the car is in motion. Also you can use the complete phone book or dial a phone number, again while the vehicle is in motion. It is kind of unsafe as it is a distraction so be safe if you do something like this.

Regarding the blank buttons - I would not be afraid to drill holes in the blanks in order to mount something or to run cables etc... You can always buy new ones if you want to go back to stock.

You can't remove the blanks from the front without putting a lot of stress on the front bezel which could lead to damage. The black side cover that meets up with the drivers door can be removed easily. Then you can get a good side view of the blanks and work from there.

Good luck.

P.S. In my case, I filed a small hole in the bottom of one of the blanks so that I could route the wires for the NAV Override controller. The kit came with double sided sticky tape so I used that to mount the switch assembly. I cleaned both contact surfaces with rubbing alcohol before putting it together. If it doesn't hold through this summer's heat then I may use screw or somthing. Here are some pictures. The button style is different then factory but it doesn't draw attention to itself unless the LEDs are on. I was thinking of buying some of the original switches like the shade and headlight washer to put there and then wire the aftermarket switches into the stock ones but I just don't have the time and the garage is still to cold.

What do you think about how this switch looks? Opinions?

Dude holy crap that looks absolutely sick! im thinking of putting an ipod dock there and my ipod but ive been havin some trouble finding a dock for my first generation nano.

oh and PLEASE if you get a chance check out my radar detector thread.

thanks!

i have nav, blue tooth, heated/ventilated seats AFS, etc. i dont have the ML, rear sunshade, automatic steering wheel, auto rain sensing wipers, etc

i had a great idea last night what i was gonna do is get an ipod dock and mount it in the that spot on the two blanks beside my steering wheel and put my ipod nano there. im not sure how im gonna hook up the auxillary cord but i was thinking of getting a long one and bringing it under the seat under the all weather floor mats and hooking it up. any ideas on sticking the dock on the buttons? i was thinking rubber cement...since that shouldn't damage anything.

any tips? ideas? suggestions?

thanks guys

p.s. if i do it today or tomorrow i'll try to post some pics :-)

dude i have them and i love it...no more worries over muddy shoes and they look GREAT with lexus logo. the styling is great too w/ the dimpled front and wavy bottom. anyway, im shocked u'd get a hole in it...i mean its pretty thick man........

I just installed a NAV override switch set into one of the blank buttons. I have the rear shade but no coin holder so I have one space remaining for some TBD option. I am sure that I will thing of something. Maybe the coin holder?

dude thats pretty sweet i appreciate the answers and all but i dont have the mark levinson dvd...can i still install a nav override for other features? also i have no idea how'd i'd go about installing it...any tips? oh and ya def. get a coin holder and put those sachagawea (sp?) gold 1 dollar coins if your from the US it looks pretty sweet

i want to be able to view pictures on the nav screen. how can i do this....maybe through ipod integration?

i know u have to put it in S mode and shift up and down but at what rpm do i switch gears?

for example like at 2000 rpm switch to 2nd gear, etc etc

i have two blank buttons beside the coin holder and i hate it!

any ideas on what i can do.

its meant for the front headlight washers and rear sunshade both which i do not have

rear sunshade, illuminated scuff plates, auto steering wheel, headlight cleaner, mark levinson, memory seats?

they said that they dont make it too often with those features

i got the nav, air conditioned seats, afs, xenon, but not all those other gadgets listed above

hey guys I was wondering if anybody could give me tips on where i can could get a rear sunshade (preferably automatic) for my 2008 is250
