Hey guys! I am new here and looking for some information. I did a search and didn't find much. I am looking for a navigation system for my IS and found one called FlyAudio. Does anyone have one in their IS? I'd love some feedback. Here is a link I found on YouTube: Click here!
Thanks in advance!
John
I have it. The unit is nice and very well made. It looks very OEm, except for a slight difference in brightness between the CD changer lights and the nav buttons. The functionality it offers is impressive. There are some glitches though:
Canadian owners read temp in farenheit but the number is incorrect
The climate control always defaults to outside air when turned on, instead of recirc or auto
The default nav program is so so, but I loaded igo8 on it and it's much better
The SUB mp3 player can't resume form the middle of a song
Ipod only allows artist and album browsing, not playlist
I've had mine for three weeks and it's been trouble free. My backup camera stopped working this week end, but I suspect I have a loose connection.

Yea I have been looking for the same thing on ebay but it was about 3g's for the cheapest but all I want is the mounting ring to relocate all the buttons and I was going to put a after market Alpine in mine , its a pretty easy job.
There is a better option now:
-
Drive in winter mode!

There is recall. The letter is just to tell you to wait for the next letter for the recall, but in the meantime throw out your mats so you can't blame lexus if you crash.
-
There are minor changes from 2006, to 07-08. Notably, the traction control/VSC is much easier to deactivate.
-
You can tell in winter. Try going uphill on a snow covered road. If the Traction control is enabled the rear wheels will not spin, and the car will barely move. If disable the TC, your rear wheels will spin, but then suddenly the front will lurch forward and start moving.
Be careful though, it is a heavily rear biased RWD system, you can fishtail the back easily if you give too much throttle in a sharp turn.

The 17", yes. The 16", no.

Having worked in manufacturing for a long time I remember that we considered masking tape to be a temporary repair, while duck tape was a permanent repair.
There will be no fowl parts on my carpet, sir!

What worries is me is that this is an attempt by Toyota to make it look like they are doing something, and deflecting attention away from the California incident, that may signal a much more troublesome underlying problem.

It probably modulates how sensitive the accelerator is to pressure.

They thought doing it this way saves them buck a car!!!!!
Cheaaaap!!!!!!!!
Step in to a base 328xi, and you'll see what cheap is.

It was my understanding that the fluid can not be fully flushed by pump in the IS250/350. It requires a full dismantling of the unit.

When the Badger was in the office trying to "sell" me, I just waved my hand like a wand with my cell phone, hit "redial" and called Lexus of Tampa right in front of him. I told him he had until the time I got a price from them to write up the deal.
You sir, deserve a pair of these:
-
Yeah, I think to many sub forums get lost. If anything we will add the C to the forum title.
So post some pics of that bad boy!
Agreed ^
WHy did the IS-F get their own sub-forum? It's still a 2nd gen chassis. Or they too good for the rest of us common folk? :D
-
That's a possibility. Remember that Lexus TPMS sensors are very specific. Not just any TPMS will be compatible. I believe Pacific makes them. f you bit your TPMS from tirerack, the invoice willshow the codes.
-
Irontoad's prices look real good. Anyone know if they ship to canada? Or an equivalent outlet here?
Allow me to answer my own question: NO.
-
Do you have a set of TPMS in the new rims?
-
Are you using a new set of TPMS or the old ones?
Do see a red triangle with exclamation mark on the dash?
If so, you need to take the car to the dealer and have them program the new TPMS set to be recognized. I hope you kept the ID codes!

Your tires rotate enough when you drive, leave them be :P

What can you spell with two Ls, a V and an O?

What's the air conditioner filter listed in the service schedule? Is it the one in the glove box?
-
It's no wagon. The back seat sucks and the trunk has a ridiculously small opening.

New Tires & Alignment… Ride & Handling Improved.
My initial driving impression was that the Lexus was “twitchy”. It just didn’t want to track. Upon inspection, the previous owner was running 28psi front and rear. I changed that to 36 psi front and 32 psi rear and about half the twitchiness disappeared. <_<
Shouldn't it be 35/38?
Flyaudio In Dash Navi? Anyone Have One?

From a user on clublexus forums. The harness is plug and play, but you still need to route the bluetooth mic and GPS antenna. <The whole center console needs to come out to do the install. The only cutting and splicing of wires is to install the optional backup camera.
I got it from the Automax Rep on clublexus/my.is. Just PM him.
