Dealer programmed our seats to our key fobs. Worked before final pick up but now it doesn't. I suspect that power was pulled at some point and it has to be reprogrammed but haven't cracked open the manual yet to do it. I do remember seeing the instructions while flipping through though... To set it to position # don't you just adjust it, press and hold the position (1,2,etc)?

Great post! This is going to work much better than me guessing and having the NAV do odd things as a result :)

It has the latest firmware but that is a good idea. I will check around and see if there is a registry entry to boost the BT power. Of course, that will probably kill my battery life :) Perhaps a new phone is in order. I am off contract so I can probably get a deal. Is the Bluetooth in the car 2.0? thanks!

I noticed the same thing about my rear passenger window also. I rolled it up/down from the seat and now it works perfectly. Why does the window need to be "reset"?

It is a Palm Treo 700wx. After working with it for a couple of days I have found that it has to be really close to the NAV console (like in the cup holder). If I put it close when I get it it links without any problem and sounds great (better than with my bluetooth headsets actually!). But it I leave it in my pocket or pouch the connection is intermittent. Definitely the phone though. My wife's LG Envy connects immediately regardless where it is.

Ok, after a couple of delays..had a few things installed and a problem with the rear seat (which the dealer took care of immediately) I have the car!! YAY! I have become a pretty experienced with Lexus cars now though as I spent the last 4 days in a loaner RX350 and ES350 :) Hope to put some miles on the IS this weekend though! That NAV VSS is ANNOYING!! My phone's bluetooth is inconsistent and I have to manually resync/register the phone. Can't do it while driving. GRRR...

You mean that pouch that contains 10 manuals and reads like a Microsoft Certification book? :)

My dealer told me that they were going to offer remote start "soon." Don't know exactly when that is or if it is a Lexus kit. Will ask for clarification when I (finally) get to pick up my car tonight.

This is what I was told too...

They are right, the power really depends on what you are used to and looking for. My wife and I drove an IS250 and she really liked it. But, for me, since I was trading in my Mustang GT really wanted something a little peppier. We got the 350 because she knew I would try and keep my Mustang otherwise :)

At least I got the window sticker... Looks like luxury package (18" RWD), NAV/Mark Levinson Audio. Ouch!...didn't realize that was such an expensive option! Definitely excited!!! Will be sure to snap some pics. I think tomorrow is the Asian New Year, so it is an Asian New Year Car :P P.S. SHINY!! :)

Hi and thanks for the welcome! I got silver, err...I think they called it tungsten pearl with the light silver interior. I was going to get an 06 CPO but the dealer made me a good deal (I think anyway) on a new 08. Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. I have an RX350 as a loaner, but it is not quite the same thing :)

Just wanted to say hello to everybody. I am new 08 owner as of today! I am also new here, although been lurking a while. I am impressed with your guys knowledge on these cars. I pick up my new Lexus on Monday. It is getting a few options put on it. It is getting LoJack and 3M Chiprotect. I just traded in my Mustang GT for it and I went through a lot of headlights and foglights. Seemed like a good ideas to have. Any comments on these two options? Thanks!

Sounds like a good deal. Just curious, did you buy it from a dealer or private party? thanks
