hellow fellow rxers,

i know these questions have come up before, but i still haven't found a total resolution so i'm reviving the threads once again - any help would be extremely appreciated

1. for those w/ xm - is your volume annoyingly low? there seems to be quite a discrepancy between the terristial,cd volumes and the xm. when i'm blasting the xm and switch to regular radio, i get quite the rude awakening. any ideas?

2. the rear view dimmer - its quite bothersome to have to shut off the auto glare each and every time i back out of my garage. the garage is quite dark, coupled w/ the auto glare component of the rear view mirror - i can't seem to see anything. i heard of people putting tape over the sensors?

3. anyone get the venture shield or 3m clear bra on their baby?

4. although i have xm radio, i heard that if you had the ipod connection you can also watch videos on the navigation? is this true? any tips on just an ipod connector w/ the already existing xm radio?

i know these have been discussed, but i was hoping to get a new or updated answer to these questions

thanks again for all your help, i've learned quite a lot on this board! thanks!

Hi all,

Just got my Rx 350 - love it! I wanted to get a general consensus about the clearbra from venture shield or the bug deflector. I heard the clearbra is preferred over the 3m style. And the bugdefletor is basically . . .useless and ugly. Unfortunately, not even a week in, I got my first tiny windshield chip from a rock. (the first one hurts so bad!!!!). It's just a tiny chip, so I'm just going to grin and bear it. But it lead me to think . . and from the posts on the boards . . .the lexus baby is on the fragile side. Anyone have any experiences w/ the clearbra and bug deflector? Needed? Overkill? Helps? just a waste of money?

if anyone knows of a competent distributor of the bra here in Northern NJ, I would appreciate it.

Thanks all and happy driving.

HI all,

I just got my Rx 350 - love it! The only minor thing . . .but it gets annoying . . . is the automatic dimming of the rearview mirror. I don't want to have to shut it off each time I start up the car. I park my car in a public garage and it's quite difficult to see what's behind me in the dark garage. I know it's a simple matter of shutting off the anti-glare mechanism but it gets annoying to do that everytime I start the car. Any ideas? Thanks!
