![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I have a few questions to all CL Heads in regards to the GS. Having only driven a GS a handful of times, I never paid attention to some of these things in detail. Many of these questions are asked because they are not listed on Lexus' site or in their glossy brochures (some for obvious reasons) Well here they are................
1) Not that I'm a smoker or would allow any fools to smoke in my whip, but is there a rear cigar lighter? I just like knowing it's there.
2) Would an avg size Mobile DVD player fit in the glove compartment?
3) Are the front or rear headrests power?
4) Is there any way to remote your windows/Sunroof up using a dealers C-Best settings?
5 )If I were to add a remote start, would the auto HID's come on at startup? I envision walking in a parking lot with my girl and the HID's Rolling up then down as we approach it. As you can see I love to floss!!
6) Does the GS Nav have diff voices i.e. male/female? My Range had an annoying British accent that I grew to love.
7) And finally for now, Must all GS430s come with factory installed spoilers. If so will there be drill holes in the decklid? Maybe when I get one it may grow on me but I doubt it.
Thanx in advance guys!!!!

1) no.
2) maybe.
3) no.
4) Down, yes, Up, don't think so.
5) Leave the lights on auto and yeah they should just kick on with the car at night.
6) don't have navi, but i'm thinking no.
7) Probably they all come with spoilers since a 430 is usually pretty well equipped, just swap deck lids with a 300 of the same color if you don't want it.
(i have a 99 400 so this is from a 400 POV, i dont think they changed that much to the 430)

Thanx to those who replied. Come on CL 100 looks and 3 replies. Come on y'all, I know you guys have some insight on this. Does The Nav have voice options? Can the C-Best settings be changed for remote window up? Anybody installed DVD in their glove compartment? I appreciate all responses (flaming included).

There are several people who have installed DVD players in the glove box. I don't believe you can swith the gender on the navigation system and the windows will go down if you hold the unlock button, but to make them raise up, you'll have to use the key. I think you can have that adjusted by the dealership as well as the locking of one or more of your doors with remote and when you put the car into drive. If you want the headlights to dance when you start your car with a remote start installed, then leave your headlights on auto, like mentioned above, and make sure you're in an area where it is dark.

I don't think you can get the windows to roll up w/ the remote on the key. You actually have to stick the key in the door lock.
Here's an old thread of C-best settings that you might find helpful.
