OFFICIAL: New for 2007 GX Updates

I assume you mean the whole vehicle... on my BMW, the headlights themselves (the bulbs and their holders) adjust automatically as I drive to keep the headlight cutoff from rising up too much and blinding people... each time you start the car, they do a little self check, its interesting to see them move up and down and align themselves... One time the sensor got disconnected, so they automatically went to their lowest setting... plugged them back in and good to go...
Headlight wipers are handy if you are in heavy snow... help to keep ice and crud build-up off the headlights... important if you live in a country with lots of snow (a 'la Sweden... explains why so many Volvos and Saabs have them)... Headlight washers are enough for me... not THAT much snow in my neck of the woods...

All Lexus models with HID have a leveling self check and adjust in height depending on the level of the car as far as accelleration, braking or load level. It's an active system that works while the car is in motion. For those models with AFS, the lights will turn either left or right as long as you are going above 20 mph at either 5 degrees to the right or 15 degrees going left.

There is now a button for AM/SAT. But it will be for the XM radio option. I'm kind of glad I have an 06 GX with Sirius satellite radio since I bet with the new generation 5 navigation system on the 07 GX, the 05-06 Sirius satellite kit will not work. So if you wanted satellite radio, and wanted a factory approved kit from Lexus, you would have to get the XM.
I hope Lexus gets this straightened out in the future otherwise my next vehicle will not be a Lexus. I only want Sirius satellite radio.

07 CD Changer - pics!
The other day I was in the Lexus lot and saw a new 07 GX470 - I couldn't get in and couldn't figure out where the CD changer slot was from the outside.
Tonight I went to the LS460 coming out party at Lawrence Lexus (great party!), and they had a new 07GX470 on display in the service area in back. It looks like the CD changer is still in the glove box, but it is now a slot model:

And here's the audio plug
The audio plug was pretty much just stuck in a spot in the front, and the rest of the dash with the nav system looked just like my 06. We couldn't turn it on, so we couldn't check out the gen 5 nav and backup camera, but the dash controls seemed about the same. We have the gen 5 on our 07RX and it is nice, but there is nothing on it that I am kicking myself for not having in the GX.
All in all, the 06 to 07 changes had to be the least intrusive to any kind of tooling, molds or setup programs that I have ever seen. Both hubby and I agreed that we are not sorry we didn't wait for the 07 model.
