I am the proud new owner of a used 2009 Lexus GX470. It's nautical blue on the outside with a gray interior. Only 18,600 miles on it when I picked it up on March 1. Two questions:
1) Is there a standard set of recommended upgrades to 2009 GX470s? I've seen a couple of LED threads, I think I'll be doing the LED upgrade.
2) Is it possible to both steam music from my iPhone 4GS, as well as use it to answer calls in hands free mode? When my son and I initially registered my iPhone 4GS with the GX470, it seemed like we could only use the iPhone to either stream music or to answer phone calls hands free.

hey brother, nice color and good find. What part of VA you located? I got a 09 this year as well in Black with 28k on it. First 3 things I put on it were vent visors, chrome tip exhaust and the wrap around hood protector. Have not done and LED's yet, but did use techstream to cut off the DRL's and program a key. I don't know the answer to your iphone question.

Techstream is what Toyota tech's use to interface with the truck, it's their handheld scanner. I believe you can get a cable and software package so you can use a laptop to accomplish the same things at home.

Damn, that is the exact one I was interested in!! It is the color I wanted and the mileage that I wanted. For market pricing purposes, do you mind me asking what the final price was, without taxes, etc.?
Enjoy the new ride!!

As of now located in Va Beach area. Originally from West Springfield/Burke area.
VA beach: Come on vacation, leave on probation, return on violation.
I was stationed at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Now THAT was a hole! Used to go to VA Beach to escape.
