Another HS at work!
Someone at work showed up this week with an HS250, dark gray, and parks a few cars down from me. Dunno if they are new in my building or just bought it (it looks brand new - Premium w/tech package). What are the odds that two HS owners work in the same building, given there are only what, 12,000 or so total sold in the US? Makes me want to park next to him and weird out the other employees

I actually met one coming the other way and waved. The other guy didn't see me I guess, or he ignored me. AND............. I actually saw a new CT in the other lot yesterday. No ESh spied as of yet. But in the last month, I did see 1 Volt and 1 Leaf and also 1 Prius C.

Well there are over 100 in my area for sale. I did find a pretty good deal on one, it's a lo-mile 10 Premium, with Tech, Nav, ML, and LED light package. So far I'm very happy with it! I probably could have gotten a lot better deal if I did'nt want the Tech, ML, and LED, there are a ton of those.
BTW, I saw a third one last night, a black on black.

If anyone is looking for one, I just found another fully loaded with LED and Mark Levinson.

Yea, I'm in So-Cal. Currently there are over 100 of them for sale, there are a few dealers that have 5-6 to choose from. I think lots of them will keep showing up as people are starting to return their leases. I wonder how many of the 10K sold in 2010 are around here?

I saw another HS at work the other day and I was so happy, I gave the person a copy of the HS factory workshop manual I have on DVD just because they seemed like nice people.

See it next to the lower left of the Hazard button? Now I know it's most likely not a standalone plug, but the wires may be there in the harness....

Dave, I noticed looking through some pictures of a non nav HS, and it has a physical AC button! Now of course I cant ask anything that would violate forum rules, however would you be kind enough to see if the connector to the climate control is the same, if the wireing is already there it should not be too hard to add a ac button, elminating the need to navigate to the climate screen to toggle the ac button. I'm hoping it's a simple 3 wires, 1 ground, 1 12v control, and 1 ilumation???

But I think you can go into the settings and make the A/C automatic and you wouldn't have to go into that screen anymore. Most likely someone set yours to manual, like I did to mine.
I'll check though, but I guess its all controlled through a computer somewhere as the button on the NAV screen is not a physical button and the Non-NAV is.

I thought about the same thing. I don't like having to go to that screen to turn the A/C on and off either. But you're taxing my memory now because I can't remember all the specifics right now.

I'm guessing the nav screen is sending a constant 12V or switched signal to activate the AC. Although I could be completely wrong and it's a signal on a shared communication line which would make things much harder!
But like the radio, we can change the input from one of the physical buttons, steering wheel mode button, or the nav screen, so it's got to be possible, just need to see how hard it is.
