i dont see who would want to smoke in their IS. I would never do that, especially when you have black interior.

I bought a coin holder from super walmart. circle in shape and the bottom portion can open up to put coins or whatever in it. If you take the top half off you can put it in your cup holder and close the lid at the same time. Or you can just throw it in the arm rest.

you can see the ash alot more on the black interior, my dad use to have a lincoln ls with black interior and he smoked in it and it looked horrible untill i had to clean it, it would look brand new.

I just use those coin roll things from the bank.

They seem to keep the coins neatly in line.

maybe lexus figured if you're rich enough to afford the IS, you don't carry/need small change LOL
but yeah, i also wish they had some factory built-in coin holder but i keep my few quarters in the armrest compartment and it don't make noise. or you could keep some small non-plastic container/purse/velvet bag with the change and leave it there or in the glove compartment or something. non-plastic so it doesn't rattle around and make noise.

Maybe so but if I'm at a drivethrough, I always look for change/get change back, but maybe that's just me because at the grocery store the other day I handed the clerk a $20 bill and she just gazed for a bit, and said "opps sorry, haha, no one pays with cash anymore" and she was probably right
Change is also good because I'd be embarrased to pay with a credit card/debit card at a non-franchised convienence store(the ones with fees and the ones that hassle you sometimes) for anything that I'd buy less than $2, so change is good in that situation too. I find the coin holders are pretty must a much, except for in a maybe in a lambo

lexus/toyota has got to have a small coin holder that would fit in one of the popout spots to the left of the steering column. I need to go to the showrooms and take a look to see if they have one that may fit...

Probably just a blown fuse, I would get it replaced asap as sometimes the blown fuse may also be connected to something else. In a previous car, I blew a cigerrette lighter fuse and later found out that my horn wouldn't work anymore! Once I repalced it, everything powered up.
