Lightbulb 2008 Special Order IS350 Sport Pkg with ML, Nav, PA - picked up!!

Quick additional differences I just personally confirmed:

1) Confirmed, I like the coin holder

2) New Re-designed Engine cover clips

3) Confirmed Nav "I agree" selection is history (now a 5 sec Caution Screen)

4) Confirmed New Map DVD Data: ver .07.1

5) Confirmed New Leather casing to hold Owners Manuals. Pouch style with expandable/strecthy material on sides.

6) Confirmed NO Illuminated White Scuff Plates in the Sport Pkg (just aluminum)

7) Confirmed IS350 has the standard Liquid Graphite Finish Wheel (although not listed on the sticker or website)

8) Un-Confirmed: "Backlighting added to outside mirror control" - If they are talking about the actually switches, they don't light up in a Full dark cockpit. So I'll keep looking for a definition to this...

Pics will follow soon!!!

You LIKE the coinholder?

What is it about it in person that's better than the "ripped out of a corolla" look the pics imply? I'd -love- to hear it's better than it looks...

so if you update your old DVD version to the new one the "I agree" will go after 5 seconds?

^^ Exactly, its NOT as obtrusive as it looks in the photos... and I'm sure that I am going to keep it there...

Good question...? We will have to test it out to see if its part of the Nav Brain or Nav Software...
