Smile Hi, my name is Brandon and I'm an alc...err, I mean IS owner.

Hey guys, new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. Love the intro for newbs, actually helped me out with a couple things although I still can't figure out the damn homelink buttons...but that's another story.

Anyhow, I just picked up a Tungsten Pearl 2006 IS350 fairly loaded including Nav, etc. with 39,xxx. Love it so far, already had the campaigns taken care of and she's doing great. I'll try to get some pics up soon but she's stock for now.

I'm really happy with the comfort/power ratio so far as well. Plus of course, the Lexus security. I've been through quite a few cars lately ( 2 s2ks, e46 M3, G35 coupe), but I can definitely appreciate this one. Alright, just saying hello. -b

the homelink buttons are easier than you think it is. it's actually in the manual but here: hold onto one of the homelink buttons under your rearview mirror till you see the red light fllash, then take your garage remote and press it (while still holding the homelink button under your rearview mirror) it should flash faster, until it completely stops flashing at all. that's it!!

Looks very nice & clean. Not that you need any, but do you have any mod plans?
