Default New is350 owner few questions

Hi all.

I have owned a is300 (manual) for the last 9 years. I just decided that i wanted a new car and i bought a used is350. i plan to get the platinum warranty and drive it for quite a while. i looked for a around 6 weeks and finally found one that fit my needs. i got it lat week and really like it but have a few questions.
  • can someone help me determine original sticker (options and cost)? (see below)
  • i found a way to shut off the seat belt warning, is there a way to shut off the open sun roof warning when you get out of the car?
  • is there any reason to update the nav disc?
  • what is the best way to launch the car? i figured out how to disable t/c but when its fully off and i hit the gas i spin the back wheels pretty good. im not sure if thats the best way to get off the line

thats it for now with the questions.

here are some photos:









for the options/pricing it has all this stuff:
  • Nav
  • xenon
  • parking sensors
  • head lamp washers
  • are the wheels on it an option for 09?
  • does not have the luxury package
so it seems like it wars ordered with pick and choose options. like they got everything i actually cared about but did not get the few things added in the lux package. not even sure if it has more options as i dont really know what was an option in 09

i got it with 27k miles if anyone cares. and considering ive owned my is300 since new, i know from experience that in lexus this is basically a like new car.

Not really, they need to be probably smaller like in the 1024 pixel range like web usage.

File size and bandwdith is the other consideration (ie. mobile cell users).
