Interesting Little Details Discoveries Thread (Good or Bad)

When I drive with the windows down, air blows into the cabin from the air vents with my climate control off. I previously had a 2004 Honda Accord where this would happen as well but I was able to adjust the temperature of this air by setting my climate control to the coolest setting to get cooler air (even though it was off). With the 3IS, the temperature is always hot so the only way to stop it is to press the button to circulate air flow internally only.
Hope that helps!

Back Up Camera
Anyone noticed the quality of the camera different. I had several 2nd gen cars and the camera was awesome. Now it looks so washed out on my screen.I have a 2014, My girl just got a 2015 and her camera looks great. Wondering if its just me.

Not sure if this is posted but a bit angry. Because of all the IPOD error issues (I have IS350 Fsport (2015)), I went and got a 128g usb, which is working perfectly except for 1 big problem. I have all the mp3 tags correctly labeled showing the track number etc. But when you play a folder, it never plays in the correct order. It starts with track 1, then track 10, then 2, then 20 etc.. It's ignoring the track number altogether and trying to do it by name. For example I have it like this: Is there any fix? Really frustrated with the lack of audio fixes with many problems that ruin the travel with music.

Several people have remarked about the LED lighting inside the door handles and yes those are cool but even cooler are the two LED's in the wrist rest that frame the remote touch controller ("mouse") perfectly between two small beams of light.

Anyone know if the backup camera will start beeping once you get too close to another car or structure? I kind of miss that in my old Audi and not sure if it's on the 2015 Lexus IS 350 w/Navigation package. It hasn't yet beeped and I don't know if that's because I haven't come close enough yet or it just doesn't beep at all.

The cross-traffic alert will beep if something moving approaches you while you're in Reverse, but I haven't heard a beep from the rear view camera. So, for example, if you back up to a stationary object and get too close, I don't think it beeps.
To be honest, I've never gotten close enough to something to test the theory, but I've never heard a beep from just backing up to another object.

Backup camera does not have object detection feature unlike some other car like Infiniti Q50, it's a separate feature from parking assist. It will beep for cross traffic alert and sometime mine beeps when a pedestrian crosses by.

I was surprised to see that this car doesn't have any LED lights in the ceiling to provide a nice glow to the interior at night.
I was also surprised to learn that I can't adjust the gauge cluster brightness independently of the center stack buttons. I'd like to have my center stack buttons nice and bright/crisp, but then my gauge cluster gets too bright - especially when it's in sport mode. That white ring is blinding and distracting when on a dark mode. This car is so customizable that I'm surprised they linked these two brightness settings together.

Yes, it beeps because of BSM if you car doesn't have parking sensors. Mine beeps for pedestrians but not consistently so I don't depend on BSM to detect pedestrians. It's designed for detecting vehicles cross traffic only. Some cars do have object detection in backup camera, it will even draw a box around the objects on the monitor.
