Swedish Lexus buyers don't care about the sunroof. I had a 09 2IS Sport with sunroof, which was quite unique. The dealer (biggest Lexus dealer in Sweden) said my car is the only one they sold with a sunroof and "X wheel" as winter wheels.

I also notice it seems to be the case for Lexus vehicles in Japan. Sunroof is always an individual option to be added on.

You must have a non-nav version? Non ML w/nav have a MicroSD card slot cover in the center like this:

Same with me. Do you have navigation? I don't have it and that could be it.



Same issue with Canada. I think it's a Nav feature. With our loaded RX F-Sport, I believe that works. I'll have to check it out later.

Another interesting discovery...

So I set my tire pressure to my usual 33 PSI since the dealer always over-inflates to 37-38. I then checked the recommend pressure out of curiosity and I expected to see around 32-33. Nope. 36! Highest I've seen with any car I've owned.

Yes. Navi and ML package in my car.
Guess I'll have to read the manual for navi back to back

It's was the same on the 2IS. Some of the US voice commands never worked on my last fully loaded 250. It seems like we have different voice command software.

On my last three cars (Ford Focus ST170, Ford Kuga, Lexus IS 300h) the tire pressure has always been 40 PSI on the summer tires. I asked about it, and the answer was that the modern low profile tires are so good that they can be filled almost to the maximum and still retain their shape. You will not get uneven wear. Two different tire dealers and the Lexus dealer agrees

I read the manual back to back today.
Does not say a word about climate control and voice comand to the climate.
Voice comand works with music, navigation and phone.

This was a similar case for 2006 IS with navigation in Canada. Back then, IS equipped with Navi sold in US can use voice command to control the climate but it didn't work with the Canadian software. I find this is one area where Lexus has been lacking. The software offering varies from country to country. I understand some services (say, HD Radio) are specific to countries. But climate control is just a oversight, IMO.

Actually the required pressure for 2IS is similar. For my 06' IS350 with 18" and 17" rims , the front takes 35 PSI and the back takes 37 PSI.

Interesting they make the pressure the same for the front and back this time, despite the staggered wheel setup.

I find it annoying at night that the arm rest console does not have a light in it when you open it up. Hard to find stuff at night when you open it up.....So i put an led light in there problem solvedd

Hardwired? Can you show a pic? Thanks!

Ah, good to know. I didn't pay attention when I owned my 2IS so I therefore had them underinflated at around 34psi the whole time.

Will post one up tomorrow for ya
