Default Questions about 2017 is350 packages

Hey everyone. I'm new to clubLexus & lexus's in general. After months of research I've settled on getting a 2017 is350f. Unfortunately I'm a person who likes ALL the options. I love gimmicks and bells and whistles.

Anyways, I was going through the 2017 brochure and a few other threads and websites but haven't been able to get a real answer.

So ideally I'd like to get the is350f with all the options. But I've learned that some options don't transfer to the F sport. But there are some that the brochure says isn't an option for the F sport but I've seen it.

For example I've seen F sports with the Navigation package and Mark Levinson audio. So I'm not sure if it's just the brochure not making all the details clear about what you can and can't have on the F sport.

I'd like to know if I can also have:
  • Power tilt-and-telescopic steering colum
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Blind spot monitoring
  • Electrochromic (auto-dimming ) heated outside mirrors with auto tilt-down in reverse
  • Lexus Memory System for driver’s seat, outside mirrors and steering column
  • Intuitive Parking Assist
  • Voice command
  • Remote touch (not sure what it is)
I'm sure I'm asking something silly and the answer is probably no to all, but worth a shot.

Thanks again, hope to be a lex owner soon

If I'm not mistaken, the 2017 or 2018 was the first year Lexus made the "comfort package" (memory seats, heated outside mirrors, rain sensing) available to the F Sports. Everything else you can definitely have on an F Sport. Mark Levinson with GPS is definitely a thing on F Sports with no issues since a while back.

Rain-sensing wipers were available on the 2016 F-Sport.

I suspect the packages were and are different in Canada no?

Typically they bundle stuff more here so you can't get as many things individually. The 2016 was the first and only one I test-drove so I don't know what all else it had on it, but it did have nav and seemed pretty loaded although it was a 300.

OP - I have a 2017 IS350 F Sport (Series 3 in Canada) and that is the fully loaded version available up here. Now I know things may vary in the US but that is what I can tell you about mine:

Power tilt and telescopic - Not Available in the F sport
Rain Sensing wipers - Yes
Blind Spot monitoring - Yes (as with active cruise and radar)
Auto dimming mirrors - Yes
Memory seats - No
Intuitive parking - Not sure what that is so I would say no but hopefully you know how to park
Voice command - Yes
Remote touch - Not sure what that is? Could it be the mouse/cursor?

The other thing available on mine is the power rear shade, Mark Levinson and such

Hope this helps

You have a 2017 (series 3) and it didn't come with memory seats or power tilt/telescoping steering wheel? I have a 2018 (series 2) and it came with both of those...I guess it was only added in 2018?

I couldn't get that option on both my 17 and 18 model year, according to my dealer I'm in NY

Remote Touch is indeed the navigation controller/mouse.

I have a 2017 IS350 F Sport in the US.

Power tilt and telescopic - Not Available in the F sport, only on Executive/Luxury package.
Rain Sensing wipers - No -- i think not available on F sport in 2017.
Blind Spot monitoring - Yes with active cruise
Auto dimming mirrors - No -- i think not available on F sport in 2017.
Memory seats - No -- Only on Executive/Luxury package
Intuitive parking - Do you mean Parking Sense? It tells you on the display screen (and beeps) if there is any movement behind you and where it's coming from.
Voice command - Yes
Remote touch - No, 2017 came with the joystick (which is terrible, btw)

You're in the US though. Different options.

Nope, I don't - You have the F Sport too right?! I know the non-F sport had these goodies available.

I have the auto-dimming rear view mirror on my 2016 IS 300 F Sport. The exterior mirrors are heated but not auto-dimming, as far as I can tell.

Isn't the power-tilt steering column available on 350 F Sport if you get the variable-gear-ratio steering?
