Since that time, I have dashcams in all my cars. Right now, I'm running a BlackVue 4k UHD - very discreet and hides behind the rear view mirror. I only had to use it once - when a deer ran out in front of my car (minor damage), but I had proof it wasn't my driving mistake.

Last week it told me that nothing was found for all 2024 IS', but this week it shows a Emergency Response Guide assigned to the 2024 IS300, IS350, and IS500. I suspect we are a couple of weeks away before I'll be able to grab the owner's manuals for the car, but this is a sign that the good old 2UR lives on for at least one more year. I'll update this thread once I eventually get the owner's manuals or any additional info.
