Service intervals + ipod question
A few questions:
1. I assume service is not covered/pre-paid like BMW does for 4 years?
2. What are the service intervals for the 2010 RX350? Our 05 requires every 3mo or 3,000 miles, has Lexus bumped this up to a 12mo or 10,000 miles like Audi and BMW do?
3. Does the car come with full ipod integration (controlling the ipod from the radio controls), or is this a separate accessory one must buy?

1. Nope. Usually Lexus provides 1k and 5k for free. Some dealers may add in additional services for customers, for example, 10k, 15k, etc. You should ask for them when negotiating your deal. IMO.
2. After 1k check-up, they're 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, etc. If Lexus increase the size of filter and tank capacity (and other improvement), maybe or maybe not they can bump up to 8K-10K.
3. dunno.

Has anyone figured out how you can use bluetooth and not lose your spot when listening to audio books. I use an iphone and when I turn off the car it always loses the playback position. I have tried pausing through the nav screen, the iphone, and exiting the ipod on my iphone before turning off. All of these methods result in the audiobook starting over.

Strange
Over here three years/60k miles of service are included free.
However, strangely, the service interrval is 15k km (let's round to 10k miles) with no check or anything else before the first 15k, or 12 months.

Actually I don't see how they go that far. Are you talking about the 350 or the 450h or both?

1. It goes back to the song that was playing when I restart. I haven't tried an audiobook yet but would guess it's the same. But you say it isn't ???
2. Like someone else previously posted, when you scroll through albums (several at a time on screen) after 3 for 4 screens it starts up the new album at top of the page. Maybe in time they will find a fix for this and offer a program update.
I suspect there's lots to learn here.

Jim--that sounds like it works like the BMW interface.
will your IPOD play podcasts in the RX--BMW does not. (it would have been cool to play ipod movies on the nav screen)
also, in BMW if you want to go back within a track you have to take the ipod and use thumb wheel to go back.

It will go back to the audio book you were listening to, but the problem I have is when you turn off the RX, it will not save your spot on the iphone. For example if you are 15 minutes into a 40 minute chapter, it will go back to the beginning of the book or chapter. If i listen through the headphones and pause the book or close out of the ipod app, it will pick back up at the 15 minute mark when I start listening again.

Jim-I have a 80 gig classic and a 8 gig nano (when I run) --I had symantic and did not have synching problems and now I use panda without problems.
I also have the sat radio (in my BMW) and switch back and forth between IPOD and Sat radio.
I have 2 problems with ipod in car--1) cannot back up a track--have to go all the way back to beginning. 2) no podcast playing at all--I have everything from golf lessons to educational tracks on podcasts which I would like to listen to when driving.
the movies on ipod would be icing on the cake.
One reason I waited for the 2010 was the better ipod interface--better but not complete apparently

I guess with this type of system, unless it's on a CD, we'll not be able to scan forward and back the way we like. Must be a digital interface thing.
