IS200t is born

Picked her up yesterday. Well pleased with it, looks the business. Cant believe how well she handles and goes like a scalded cat. Getting around 24 to the gallon so far but to be fair have been thraping it quite a bit, seats are uber comfy for me. Only things I need to play with a bit more are, the satnav, when entering postcode it only takes first 5 digits then have to enter the street? cant find anything in settings to allow me to enter full postcode. Also the radio, there's not a lot of staions available? done the re-search stations a couple of times but still no joy. Other than that a stunning car

Looks fantastic! I think they offer great value for the performance available. 5 digit postcode is normal for Lexus.

Thanks Steve, saved me running through all of the settings, will get used to it I suppose.

My 63 plate is300h allows full postcode entry on p2 of the menu. So why would they backslide on this?

[andywin]

I cant see any option for full postcode? Have you the premium or standard nav?

Page 2 on the Premier Nav, don't know about the standard nav

All modern Lexus vehicles support 7 digit postcode entry.

For example if you have 7 digit postcode such as BD12 3FU, put it into the Sat Nav like BD123FU i.e continuously.

For a 6 digit postcode like BD3 3FU, you have to put it in like BD3space3FU. Try it, I bet that was the problem!!

Nah, regardless of space or no space it changes screen after inputting 5 digits to enter the street info. If you go back you have to start again

Ok so to confirm.... you are pressing nav - destination - page 2 - postcode and then putting the post code in?

im not at car now but from memory. Pressed map, destination, address, went right on the menu wheel to the options (the three dots) select postcode. Then the wheel comes on screen for entering characters, select the characters (it was a seven digit but tried a six after as well with the space) it changes screen after 4 characters and allows you to scroll through the numbers for the 5th character, then it changes screen to enter street and house number?

I use Sygic on my phone.....far superior !!  One off payment of £18 and it's excellent.

Don't even need a screen mount, just sit phone in the centre cup holder.

Got you mate! 

Ok next time, instead of going nav > destination > address, go to nav > destination > now look for something near the top that says 1/2 and click it to go on 2nd page > then click postcode.  

You should get full 7 digit postcode providing you input the format correctly depending on if it's 6 or 7 digits. 

I very rarely use the "address" button

rayaans tip with the space helped me out a while ago as i struggled entering a 6 digit postcode.

Let us know how it goes, hopefully it should sort the problem out.

[andywin]

Thanks Ray, found it. There's not a second page, its just further along the menu god knows how I missed it, i was going into address and using postcode from there which restricts the characters, further along the destination menu there's a postcode tab as you quite rightly said, this allows full entry. My problem was the car was supplied with a note from the factory to say they havent got any satnav manuals in stock!

[rayaans]

Glad to see you've sorted it out.  One less thing to distract from loving your IS!
