    Hi guys even my wife absolutely loves is250, says omg big difference from is220d which was sluggish non responsive but is250 smoother, responsive,quiter, should have bought it earlier. When I bought mine just over 40k on clock lexus Plymouth said done major service now rather then 60k.so I'm assuming they changed plugs too.

    Hi guys getting back to USB connection again, I did use two pins to open dvd slot, got no USB connection but only cd slot. I'm assuming it's used to update sat nav using cd.

    If garage does lexus on a regular basis, then should have right tool. Have u tried kwik fits or just buy new tool.ebay ones might not be good quality try Toyota or lexus.if you want one that got warranty for life, then buy snap on, but it's lot more expensive.

    I never even attempt to do service on my is220d, had this garage who charged me £20 to service, I supplied parts and even stamped my book.no hassle took them 20 mins.had a mobile mechanic come to do service but didn't even have right tool to open filter housing.tried with big grips but gave up, garage charged me 20, thier tool was broken, used biggest grips they had @ it opened, he told me if car is hot it won't open due to pressure.had it done twice only cost me 70 for service, is it really worth all the hassle for 20.
  9. ahmedali44
    Normally u take dip stick out to release pressure plus if car is hot it's not gonna open

    Tried using sat nav from Plymouth to essex but gave up, used my own brain sat nav, as been to Cornwall before, around London don't really need it as I'm a London taxi driver,sat nav around London is useless,too many buildings. Not too concerned about USB or auxiliary connection, had it on my is220d, didn't use it in 2yrs, but did want Bluetooth. If I go outside London prefer tomtom, it's much easier @ quicker to use.

    Ok won't get facelift but can get one if u look around for 6k.

    Ok thanks will look again, another question got wire with small jack one end which fits in armrest marked auxiliary other end in phone but selected aux on sat nav but nothing is happening as tried playing utube and nothing. Are there any setting or only playes prerecorded music from your phone.

    But how you remove panel, does it require special tool????Jamesm182 did mention about a tool in tool kit,but couldn't find it
  17. ahmedali44
    Hi guys just noticed that I got 2 small holes either side on sat nav aswell but did check, no tool to open it,maybe someone can take panel off @ show what is behind it,picture attached of sat nav

    It doesn't worry me if no USB as don't use it anyway, my is220d had auxiliary connection which I never used,is250 got auxiliary connection, will try it out sometime, still trying to work on how to use navigation,my tomtom is easier to use. 😁 it's got Bluetooth which is handi, cooled seats also handi.

    Another question can u get into hidden service menu on navigation and alter setting,like doors locks when u pull away, mine unlockes when put back into Park, but dosnt lock when you pull away,test drive one door locked but didn't unlock in Park. So can you change settings through navigation system?????? Thanks
  22. ahmedali44
    Yes according to log book it says se-i and no blind, only seen on se-l, as my is220d was se-l with rear blind,has urs got rear blind?????
  23. ahmedali44
    All adverts seen says sei multi media plus got ml sound system, normal log book should tell u or do autotrader valuation, it tells about car.im surprised too no USB in armrest on 59, seen few didn't really bother to look for USB connection, there is one in Scotland says multimedia pack. Anyway can't get everything in used car, unless bought new.
  24. ahmedali44
    Yours must be is250 se-i multimedia plus it's registered 2010, think se-l is up to 58 reg.mine is September 2009.wife never driven auto before, even she notice difference between is220 and is250, said is220d was sluggish, this is great,more power,smoother.
