Free Car Washes? by toddan

Is it true that any Lexus owner can go to any Lexus Dealer and get a free car wash?

No, it's not true! But if you have your car serviced there than, yes.
Lexus dealers on not in the business of washing cars.

iPod interface by emedway

The ES comes standard with an IPOD port, but an interface allowing for easier viewing/use is optional. However, the dealer tells me no ES's come from the factory with the IPOD interface, at least in New England where I live. Instead it is a dealer installed accessory. Unfortunately, this both increases the price and requires the dealer to remove and replace the dash. My main concern is the potential for squeaks and rattles later on caused by this procedure. Thoughts?
 
thanks

Satellite Radio by djdj

I test drove the 2009 ES Monday night (in the rain) and really liked it. Very quiet even with all the water on the road.
 
I want satellite radio in my next car. The A4 and TL have their modern antennas but the ES doesn't. According to the salesman, the demographics for the ES are for 'older drivers' who don't often purchase satellite radio so Lexus doesn't bother integrating the radio.
 
I was told that XM radio gets the black box (about 1 inch square on the trunk and that the Sirius radio gets an antenna inside the rear window.
 
I know you have to pay a lot extra but that is okay. I'd prefer XM but don't want the antenna on the trunk.
 
Does anyone here have Sat Radio? Which network do you have and where is the antenna?

Hi. Since Sirius and XM are merging it probably doesn't make a difference. I have a 2007 350 and had the small black box placed inside the car on the back ledge behind the seats right next to the third brake light. No problems with receptions although at first the dealership said that it wouldn't work there I pressed the issue and found out that their GM had his put there too. Good luck.

I ending up buying a 2008 ES350 with XM. My dealer said they only mount the antenna in the rear package shelf. Works fine once the single got activated. Quite a pain to get that done. The salesman said he has a lot of trouble with XM activations.
 
Unfortunately we've had a lot of snow in Cleveland and I won't drive the new car in that so its seen a lot of garage time. Maybe tomorrow I'll take it out.
 
Love it so far.

Fold down rear seat? by mackfam

Just a quick question. Does the rear seat fold down or is it just a pass thru like the TL? Thanks

The rear seat in the ES350 just has a pass thru. All model ES's from the 1992 until the present did not have fold down rear seats.
