#12 of 71 Ultra by jefftp Apr 29, 2002 (7:22 pm)
JBianco & JSB16:   I don't know that I agree- the reclining rear seat in the Ultra is pretty sweet... Its the most comfortable you are going to be in a moving vehicle, with the possible exception of a private railcar or the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car Cartier "L". An then just think: No longer would the kids have to be content with rolling the power windows up, and down, and up and down and up and down and... They could recline the seet up and back and up and back and up and back and ...........

I did seriously consider the Ultra. The back seat does provide serious comfort. But I guess I just didn't need it bad enough. Maybe next time. If the gadgets keep the kids amused, then there's certainly some value add for you.

#16 of 71 Default settings ?? by c5gold Jul 02, 2002 (4:40 pm)
I'm a new member to this discussion. I pick up a new LS430 UL tomorrow. I've seen several references to default settings for nav system and ??. Does this refer to the dealer's ability to "program" various functions in the car ? On the test drive, I noticed the auto door locks do not unlock (rear) when car is shut down or in Park. Is this programmable ?? What else is ? Any info would be appreciated. Thx
#17 of 71 Locks by stevestein Jul 03, 2002 (12:42 pm)
Dealers can set the door locks to work in the following ways: 1 click of unlock button on key unlocks drivers door (default) or all doors. Putting car in park unlocks drivers door (default) or all doors All doors lock when car is put in gear(default) or at 12 mph Door relock setting 30 sec (default) or 1 min

Thanks for the locks info. I have had my car Black on Black LS 430 for three weeks with no issues. I love this car. However, I would highly suggest the parking assistance accessary feature. I continually bump into pillars as it is difficult to judge the bumper from obsticles and there is no molding on the bumpers. Just a thought....
#19 of 71 '93 LS400 New to Town Hall by pedronc Nov 16, 2002 (6:01 pm)
Purchased my Pearl White '93 6 years ago with 42K and now have 110K. Great car, showroom condition with only the minor dash lite recalcitrance at start up during cooler weather which is November thru February here in North Carolina. Just signed up today, so will be an interested and active member. Plan to move up to a 2001 LS430 in a year or so.   pedronc
#20 of 71 Lexus cell phone by billfalik Dec 03, 2002 (12:14 am)
I pick up my Lexus LS 430 in 2 days. I have owned BMW's (7 series) for 20 years. I just was wowed by the comfort of the LS and the quality of the GPS system. Any hints on asking the dealer (Serramonte- Daly City, CA) what to pre program for me. Also, any suggestions on a good hands free cell phone system. The Lexus cell phone at $3,000 is just too pricey.

I don't know much about car cell phone because I don't have one installed on the car. My Nokia hand held works fine with a handfree attachment.   As to the program on the LS, the first change is free. Unless your dealer's pre-program doesn't count to the first free change, I suggest you try out all the manufacturer default settings for a few weeks before deciding to change any. After I have my LS for a few months, I decide to keep the default settings.
