I was unreliably informed (maybe) that ME 2009 models with the full COMAND Nav package have full postcode. Yet to see it through. Most salesmen tell you what you want to hear…!

I was on a driving holiday in Wales last week and all my friends had there £100 tomtoms and Garmins plunged to their window screens. There’s me, feeling all superior with my £2,700 SEL MM system. Almost all tourist leaflets (for the usual Castles, steam railways, outward bound centres etc…) we picked up seemed to have a little box now simply stating “SAT NAV : “with the post code. EVERYONE else used this and I was stuffed!!!!! This is the preferred way to find a destination. I am now looking for a new car as my IS is nearly three years old. I can confirm that Jaguar, Ford and Mercedes all have full post code. I would love a new IS250c, but I think I will not accept a nav system with only partial post code and do not want a plunger on my screen. – Shame on you Lexus.

On a point of principle, if you read the sales literature “The New Lexus IS”, there’s only one, you know the traditional square brochure from the Lexus centre's, it does clearly state that when you have MM it WILL accept DVD's with MP3 --- if you don’t believe me, just read PP23 “the system can play MP3 and WMA files from a CD or DVD” This is what I read before I purchased my IS, and this is what I expect it to do…Tell me I’m wrong….! Surely we should be talking to Lexus about this ..and before anyone asks, it is still stated in the new brochures available today... Any experts on the Trade Descriptions Act!!!
