    At the moment I made a direct connection of my phone to aux input , while for hand-free phone operation I already have BT connection, unluckily this one works only for phone calls, while for audio it does not, so I am waiting for another BT interface made ONLY for audio transfer, not for hands-free , just ordered on ebay. Of course for continuos operation it's better to connect to a 5 volts external power to avoid discharge of cell-phone battery. The interface is something like this: http://www.ebay.it/itm/350680756664?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

    Just made some experiments about high quality radio and in my opinion today, choosing the right broadcast, the best is to connect a smartphone or a tablet to aux input using an internet connection and an app like Tunein: you get thousands of radio stations and choice of genres . The next step is to put on my car (GS 450h 3rd gen.) a BT interface so to avoid to phisically have to insert a cable to phone output of my phone to enjoy internet radio.

    Bought a E14 DVD version for my GS 450h on ebay and it works fine: try searching Toyota Lexus navigation dvd. The latest version is E16, bau at the moment it's rather expensive, may be better buying E15 . In DVD box sold by Lexus there are 4 dvds east, central, North andd west Europe, bue sure to ask for maps you need.

    How long will you leave the car unused? I remember that in user manual they recommend to start the car at least one time a month for some minutes to avoid troubles for batteries, if you only have 2-3 weeks there should be not problems.

    Unluckily here in Ialy LED bulbs are not legal as replacement to W5W bulb, but there is another solution :) Philips W5W Xenon Ultimate Effect have a higher temp and make a better light than standard W5W, even if probably they last less. http://s.sbito.it/images/39/3910679765.jpg

    Same on my GS, I think that it's probably because in winter you have to keep the car warm inside, so the thermal engine stay on more time to have hot water in conditioning circuit, and so it is charging more batteries.

    The problem for LPG conversion is quite technical, because if the engine works like in GS450H with Atkinson cycle and double injectors for each cylinder, having direct and indirect injections accordingly to different rotation speed, installing LPG is quite a mess, even more considering that in a hybrid vehicle thermal engine have many starts and stops.

    Ciao Flavio, I live in your same country, and have just serviced my GS in a Lexus seller who also sells Toyota, and there is not such a rigid distinction of brands. Besides, I had to change my brake pads in Germany just 2 months ago and I did it in a Toyota service; probably it's only a problem for bigger troubles like haveing to change whole engine. My Lexus (Toyota) service is in Busto Arsizio.
