I've tried everything in this thread and it appears that the 2006 SE-L isn't compatible with this. I will have to ask my dealer

I followed the video instructions and they don't work on my 2006 IS250; SE-L Can I download the diagnostic program and use my Bluetooth ODB?

Thanks for the video. Looks straightforward. Do your happen to know the bulb size? Thanks

Can I download the software from here? https://www.toyota-tech.eu/GTS/Wizard/Step5-Software.aspx and use my Bluetooth ODB to program everything I want?

Amazing! This is what I needed. I'll have Lexus do this when the car is in for an oil service next. Thanks!!

Hi. Manual doesn't give me any options to do it myself. The back of the manual refers to dealer settings that can be altered. However, it doesn't mention automatic Central locking

Hi All, I have a 2006 IS250 SE-L. I'd like the car to lock automatically (central locking) after I start driving and if possible, unlock when I put the car into Park. Is this possible? Thanks

Hi All, My gearbox Shift Selector Light on the centre console has gone out so you can't see the gear that you've selected at night (the dashboard selector still works and lights up). Does anyone know the bulb details? Preferably, I'd like to replace it with a white LED as I believe it is currently a green light. US forums have identified it as a #74 bulb...do we call it something different? Thanks guys.

I'd love to have a V8 ''F' for 24hours Still, the RC300 would be nice too - I really like the blue Lexus offer. Stunning car. Watch out for the insurance excess! Pretty sure the loan car agreements I've signed are £1000? At one point I was contemplating putting the car on my insurance... but then decided I didn't want Lexus affecting my premiums. They are pretty decent about the wear and tear anyway.

Quick question, why does the IS250 rev 'high' when cold starting? Is it something to do with the VVTI / catalytic burning? I think it does this for a while (if idle) and then settles. I love cold starts and seeing the exhaust condensation - with the twins pipes you see a lot of 'smoke' from the Lexus and other large engined petrol cars. I believe petrol burns at a higher temperature than diesel so this might be why too? Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Interesting replies and great tips on the oil change intervals. So did you guys unanimously vote for C3 or A5? If C3, then my question would be Castrol Edge or Magnatec? I've always used Edge in previous cars but I'm happy to use the other stuff based on your recommendations, Thanks!

Hi all, I'm reviving this thread as I didn't get a chance to show you my refurbed alloys. I'm very happy with the colour - Nissan's 'Gun Metallic' Grey (code KAD) Ps. I've posted this in the ISF forum too as I had another 'alloy wheel colour' topic going on there and wanted to thank them for their help and show them the results.

Hi All, Apologies, I know this topic has been discussed widely. I have searched the forums and Google but still require clarification as some people are providing conflicting information. I have a 2006 IS250 and I need oil. Castrol Oil recommendation tool states: Magnatec Stop-Start 5W-30 A5 and Magnatec Stop-Start 5W-30 C3 Opie Oils recommendation tool states: Magnatec Stop-Start 5W-30 C3 My forum searches bring back a range of recommendations because some people say you need Decos2 compliant oil (C3) whereas others recommend the A5. The Lexus manual which I found online (http://drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM53508U/pdf/OM53508U.pdf) states "SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If SAE 5W-30 is not available, SAE 10W-30 may be used. However, it should be replaced with SAE 5W- 30 at the next oil change". It doesn't tell me whether I need A5 or C3. Can anyone assist me in deciding between Magnatec Stop-Start 5W-30 A5 and Magnatec Stop-Start 5W-30 C3. Thanks!

Sounds like a plan! Yes, all 4. Lepsons via Lexus.

Hey. I saw the spec sheet with the two colour codes. I'm not going to go down that route as it'll be too expensive. So I need to stick to one colour. Yeah 1E3 is the one everyone says to go for, but one of the above comments said don't get it done and go for the BMW colour which threw me right off haha. It's a big decision and I don't want to get it wrong - to be fair anything between silver and anthracite is good to me as long as it isn't black... I just really like the F-Sport/ISF colour. If only I could see a fully painted 1E3 alloy.

Yeah you're right. Hmmm. What shall I do?!? lol

BMW Ferric Grey: Do you think it will look like this? This is Richcurtis1981's car: I was trying to go for this sort of colour but I like the BMW one now..

Hey! wow! what a colour, it looks stunning. I think this might now be my colour choice. Cheers!

Hi guys, sorry for all the thread revivals... I need to make a decision about the colour of my alloys by Thursday afternoon... My research seems to indicate that Toyota Phantom Grey Pearl – Paint Code 1E3 is the closest match to the Lexis IS-F / F-Sport grey.. As you've experienced using this with your grey alloys, does it match? Will I be happy with the colour? Thanks.

Hey guys. Has anyone asked the alloy wheel refurb place they've used to follow the code codes in the spec sheet that Denis kindly attached? I want the IS-F / F-Sport grey look. Thanks!

Hi All, I have until tomorrow afternoon to let the alloy wheel place know what colour I want to change the alloys. here is the short-list: -Toyota Phantom Grey – Paint Code 1E3 -1H9 Mercury grey -11GY38 & 11GY39 mixed together as per the official IS-F alloy spec sheet (http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/77148-isct-f-sport-alloys-colour-code/) -Nissan's 'Gun Metallic' Grey (code KAD). I want the Lexus IS-F / F-Sport grey look. I dislike black alloy wheels. Can anyone help me decide? Thanks!

Hey. I'll keep you posted. The car is booked in with the dealer for two weeks time.
