Thanks for that link, I will see what the dealer says first. Hopefully they will do it for free as I am just arranging a service plan with them.

I must admit I like the windows down feature as well, I have had it on my last 2 Volvos. I use it in the summer when I walk up to the car on a hot day, it lets some of the heat out, so I think I will request both.

How weird, perhaps it is the file ext I am using on the Mac?

Thanks for the reply's. I have figured the USB issue out, all the music was copied from my MacBook, but it looks like Lexus does not recognise Mac software. I formatted it to fat 32 on my windows 10 laptop added the music & it now works.😀 I tried holding down the lock & unlock button for 5 - 10 secs, but still nothing, looks like a trip to dealers at some point.

Thanks both for your answers I will speak to my local Lexus dealer & ask if they will enable the windows for me. I have tried scrolling through, but it doesn't find the usb. I will reformat it tomorrow & then add a few mp3's & see if that works.

I picked up my new Manganese Lustre IS 300h with comfort pack & protection pack from Lexus Derby today, fantastic service. I drove it back down to Kent & must say it was pleasure to drive & very comfortable. I managed 54mpg over the 180 mile trip, mainly between 60 & 70mph, very impressed. I have 2 quick questions that you experts may be able to help with? The first question is, my 2 USB stick do not appear to work? They were ok in my V40 on the way up? Am I doing something wrong? I doesn't appear to see them. The second question, is it possible to open the windows & close the windows on the remote like the V40? Many thanks Steve.

Thanks, I will wait for the V5 & then try to set it up.

I pick my new IS up tomorrow, does anyone know if the Lexus app works with the IS 300h? Thanks. Steve.

Thank you so much all of you for your quick replies, this looks like it is going to be great forum to be a part of. I am sure there will be a lot more queries in the weeks & months ahead. 😊 I am a long time member of a couple of watch forums & enjoy them very much, so I am sure I will be on here for a very long time.

Thanks Herbie, I never run a car that low on fuel, but thanks for the advice. How does the heater work on cold mornings if the car does not use the engine all of the time?

Thanks Mr Vlad, unfortunately mine does not have the ML sound system. It is a new Is300h in Manganese Luster with comfort pack & protection pack. The V40 I had was 190bhp & 0-60 in 7.4 secs & a lot of torque so quite nippy. I know the IS is a second slower 0-60, but I am getting older & need to take things a bit easier & relax a bit more. I just hope it is not too sluggish. I have also been watching some of the Youtube videos on driving techniques & found them quite interesting.

I am glad you both like the IS 300h, that is very reassuring. I don't take a lot of notice of motoring journalists, they criticised the V40 from the start, but I owned it for 5 years & really liked it. Another probably stupid question to you guys, but, when do you you use the foot/handbrake? At traffic lights, on hills or just when parking?

My Volvo is a manual, the only auto I have really driven any distance was a golf plus in the South of France. I had it for 2 weeks & drove about 2,000km, I quite liked it. I am hoping I enjoy the CVT as much.

Thanks very much for the quick reply Mincey. I am hoping I like the IS 300H when I get there Saturday, I have never driven one. I was supposed to before we went into lockdown, but it was then cancelled. I have to travel about 170 miles to pick it up, so I should have a good drive home fingers crossed. I am hoping it is as good as my Volvo V40 D4 or better, although I know it is a slower car. How are you enjoying your IS? Is there anything you do not like about it, how do you find the power/performance?

Hi everyone I have said hello in the new members forum. I have owned a Volvo V40 D4 for the last 5 years, it has been a great car, but I fancied something a bit different. My Volvo had a speed camera alerts on it & I was just wondering if anyone knows if the 2020 version of the IS 300H has this as well, I have looked but cannot find any information on it? Many thanks Steve.

Hi Everybody, I pick up my new IS 300H on Saturday & I am really looking forward to it, I have always liked the IS models & decided now is the time. I have owned Volvo's for the last 10 years, so this is something a bit different.
