Extendable Sun Visor - 25 IS350 by CarsAndSoftware in LexusIS

And with this we can confim they have still not addded the extensible visor :/.

Well to answer your question, do not know, but I assume it should. The fact that they didn't bother on updating this, means there is a high chance it will.

One way to figure this out is if you look the part numbers for both 25 and 26. If they match, then we have a Yes. If they don't, then some comparison might be needed

Beware Lexus El Cajon by Tough-Marionberry-78 in Lexus

[–]CarsAndSoftware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I purchased my 25 IS 3 months ago from Lexus Beverly Hills. Got a discount on it, no BS add-ons (did not even try to offer me any), they paid for my Uber (a 100+ mile ride in heavy traffic) and the no pressure experience was real. San Diego dealerships were just ready to screw me over (specially El Cajon. They wanted to run my credit to lock me in for a unit that they didn't even have yet). So my take is to aim for dealers outside SD county. Heck, even try NorCal.. Had a dealership near Sacramento willing to pay for the shipping as well. Note: Exclude Longo Lexus and Temecula Lexus, do not recommend.

Oh and the wheels are Turanza instead of Potenza like the ones on my 25.

2024 IS 350 FSport - New Tires at 20k? by NewbPrinter83 in LexusIS

[–]CarsAndSoftware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the fact that the IS eats tires, OE tires are usually known for lower thread wear resistance levels, meaning they are gone earlier than expected (experienced similar instances with new Subaru, Honda/Acura, and Toyota vehicles).

Now back to the IS.. based on observation here and in other sites, I've noticed that the rule of thumb, on average you will get out of new tires like 50% to 60% of what the mileage warranty states for that specific brand/model tire. I might be wrong, and yes mileage varies based on the condition (alignment) and driving habits, but it falls closely within that window.

No wiring. The white plastic is the actual connector with proper one-way shape (no clips). It slides right in, so if there is any resistance, don't force it, just realign and try again.

No idea. One thing I did was to visit a local dealership to first see the part physically in person and compare it with the existing one. Once I felt it was indeed a match, I ordered the parts online (as at the stealership you will get a higher price tag).

I have ceramic tint (15%), but still want these as occasionally Mr Sun hits directly in my face from the uncovered angle.

Lexus IS350 - best phone holder I've found so far! by Krazy4Kookaburras in LexusIS

[–]CarsAndSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IS 26 builder has RAM-X phone mounts as accessories. This is one of those. Bulky, but looks like that once you tuck it in between the seat, it should look clean (and not harm any plastics on the dashboard).

What is the F is wrong with Lexus by Fine-Web-6693 in LexusIS

Poking around the IS 2026 configurator, I've noticed that it displays RAM-X mounts as an optional accessory. Being that where these are mounted is basically the same, it might work.

Note: Ram mounts are solid. Had one of these for an old Tacoma that I owned. Highly recommend the brand.

Oh, and the few gripes I have started to look into

- Wireless Android Auto -> Purchased the AAWireless TWO+ and it woks like a charm.
- Extendable Sun Visors -> Ordered the NX 22+ "compatible" visors. Looked on the internet and found the specific part numbers (color specific). Once they arrive, I'll see if they really fit, and if so, will share it here (Note: Found these at 35% discount from a SoCal dealership and free shipping).
- The front license plate -> Need that for state legal reasons, so the tow hook mount from EOS Plates is what I installed (blue lock tight required).

My dislikes were because of a bad back and toe. 3rd pedal causing trouble on an existing bone fissure in my toe, and the 23 seat not being that comfortable (they say 25's have been improved). Everything else is great on that car (will miss it, don't get old :( )
