pro tip, change trunk "hidraulic lifts" easy process you just need a little googling which ones fits in there, and when you press the button, it will open the trunk for you.

Also if you have the mark Levinson sound system, it can sometimes cut audio after a couple hours or on a long journey if the volume is too loud. The amp in the trunk overheats.

@oliverthecarfreak2 жыл бұрын
it isn’t that bad, because the is250 has some few cool feature, one, the seat air conditioner, you can set it to hot, or cold, two, fancier bodykit, bodykits like from a newer lexus, it was really good for my dads car.

Rear seats don't go down on my 2007 Audi A4 either. I think the reason is they put a beam across the rear seat back to stiffen the body/chassis.
@edwardedmundson43569 ай бұрын
This is what I drive, and I absolutely love it. I was having trouble with the loud noise from the cabin air filter area, so I removed the filter and threw it away. That was more than a year ago, and the noise is gone. Changed the hood and trunk struts... now works great.
@Its_Ronin004 ай бұрын
The blend door you’re not supposed to force open… when you are going to replace the filter, you click the recirculating button and it will open the door and give you access to the filter. I’ve replaced mine 2 times and I have a 2008 and mine works perfectly

Fellow 250 owner from Ireland here, I agree with everything you say here. Another thing I hate is, when you shut the car off in park, you have to press the button again to get the radio to come on. The system shuts down and steering wheel retracts.

i have an imported RHD 08 is250 - and the sticky dash is horrendous, tried a few options to fix it with dash kits etc. Sorta helped sorta didn't since it's shiny now. So I ended up buying a dash cover to resolve the glare and the sticky dash. Sorta like a Band-Aid fix but there's nothing much I can do unless i swap it since cleaning it removed the coating and makes it all rubbery and kind of nasty... Oh yea the seats not going down kinda sucks but its a nice change from daily a modified 05 is300 that was kinda quick and great at corners.

the delay in throttle input is due to the electronic throttle system which is easily remedied and can be fine tuned to the drivers personal preference by installing a throttle controller
