I just discovered last night that you can use the keypad numbers to enter addresses into the nav! So, if you're going to 1234 NE 39th Street, just use the keypad to enter 39, then push the knob (OK) to confirm, then enter 1234 and push the knob (OK) to confirm and up comes the list of choices!

My nav hate level just went down 3 points!!!

Thanks..l didn't know that.........Does anyone know if the 09 HD system is any better ????? The 2010 RX 350 nav system at work is incredible...

I played with the 09 HD system. It's still a pain because you don't have a wheel like in the C and 2010 E. So, you still have to hit the buttons on the COMAND up and down and sideways to do anything.

Have you had a chance to play with the 2010 RX system? I really wanna find out how it works? Also, I looked on the Lexus website the other day to see if the system will download iPhone contacts (all current Lexus systems don't) but they still don't have the 2010 RX loaded.

Saw this the other day on TV. It looks great and also has a heads up display

Also fun to use the telephone # to get the address

I just wish the Command system was touchscreen.. like all other automakers

But the Lexus system is quite not nice, very user friendly....well positioned on the vehicle, sits up higher.....The "haptic control"(mouse) is very user friendly. The visual(interface) on the Lexus system makes my 06 system look 10 years old...The head's up display looks great...the rear entertainment system is state of the art...The USB and ipod ports are positioned inside the center console, which l don't like, but l think they are working on that..Us Benz guys know Lexus.."boring and practical"...The old model held 36% of the luxury SUV market and l can't see that changing...The base model is $46,000 Canadian compared to $57,000 for the M-Class..l have to give the RX its props..its a nice vehicle.."good bang for the buck"...especially in this economy...

maybe you will finally get one C-rod.

That ***=u=me's that you are already in the correct city and state for that street address.

baxterdown

Yes, indeed. If you are not, then it's back to the ho-so-atrocious knob!

Don't feel too bad. I only knew to use the numbers because my kids showed me!

l do get about a $4000.00 savings on it, with my employee discount, which would help with the taxes...Mind you, we "Canucks" pay 13% taxes up here..l may consider it. l would like to see this ML450 hybrid first ??? l did own a 1999 Lexus RX300, about 9 years ago..."I felt too much like a senior driving it"...

Some of we do and some of we only pay five percent. Depends where you live.

In Ontario, we pay 13 %...........My friends out West pay the 5% G.S.T...
