Hi,

I owned a 07 Japan Spec of IS250.

May I know where can I upload Malaysia Map into the Navi-system? How much?
&
My top speed was set at 180 only, how to open it?

thanks

 

[jeweltag]

i wonder who can answer zhengfeng_tee's question? i am in need of the two items as well

 

[xfuture]

To answer both question of above.

1. No. "Currently" there is no way to changing the maps in the Navi system.

Even I'd inquired FlyAudio replacing the whole navi system (they will replace the whole console), but their feedback is, it's not supporting JP spec. currently it's for UK spec only, you might lost climate control if installing it.

2. Top speed, yes, you might need to adding in some SpeedCut remover, but you have to ensure the device is match with our car, some devices are limited to few model of cars.

just to add, the meter is up to 180kmh as well. last i heard you need to change the meter as well.

Contemplating between buying 2010 IS250 and Mercedes C200k, both reconditioned, unregustered...

Mercedes has more brand power in Malaysia
Road tax is cheaper
Better fuel consumption
Relatively better resale value
Low reliability for a4 yrs old car
Bland interior


Lexus
More reliable
Smooth V6
High fuel consumption
Excellent interior
Great features

Price is almost the same and rear leg room isnt a big issue for me.

Any sifu who are long term owner if IS can help?

Thanks

Luxurycarlover, my 3yr+ IS250 never give me any prob. If you would like me to put a word to describe the car, it would be very comfortable in that class. The quietness, nice audio system, smooth v6 NA and transmission leads my passengers went to sleep most of the time.

Comfort.
Silence.
Reliability.

The other observations you have made.
The only weakness of the IS vs the MB is Ram-ability.
To ram carjackers or thieves, the MB wins.

 

[Luxurycarlover]

Thanks dleetk, i got to agree on the points u mentioned. Actually i do like is250 but do u think it has the same WOW effect in common people's eyes as a mercedes has?

Please don't mislead people.
Nowadays NCAP do a few test. One of them is pedestrian safety.
And also theres crumple zone. If ur car is hard as a tank and doesn't absorb the impact, u will crack ur neck and chest(if u are wearing seatbelt). If no seatbelt, basically u just projects out like a missile.

Buy a car for yourself, don't buy it on brand perception. Girls says Evos are just souped up normal car, but then its actually a track weapon. Mostly who will truly appreciate cars are car enthusiast. Don't listen to you grandma, girlfriends or friends.

I am longing for the RS200.

Please don't do shameless self promotion and spam this thread.

Are you YOURSELF an IS250 or MB owner?

TS asking for opinions from IS250 owners.

I have one. I also prefer an MB only if I am caught in carjacking situation and need to ram my way out.

Well, you should fark yourself first. Don't you have common sense not to speak vulgars in public forums?
And I have been in this forum for a long long time. I have asked the mods for permission.

I have a suggestion for you. Go back into your mom's womb, and deform yourself to ovum and sperm.
Don't ever ever match up and be born, alright?

 

[JinJangJoe]

You have a problem understanding simple English.
Are you an IS250 owner?
If not you are in here for shameless self promotion.
Talking about NCAP rating blah blah is irrelevant.
TS looking for IS 250 oowner's opinions.
So shut the fuck up with your spamming.

It seems the discussion went wild.

Nope, you have a problem understanding the usage of common sense.
No I am not but does it prevent me from stating my facts?
IS MY FACTS FREAKING WRONG?

Owners and non-owners can provide opinions.
Not just one sided like you.
If I have self promotion, please do report me.
Because I've been here for a year, mods didn't ban me yet.
You are the first one to have problems with me.
Get your filthy mouth out of here before some strangers came in and see that you have tainted the whole damn forum.
When you argue, please state where am I wrong? You are a true Jin Jang man.
