Nabil complains about I-Drive all the time but honestly I think it's better than the Lexus version. I love how you can zoom in/zoom out with the knob on the BMW, it's much faster.

The directions seem better as well. I remember coming home from Long's house it told me to take the 5 S > 91 E > 405 S > 5 S. WTF. I normally take the 5 S all the way down. Not to mention the lack of RTTI. The guys on ClubLexus complain about I-Drive 24/7 but I totally disagree. I drive the IS about 3 times a week.

The Touchscreen is a nice little feature but the buttons aren't that intuitive. They don't have all the options I want on the screen either. (Route list for one). The back-up camera is very nice though. Decently clear.

Steve you agree?

I concur justice tran...

actually funny enough...i prefer my pdc over the backup camera in certain ways. most likely it's cuz i don't drive the lexus enough to get used to judging the distance on the camera. The camera's great for looking out the back i guess, but i prefer the audible beeps more than the visual.

That's difficult. Always a lot of mixed reviews. Looking at my bro's I-Drive, i feel that the map isn't as clear as it is on the IS.. it's sorta fuzzy while the one on the IS is very clear.. i also don't like how the map leave a big black screen on the right making it smaller when not using a destination point. It's probably just getting used to using the I-Drive which i will have to get used to..

Yeah I wish I had PDC. Having both would be nice. The backup camera in the G37 > Lexus though. It has digital lines to guide u.

Turn the right side on. You can set it to various diff. screens.

oh god, the voice is annoying in the Lexus too. I turn it off though. It reminds you to stay on the freeway like over and over.

2SwiFt29 · 01-22-2008, 02:38 PM

steve.. if it's not too much trouble, see if you can help me do chococat for this

big resolution and sig please

EAS is *supposedly* developing some cam for E92 people

who knows.. RR might come up with DP's before them tho

PDC is good if you have dark tint IMO, i think it's reliable. i wish there were front PDC
