Cockpit

Instrument cluster

Optitron dials placed nearer the driver's line of sight: white numerals and red needles lit by LEDs behind a curved, smoked, anti-glare acrylic lens, with a digital odometer and trip meter.

Centre display

Lexus DVD Navigator with 7-inch touchscreen multi-display

LCD with an infra-red touch panel. Maps moved from CD to DVD, and directions were spoken.

Lexus DVD Navigator with voice recognition (2003 facelift)

Recognises about 300 voice commands for navigation, audio and air conditioning.

Controls

With navigation fitted, climate and audio settings are made on the touchscreen, while switches around it keep the most-used audio and air-conditioning functions. Audio controls sit on the steering wheel, and top grades have audio and rear climate controls in the rear centre armrest.

Facts

The LS 430 introduced Mark Levinson audio, the first system the company supplied for a car.[2][1]
The 2003 facelift added Bluetooth hands-free and a rear-view camera shown on the same touchscreen.[5][4]
