My Sony Ericsson address book is in my Nuvi and i can dial from Nuvi, i am sure BZASB did it too.
I could do it for my old Motorola V3 but not on the new V3x.... funni isnt it? I could however, get into the V3x Dialled and Recieved Call list.

Oops! I juz tried it again and successfully transferred V3x phone book to the Nuvi.... Cool! Sorry for the earlier post.

LMK... btw can the address book be permanently downloaded to the Nuvi? It seems to read and download when it is connected to the phone each time

Guys, just wanna check with you, when you lock your car from the console central lock, can the fuel cap be opened?

How do you know the mileage of your fuel tank? You need to drive till its empty to know that, don't you?
If I lock the car from the console central lock, the fuel cap can still be opened. Only through the remote control key, I can lock the fuel cap.

I normally drive till near 1/8 tank. My mileage then is usually close and exceed 500km.

i have called this company before i buy Nuvi from Expansys.
He told me that Singapore will only bring in Nuvi300 and not the 310 or 360.
They promised to call me once stocks arrived, now that 3 months after and 2 weeks using the Nuvi310, i still have not heard from them at all.
wah, like that say charm liao lah. Why we these group of wing flap gang always choose to buy High end product but got low end service ?

Yes, Patrick did told me yesterday that they are bringing in the Nuvi300 for Singapore.

Let see if he response to my email next week.

Oh yes, I know you guys wouldn't believe me, but I used to spot a six pack - when I was 20; now its one huge basketball!!! Ha...ha...ha...
Wow... with your intense exertion of internal strength, you managed to merge your six packs into one!
Impressive!

Colleague of mine tested the IS250 today & went along to try it too.

Not bad - drove the "basic" non luxury model:

Ride:
-BMW 325 better
-found the IS a little harsh at low speeds
-there was body roll on cornering too

Engine:
-while it's smooth - it is no match for the R6 bimmer engine
-very quiet though

Mark Levinson 14 speaker audio system
-this is the part i like
-really good "out of the box"
-damn good midrange & bass
-treble at bit bright

at 120+K damn good buy - a lot of "toys" thrown in - including ventilated aircon seats that cool your ass as you drive

but certain interior dash fascia pieces look very corolla

PML should be very worried - the IS250 is much better than the IS200 it replaces
this should be able to persuade a fair number of potential 3 series buyers to jump ship
if they can get over owning a Jap car
