Hello IS-F forum, this is my first post here.

My question is about the number of IS-Fs that have the pre-collision package. I have read on the site whee some people are not fond of the radar cruise control, but I absolutely LOVE mine! I find it hard to believe the rarity of that option in IS-Fs.

So, does anyone have any statistics on how many 2008, 2009, 2010 IS-Fs were manufactured with the pre-collision package? I have looked at about 150 IS-Fs for sale online over the last month and have seen 3 that had the pre-collision package (all 3 were 2008 and USB in color).

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Welcome aboard! PCS/Radar Cruise is a very expensive option so this option was not readily available for ISF's unless 1) Special ordered by customer or 2) packaged/special ordered by region or dealership.

Most cars packaged in 08 typically had ML/NAV. Depending on the region, cars were packaged certain ways. Western region typically ordered ML/NAV only. Southern region usually selected ML/NAV and PA. Those in the north east and eastern would go ML/NAV/PA and HW. Never was there a whole fully optioned packaged ISF unless special ordered.

Here is an offical breakdown of the cars made in 2008:

I just so happened to get the PCS/Radar. I've never used the Radar, since it only works in full automatic mode (not manual / sport mode).

However, I am so used to the PCS when I am backing up or parking, that it is a little weird not to hear the beeps in other cars now.

Overall, I like the PCS, but don't care much for the radar cruise control.

I think you're confusing the Park Assist (PA) with Radar Cruise/Pre Collision System. PCS is integrated with the Radar Cruise system. PCS allows control of your ISF via VDIM system to avoid an eminent crash situation. PCS will engaged the brakes and increase steering response when needed.
