I have an 02 is it time to change disc? How much do they cost? I don't use

Any idea how long the battery in the remote key lasts?
Are there any warning signs when it's starting to lose power?

Besides the Lexus certified brand coolant, what's the next preferred brand

Our ES 350 has an auxilliary port for mp3 players.  What kind of cable
do I need to connect my iPod?  I thought it would be a regular USB
