I purchased this vehicle 2 weeks ago. After driving my 2011 RX 350 I have found the learning curve steep and have been reading websites and watching many video tutorials. Your tutorial stands “above the crowd” with clear, concise, informative and demonstrative instruction. Kudos!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thank you so much for your vey kind comments! I'm so glad the video has been helpful for you. You may have this already, but in case you need Part 2, where I go over the new multimedia system here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6G2gKOQi6uYppY and this is a very short little Tech Tip video about the most common things I find people needing help with: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5-sknd3pK6drpI I hope you will continue to enjoy your new RX. Thank you again for your message!

[@kirklandwalls9446]

Thank you for your wonderful presentation, very helpful and informative. I just bought my rx 350 h and have not been able to activate the dash camera don’t know the said and password, these details are not visible to me

[@donnasherman8519]

This should be mandatory viewing for 2023/2024 RX350 owners 😊 This tutorial is excellent…. definitely my go-to to review any features I want/need to know about. I love the index that allows me to access directly the portion of the video related to the specific feature I’m interested in. Kudos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@NorthsideLexus]

Wow, thanks so much for all of your support and kind words! I'm very glad I was able to help you learn more about your amazing RX!

Amazing education session! It is very hard to read the manual without being in the car to try things out. This video was very well done, narration and video of each function. It is great that you have an index to the various topics so you can go back and repeat a section if needed. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put this together!!!!!

That is awesome! I'm so glad to help! the 2024 should be pretty identical, since the redesign just happened for 2023. If there are changes this soon, it could be with color selection or packages.

I'm only part-way through part 1, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this excellent video.

Great videos both parts 1 & 2! Just purchased a new RX350 and this is most helpful. Wondering about parking assist do you do a video on how best to use that feature?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Sorry for the delay. The Park Assist system responds to stationary objects at about three feet or closer, as long as the sonar sensors can "see" the object. When the system is on, it all happens automatically. If you are parking in a garage or something like that, you can tap on the screen to mute the alert sound and still see the visual aid. Do you have a specific scenario that I could help with? Thanks for being here.

Thank you so much for your continued support! That means so much. To go through a car wash, select the shortcut menu (it looks like a little ice cube tray, but the "Climate" tab in the middle of the main screen), I like to turn off Parking Support Brake & Parking Assist, then make sure to turn off the Auto Windshield Wipers. If you need to keep the car in Neutral for your type of car wash, then you will pull the gear shift to the left and hold it in place until Neutral lights up. At the end of the car wash, you will apply the brake, shift into drive and then you can turn your features back on before your drive. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here!

[@davetroy5706]

wow this video should be featured in the RX manual. One of the few tutorials that I didn't skip a second of. Thank you! question: are there drawbacks in keeping brake hold on all the time, meaning every time you come to a stop, e.g. red light, hills, traffic jams, you'll no longer have to keep your foot on the brake pedal? I just don't see a reason not to leave it on all the time, especially when driving in the city.

[@NorthsideLexus]

I think for normal day to day driving most people don't like to have to reactive the feature each drive cycle. I haven't seen any research on the feature being used for every drive. That would be a great question for your Lexus Technician since they are much more knowledgeable about how maintenance for the parts that operate the system would be impacted. Thanks for being here.

[@jeffreypicciolo7706]

Hi Melissa - your tutorial is the best I've see. Thank you. One question please. The Right side steering wheel HUD default display has an option for Average Speed and Elapsed Time. I like that. But what is shown on the Multi Info display is Total Time (not elapsed trip time). The two are not consistent. Total time is the number of cumulative driving hours, not the elapsed time of your current trip. Is there any way to display "Elapsed Time" on the Multi Function Display consistent with the HUD?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Unfortunately, on the new system the Drive Info screens are no longer customizable on the RX. You can toggle through and select which screen you want to have visible, but you can no longer customize what items show on those pages. Thanks so much for checking in and I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying my tutorials.

Great tutorial 👌, I just found so many lexus apps on the App Store, which one I should use ?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! So sorry for the delay! In the US the only compatible app for connected serviced is the Lexus app. It is a black square with a silver Lexus logo. Anything that has "enform" in the title is no longer compatible with the vehicles. I hope this helps. Thanks for checking in.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Happy to help! Congratulations on your new RX! Here's what we recommend for going through a car wash: Select the shortcut menu (it looks like a little ice cube tray, but the "Climate" tab in the middle of the main screen), I like to turn off Parking Support Brake (PKSB) & Parking Assist (PKSA), then make sure to turn off the Auto Windshield Wipers. If you need to keep the car in Neutral for your type of car wash, you will pull the gear shift to the left (follow the arrows, toward the driver) and hold it in place until Neutral lights up. At the end of the car wash, you will apply the brake, shift into drive and then you can turn your features back on before your drive. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here!

@@NorthsideLexus Will turning off Parking Assist turn off all proximity sensing beeps?

[@user-wn7fc1gs8z]

Thanks for a very informative video.. I have a question on the start stop feature: Can you change the time to wait before it activates? I don't want the engine to shut off as soon as I stopped...may be wait a minute or two?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Unfortunately that kind of customization is not possible. You can only choose between the Standard setting and an Extended setting. With the Extended setting, it won't prioritize the Climate Control so it will turn off more often. The best thing I have found is to only lightly apply the brake after you have come to a stop. Then it tends to keep the engine running. I hoe this helps. Thanks for being here!

Hi! There is a feature on the vehicle that will help it to hold in place temporarily while you move your foot from the brake to the accelerator peddle, when it engages you can hear it. It is similar to the feature that will hold you on a hill for a few seconds when you have the vehicle in Drive and have come to a stop, then move your foot to apply the accelerator. You can try pressing the brake a little longer and a little more firmly until the shift is complete and see if that helps.

Great video! One question I am stumped on…when locking the car without the key fob (instead touching the door handle), how do I get it to turn off headlights as well as locking the vehicle?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! If you are using the Lock button on the key fob, just press the Lock button twice. The first press will lock the car and the second press will turn off the headlights. Otherwise they will turn off about 30 seconds after the first press (like using the indentation on door handle.) I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey North side Lexus!! Anyway to change the gauge cluster design on the rx500h f sport? Without having to go into sport mode…. Thanks

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! There are also three Meter Type themes. Try this: Settings > Vehicle Customize > Meter Type > then chose from 1, 2 or 3 and see if that helps you get a style you prefer. Thanks for tuning in with me!

[@KuyaArbee]

@@NorthsideLexus okay! yea odd that they would say it as meter type XD lol instead of under gauges/display lol like in other brands... like in my Volvo. Thank you for the update! I Will try that out when I can! thank you for the assistance/help!!

[@HuyenTran-sk4yu]

Hello, I just purchased RX350 and have a problem at garage door opener set up. Can please help, Thank you!

[@redoctober2026]

Hi thanks for the excellent & helpful video. The safety system seems to be too sensitive and makes beep sounds too often. Very annoying. Is there way to reduce the freuency of the beeping sound? I would not turn it off, though.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks for checking in. There are a lot of different components to the safety system. Many are customizable in the Driving Assist or Vehicle Settings menus. What part of it are you wanting to customize? I'll see if I can point you in the right direction. I do review all settings in Part 2 of the deep dive, if you would rather just check that out: start at this section: 1:41:39 Driving Assist Settings. Thanks again for tuning in with me.

NICE CAR

[@NorthsideLexus]

It's really stunning! Thanks for tuning in with me!

[@user-dk2bn2hi5g]

Melissa - Really great tutorials. I've had my RX for a year and still learnt some things. One question I cannot find an answer to: I have two keys, one I carry one my wife carries. I am setup as the primary driver. How do I setup my wife's profile so the car recognizes her by a} image, and b) key? And will it move the driver's seat to her settings when she is the driver, and mine when I am the driver? Great tutorials - why doesn't Lexus provide them?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! You can have add your wife's Lexus app profile to the vehicle to have her as the secondary driver profile. (She will need her own app account with her email and cell. She will not scan the QR code or have the car in her app garage.) Once you add her profile, you can setup Face ID, if your RX has the Driver Attention Monitor and you can link her key. (Make sure her profile is active on the car then press the Settings Gear > Personal Info > Link Key.) You can save her seat position for Driver Position Memory. For multiple profiles, I recommend saving your seat memory to each profile and just have Primary be #1 and secondary be #2. Save it that way for both profiles so no matter which profile is active, the memory buttons will work correctly. I have seen mixed results with the seats moving automatically when you switch between drivers, so make sure to press the button just incase the seats do not adjust automatically. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here!

[@adamkrauss303]

Started watching. This is excellent, but do you have one for 2021 Premium model which I just purchased CPO? Edit - I found your 2021-2022 video - Thanks!!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Awesome! You were quicker than I was. Sorry I didn't get that to you, but so glad you found it! Thanks for being here!

[@sah7970]

I have the RX350h luxury package with HUD option. The forward/back buttons on the left side of steering wheel do not consistently move from one favorite audio station to another. I can start with a favorite, hit forward, and the next numerical SirusXM channel plays which is not in my favorite list. How do I get it to work correctly?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Sorry for the delay. The left and right arrow buttons have a couple of different operations. Push and release and you should go from one favorite to another, push and hold and it should Seek the next available signal. I hope that will help. I know the arrow pads can be tricky sometimes. Let me know if that doesn't get it and I'll see if I can come up with any other ideas for you.

[@baldicello]

Hello, I’ve been enjoying your videos and really appreciate it. Can you tell me what to do? I have a Lexus 2020 450H + with all of the accoutrements all the features basically the highest level; can you tell me how to put it through a car wash? What to turn off. Etc. Thank you.

[@baldicello]

I mean I have a 2024 Lexus 450H + (typo)

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks for checking in. I really need to do a video on this. It is a popular question. Here's what I recommend: 1. Turn off the automatic windshield wipers 2. Open the features shortcut screen (looks like an ice cube tray, small tab by the Climate tab on the main screen): Turn off, PKSA, PKSB (Park Assist and Parking Support Brake). Basically you want to turn off anything that beeps or applies the brake if the Parking Support Alert is beeping at you ;) 3. Shift into Neutral if your carwash requires that. (Move the gearshift to the left and hold for a couple of seconds.) Then at the end of the wash, apply the brake and shift into drive (left and back) I hope this helps! Thanks again!

[@baldicello]

Thanks so much for your immediate reply. This should help a lot all the best appreciate it.

[@Izaya_Orihara]

Is there a way to change the AC temperature units from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Unfortunately, that is programmed at the factory and can not be customized in the vehicle. Even on cars with a setting for Fahrenheit to Celsius, it was only changing on the Weather feature. And the weather feature has been replaced by the compatible weather app in our phone. Nothing seem to be able to change the programing for the AC/Climate system unit selection. Thanks so much for checking in with me!

[@RNNONMT]

Purchased a 2024 500h and would love to know where I can learn more about the energy flow - the colors are not as you show in this video. and I'm not sure what is actually happening! Where can I learn about this? - Also -- LOVED this video - thank you so much for sharing this information!

[@NorthsideLexus]

So glad you enjoyed the video. The colors and graphics seem to be getting some updates from Lexus. They happen through the cloud or through OTA software updates. It's also possible that the screen from filming and how it shows in the video is not exact since monitors can manage colors differently. The main thing is to look for the flow direction. That is how you can see where the energy is going to or coming from. The other place to check is in the NAV/Multimedia Owners Manual. See if there are more images there for you to explore. Thanks again for being here!

[@kevinmcguire5696]

I picked up my new Lexus almost 2 weeks ago. Very happy with it all around. One tech question though: Can the car be put into neutral and then turn the engine off so it stays in neutral? Very helpful for car washes....

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Sorry for the delay. I checked with a coupled of our Technicians and they explained that when the car is turned off, it will automatically go back to the Park mode and will not hold neutral. Apparently they leave the vehicle on and in neutral to go through the car wash, then apply the brake and shift into Drive to exit the wash. I hope this helps. Thanks again for being here.

[@waynelindemann9776]

I believe, as soon as your front tires roll on the car wash belt, you’ve got to hold the gear shifter to the left in the neutral position for a couple seconds until it stays in the neutral position. When it’s time to exit the wash, just move the gear shifter into the drive position as you normally do.

[@baldicello]

Hello, can you tell me how to access saved locations in my navigation for my 2024 Lexus RX 450 H Plus?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Favorite destinations should show in your Lexus app under Find > Destinations > Favorites. I have heard that they don't seem to always be accessible on the car screen. But you can try this on the car: Press and release the Talk button on the steering wheel > touch on the screen on the right hand side where it says "Destinations" > Then select the Favorites list on the car screen. Hopefully this gets you the info you're looking for. I'm not sure why the entire Favorites list isn't always accessible on the vehicle, but if I find out, I will let you all know :)

[@brianpark8792]

What are those two lights just above the SOS button? Does it mean anything?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Green light (usually on the left) = connection is good Red light (usually on the right) = comes on a vehicle start up as the system connects then it should turn off. It usually remains off, unless there is something wrong with the connection, then it will be red solid or red flashing. Either way a connection error needs to be addressed in your service department. Thanks for checking in! 👍

[@berniekitts1786]

I don't want to spoil the ending but Part 2 is also excellent....

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thank you for all of the amazing support over the years @Berniekitts1786 🤗you're the BEST!

[@robertlavrakas7442]

Part 2 of 8 ??

[@jeffs6090]

When should we expect to see the phev version arrive for purchase?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! That is such a great question. Lexus hasn't announced that for us yet, but hopefully we will hear about it soon. Thank you for tuning in with me!

[@williamtsue6506]

When turning off the engine. How do you keep the infotainment system on instead of the power turning off?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! There is a well hidden setting called ACC Customize. Settings > Vehicle Customize > Utility : ACC Customize When it is Off, it means the car can operate certain accessories while off (until you open the driver's door). When it is set to On, it means the car must be on to operate those accessories. The radio and main screen will stay on until you open the driver's door, or the system times out to protect the car's battery. (I'm not sure what that time frame is.) I hope this helps! Thanks for being here!

[@blessabe1]

Can we use the USB type A port for music? Can a flash drive to be used to play music? If so which format can be used? MP3 ?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi, yes, music from a flashdrive, when programmed correctly is possible. The USB ports that support data are usually under the arm rest. Make sure to look for the data icon, not just charging. You also should look in the Owner's Manual for formatting requirements. Keep in mind that the new systems are going toward streaming and mirroring music from the phone and not a flash drive. Also, many flash drives have a very large storage capacity now and the system on the car can not process all of the data quickly so they might timeout. It is better to have your music on a compatible smart phone or MP3 player. Connect with Bluetooth Audio or plug in to one of the data compatible USB ports and for better access to your music content. I hope this helps.

[@Grzegorz70]

1:35:12 It’s possible to turn on Break Hold permanently? Because switching on every time when I started to drive is very annoying.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi. Unfortunately it is not possible to permanently enable the Brake Hold feature. It resets each time the car is turned off. Thanks for checking in.

[@user-dx1jw8xg9e]

Have a 2024 350h premium plus with heated steering wheel, but there is no icon on the screen to turn it on. Am i missing something? thanks!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! I'm sorry that's happening. I have heard of this on one of our RXs when it was being checked after transport. The wiring connection needed to be checked in Service. I'm not sure if it was a connector problem or the clip. It was an easy fix, but needed a Technician. As soon as they plugged it back in, the icon popped up on the display by the seat heat/fan button. I hope this will help. Thanks for checking in with me.

[@susie2251]

Is there any feature to sync with your home garage door to open the door without a separate garage remote?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Yes. It's called HomeLink and the buttons are located on the bottom left side of the rearview mirror. Here's there site if you need help looking up your garage door motor: www.homelink.com/ Thanks for tuning in with me!

[@ledacassandra]

what is the little green light just above the sos red button?

[@NorthsideLexus]

There should be a green light to indicate that the SOS feature is connected and working and you may also see a green light for the Door Mode for the dome lights. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here!
