Month 6 of driving my TX 500h FSport... After 30 years of driving Lexus (ES, GS, LS, GX, LX) I can officially say, that the TX is probably the BEST vehicle Lexus has ever built or I have ever owned. And yes, I traded in my new LX for the TX... Best decision I ever made. Without a full review, the TX is simply "more" of the positive things for substantially "less". So value is through the roof. This tutorial taught me features I did not know I had or how to use... I can't wait for part 2. Again, this vehicle is amazing. Thank you for the tutorial and Thank you Lexus for a great vehicle!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thank you so much! Great to hear that you're enjoying your TX! And I'm very happy to help you learn all about it. I'm trying to squeeze in any spare moment to film and edit part 2 for everyone. Thanks for staying tuned!

[@polarlys4939]

[@mkudipudi]

You are the best. I went through your RX tutorials for my TX, Thank you very much for doing these.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thank you! I hope the RX videos helped in the mean time. Now I just need to get Part 2 done fast ;)

[@ericthedude9457]

@@NorthsideLexus That's what I was going to ask!? I suppose we will have it (2nd tutorial) soon enough! It's amazing how much stuff these vehicles contain! Thank you so much for the thorough tutorial! I am hopefully upgrading from a 10yr old car, so there is much to learn!

[@NorthsideLexus]

@@ericthedude9457 Thanks so much for learning with me. I'm working away on the TX Part 2 Deep Dive and hope to be able to get it filmed and edited soon. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Your video has been a great help. I discovered things I had no idea existed.

[@donlee1446]

Have a great time! Just did my first road trip from Dallas to Austin and it was an amazing experience! Congratulations and please enjoy!

[@huychvo1318]

Can you tell me how much the price OTD is? Cause I’m trying to get one

[@thefireconvoy9930]

Most comprehensive video out there. Thank you!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much for being here! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial :) More to come!

[@RossihungMK1]

This video is awesome🎉🎉👍🏻👍🏻Just ordered my TX350 last month.This video has saved me a lot of time to dig through hundreds of pages of the owner’s manual. Cant not wait for the part 2😆

[@NorthsideLexus]

Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Congrats on your new TX350!👍

[@jackieortiz8477]

[@kdisha]

Just got my TX plugin hybrid, waiting for part two !👍 Do you know how long does it take to recharge the battery when you are in the Charge mode on the highway? Thanks one more time!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Congrats on your new TX plugin hybrid! So exciting to see those on the road now! I haven't been able to drive the PHEV TX since they are usually presold when they arrive :( Thank you for checking in with me!

[@tommyl810]

The video is very comprehensive, and I have learned many new things that I didn't know on my TX. Thank you again! I have a 12.3" gauge cluster. There are 3 customizable gauge clusters. Is it possible to use Meter Type 1 for gauge cluster#1, Meter Type 2 for gauge cluster#2, and Meter Type 3 for gauge cluster#3? Or the 3 customizable gauge clusters have to be on the same Meter Type? Thanks.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! The Meter Type selection is universal, but you will notice that as you move through Page 1, 2 & 3 there are some visual changes no matter which Meter Type you've selected. I hope this helps. Thanks very much for tuning in with me!

[@linhdinh136]

Very helpful video. Can we have part 2 please?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Working on it as fast as I can :) Thanks for staying tuned!

[@tommyl810]

The video is very nice. I have a question that I couldn't find an answer in that owner's manual. My TX is equipped with a regular optical mirror. There are only 3 homelink buttons and no other buttons. How do I turn off the anti-glare(auto dim) rear mirror/side mirror feature? Appreciate your help.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Unfortunately, they actually have removed that button. It is now only an auto dimming mirror with no option to turn it off, even for that drive. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you :(

[@tommyl810]

Another question that I have is on the side mirrors autodim. Is it true that only the driver's side mirror can autodim? My passenger side mirror does not dim at all. And I have noticed the mirror construction on the driver side is different from the passenger side. Thank you again.

[@NorthsideLexus]

That's correct. A few years ago they started adding auto dimming on the driver's side mirror only. As you pointed out, the mirror surface does not have the outline around the edge that indicates auto dimming. This is a change that seems to be applied to many models across the line up. It would be a great question for Lexus, but my guess is that as they have added so many safety features as standard equipment, they have had to remove or make optional, features that used to be standard to keep the cost of the vehicles in the proper price range. But I don't work for Lexus headquarters, so I can't be sure.

[@JamieDevine-ck7bd]

This is great but now I need part 2. I can't find it though 😕

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much. I'm still filming and editing Part 2. I will update the description with the link as soon as I have it. They take a long time for me to make them since I do this in my spare time between my normal job responsibilities. But I'm working on it as quickly as I can. Sorry to keep ya waiting. Please stay tuned with me :)

[@georgeli2710]

Is there AWD button to instantly use AWD to get out of snow/mud? Or does the vehicle sense you're stuck and apply automatically?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! If you have an AWD version of the TX, then it is full time All Wheel Drive and the system will adjust based on traction and wheel slippage. There is also a Trail Mode button that can help if you are on an off-roading type of surface. I hope this helps. Thanks for checking in.

[@ttran8119]

Is there an auto lock feature when you exit the vehicle after a certain time period has passed? Something similar to the rear walk away button.

[@NorthsideLexus]

I sure wish we had that. Unfortunately, at this point none of the Lexus models have a auto locking feature after a door has been opened. There is an auto relock timer, but that only works if you unlock the car and then don't open the door for an extended period time. It will relock. But if you open a door to load things or go for a drive, it will not lock itself after you exit the vehicle. Thanks so much for checking in.

[@ttran8119]

@@NorthsideLexus I see. Thank you for the reply.

[@RAYMONDCHENG927]

Can you have a Full tutorial for RZe please

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! That is definitely my plan. I have one partially edited, but my schedule got so booked up with training new associates that I am just getting back to videos after a long delay. I will be working on TX Part 2, RZ, 2023 LS & then 2024 LS changes. I have a lot of videos to catch up on. And now the 2025 UXs are already out. Oh my! I wish I could just do videos all day, but unfortunately it is not my actual job. LOL ;)

[@apriliak3]

I just want to make sure.. so there is no walk away lock feature, right?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Lexus does not have a walk away and auto lock feature for the vehicle other than the Walk Away Close and Lock button on the power back door. That is programmable. The only other auto lock possibility, is if you unlock the car but do not open a door. Then it will RE-lock the car. But once you open a door you have to lock the vehicle after your drive.

[@selamtegen7712]

How do I change the primary driver?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! You can add the new driver and when you see the box to check for make Primary, check that box and proceed with Profile setup. It will remove the current Primary driver and the new profile will be primary. Make sure to add the VIN to the new driver's app and setup all of the connected services. Hope this helps :) Thanks for tuning in!

You’re awesome thank you 🙏

Awww! Thank you so much!
