Cool! I'll give it a shot tomorrow!! Thank you BC!!!

Is there a way to erase the programmed settings once it's done?

You are very welcome. Hope it helps. Please let us know... Thanks!

To cancel the settings associated with a Smart Key - Turn the engine switch to Ignition ON mode. [Instead of pressing the recalled button (1, 2 or 3) to program a Smart Key] Press the 'SET' button, and press and hold the door lock switch (either lock or unlock) until the buzzer sounds twice to cancel the settings associated with a Smart Key.

ItzFilyO - Did you program your Smart Key(s) by pressing/holding the recalled [seat] button(s) and pressing/holding the door lock switch (either lock or unlock) until the buzzer sounds?

Not yet, I keep forgetting.

I did mine...but it may have already been done. Dunno. I just know it buzzed. I pressed/held Seat# 1 and pressed/held the door lock switch until it buzzed. Then, I did both Seat#2 and then Seat #3 the same way. My other Smart Key is brand new, still in the little baggy it came in, and stored in my safe key lockbox since I'm the only driver of the GS 350.

So how does it work now BC?

I got mine to buzz as well (as if it is programmed) . But if I hit preset #3 which is a whacked setup. Leave the car, lock it and then use the FOB to open, the seat seating don't change ?

Something isn't set correctly or working properly for me ? Wonder if it has something to do with the 3rd party remote start the Lexus Dealer installed as it has it's own FOB as well. Left the 3rd party FOB in the house last time I programmed Lexus FOB #1, but still no love

As I said, my Smart Key may have already been set (programmed using the door switch), so nothing changed after I set it using the door switch. But, I checked just to make sure that the settings worked as before...and all three of my seat/steering wheel positions were the same as I had them before. I have three different seat/steering wheel positions (1, 2 & 3) memorized for different driving situations - Normal, Trip Comfort & Aggressive.

I don't understand. If you hit #3 seat setting and then get out and lock the car...and then come back with the same key fob the seat setting should not change. Why should it? Don't you want the seat to remain as you last left it?

ItzFilyO

Try this: Mess with ur seat setting but don't save it, get out and get back in and restart the car, see if it goes back to ur setting or remain messed up. It should go back to ur setting.

I figured if I just move the seat after programming the FOB to setting #1 and the FOB is programmed for setting #1 then the seat should move to setting #1 when that FOB is used to unlock the car? That's how my Acura works.

I'll try just moving the seat as ItzFilyo suggests, instead of hitting a different preset.

ItzFilyO

Alright fellas, u know a video is worth a zillion words, so I made one.

bclexus

Well done!

Thanks ItzFilyo, did everything like you did except I did not leave the car; clue!. BTW that's a quiet ride you have there, sure drowned out the traffic noise!

In any case the seat doesn't move until you grab the door handle! I was expecting to see it move once I unlocked the car with the FOB.
In which case it doesn't matter if you used a preset or just changed the setting, the seat moves to the correct position!

Itz.


It also memorizes the ac and the stereo. One of my fobs was programed with the radio off the other one with it on SAT.

Nice Apple watch too.

Well just got off the phone with the dealership (live 4 hours away) concerning the sliding back of driver's seat setting and seat memory position. They just confirmed that if I choose the slide back option in the Nav settings, my seat will not slide back to my registered position when unlocking of driver's door. I will have to press my registered setting to get driver's seat back to my position from the slide back position. Not a big thing but like originally posted, I love both. So I will forego the slide back option.
