What's the most annoying setting on your GS?
I assume everyone here is familiar with the concept of "Lexus Personalized Settings" (LPS) - configuration settings of your car's electronics that the dealer can change. Some of them can also be changed via the nav if your car has it. Here's the official list of configurable settings for a 2013 GS350: http://www.lexus.com/pdf/service/GS_with_nav_LPS.pdf
What's the most annoying default value for those settings? Something you would DEFINITELY want changed?
By the way, there are a bunch more settings that these cars support, that are not included in that PDF. They can be changed with our new app for Android: Carista OBD2.

When you get out of the car and lock it, the lights dont turn off til you press the remote lock button again, or theyll just turn off after a minute or whatever. Camrys have the same feature
BMW's have it that the lights turn off once you open the door, somebody on here said that his dealer customized his car for him just like, so the lights turn off right when he opens the door. Def going to get that done at my next service meeting

Just out of curiosity, did your dealer charge you for this, and how much? Sometimes they agree to do it for free (if they're doing some other service on your car), but most often they don't.
I would really love it if some day we can produce our own hardware with a reliable Bluetooth communication and a reliable chip that always connects to the car from the first time. But until then, these Chinese devices will have to do. And as I said, in most cases they do work fine.

I wish there was more control on the seat easy exit option. I really like to have it on except when I have a passenger behind me. I always forget and end up cramping the rear seat passenger to when getting out. I can disable it through options but it is a cumbersome process. I wish there was an easy on-off for it.

Btw, we're adding the setting for easy exit movement (OFF/SHORT/LONG) to the next version of Carista. Beta version coming soon to a device near you

For those looking for OBD II hardware to work with the Carista app, I decided to try the BAFX bluetooth scan tool. It works flawlessly on my GS and the Carista App. Works with the Torque app as well for those interested in that type of "Live" performance monitoring. $24 bucks on Amazon and qualifies for Prime. Here is the link...

Yup, useful

Nope, no charge but I had a warranty repair that was scheduled concurrently. I printed and filled out the settings form (click on pdf link below), gave to my service adviser and moved the process forward.
