Also HERE for the GS 350. Type 'Lane Change' (in 'Search this manual'), or go to Page 756 (which is Page 783 in the manual). Customization (8.2) setting for 'Turn Signal Lever'.

Hope this helps!

Pretty sad when the customer knowledge outgrows the dealerships..

However, this just goes to show the power of the forum in action.. should be fun proving them wrong!!

Let us know what your dealer said to you after letting them know...

Same here. dealer had my car for over an hour ago, hooked up to a computer and all. Finally said, it cant be done.

Sat in the parking lot for 15 minutes waiting for court and got it done. Would have been 5 minutes, but i rushed thru the instructions.

To clarify, it was another member that was told by a dealer this cant be done.

I personally used the instructions from the forums and did this myself as can be seen from my original post.

Worked like a charm!

Anybody know how to sync the volume so that it doesn't work independently based on the audio source? I hate the fact that it remembers the last volume setting for each individual source. For example, when I'm scrolling through my presets, the SAT will be at a different volume than my FM based on my last setting. I don't really see the point of this feature and would like to sync all the source. Thanks.

Man I love my custom images at startup and when I turn the display off. Naked ladies, guilty. They are artistic though, nothing that belongs in Hustler.

Had my mom ride with me once, forgot I had the screen set to off, so she got an eyeful by accident. It was pretty funny. She said, "What is that", and I said, "naked lady", all matter-of-fact. I mean it kinda explains itself.

I'm trying to figure that out too - no idea yet.

This is a tad bit annoying, I found as a sort of temporary fix you can go through all your sources and simply set them manually to the same volume, then it recalls when you switch back and forth between sources. But if you change one source on the fly then switch sources your not in sync anymore so this is just a temporary fix. I find I change the volume quite often anyways as driving conditions (speed, road noise, open moonroof, open windows, conversations with passengers, etc.) and as my own moods and music genres change.

The flip side is if different sources require different volume settings to maintain the actual level you are set to go! For example it seems satellite radio doesnt need as much volume as my usb with normalized mp3's for some reason. So maybe there is no perfect balance that works continuously in this regard. I admit, I change the volume an awful lot while driving, even when using the same source.

Same goes for the sound adjustments of bass, mid, and treble, and also the balance/fade settings also are source dependent. At least these are not changed as often as the volume though.

I guess since volume is such a dynamic, this is exactly we have them volume buttons so handy right on the steering wheel, and I think perhaps were just getting spoiled by all this luxury at this point!

Good job Lexus

Again mine is a 2015, but I would think your manual would outline your MY options in the same way.

Believe it or not.. I read the entire manual, customized settings were on page 561!!
Very good for you! I think more owners should do that.

I'll confirm that it's definitely for 2015 models only. 13-14' will need to go to the dealership to change this.

The point is that different audio sources have got different audio input levels. I like that function.
