You press the lock button three times and continue to hold it on the third time until you hear another beep... Then the car will start.

Can you post a pic with the new moldings?

Below are pictures. To make sure I have the right location for installation I have stopped by the dealer to measure the location from Premium version.
Each molding has two guiding clips (those do not hold molding in place, but help proper and quick installation - no need to measure distance from the bottom of the door). Those need to be cut off.
Rear door has additional small clip but don't know if it is used more for installation than anything else since is very soft and small. Cannot hold anything. I have just unclipped it
If I remember correctly the front molding had this small soft clip like the rear as well. In addition it had a big clip at front of the molding. That seems to be design to hold the molding in place. It would require drilling a big hole (maybe a dime size).
For the install I have cut out all guiding clips and removed the rest. It took 10 minutes to install all. Moldings feel very secured. The side profile finally looks sexy

NuShield
The Nav screen doesn't scratch easily as long as you don't bounce hard objects against the screen, etc... Just in case I have bought a screen protector. There are a bunch cheap one, but I had a very good luck with nushield. Since the NAV is new, they didn't have my size. They were great to create a custome size after I have sent them the measurements. They have uploaded to web site and now everyone can order. Here it is a link to the custom web site.

Just choose Lexus and you should see GX460 - 10
Well worth the $19
I took your advice and ordered a Shield for my GX 460 from NuShield.
I received the shield, but it is too big.
Hopefully, they will send me the correct one.

184 x 109 DayVue for Lexus GX-460 -2010 R17000036800000
If it's 184mm x 109mm, then that is definitely too big. It would overlap with the trim on the sides of the NAV screen.
Maybe they saved the wrong measurements.
Can you measure the film you received, or post a pic showing how the film extends over the edge of the screen?

I've already written to them and told them about it being too big and asked them to send me the correct one.
