Question for those of you who have a 2010 or later LS that is paired with an iPhone 4S.
Can you switch albums (or playlists) when you are playing music via blue tooth? The manual shows pictures of Album Up and Down soft buttons on the navigation screen. However I don't have those soft buttons on my unit. I also have a 2012 GX 460 and have the same issue on that vehicle as well.

My 2012 LS does not show those buttons on the nav screen either. All I can do via Bluetooth is pause, play, go to the next song. No need to plug a cable in but not as much control (i.e., change albums) as the USB connection (not that USB is that great either because you can't go to anything directly) and have to page the list which is soooo slow)

Here is one I JUST learned. I have an '09. On the steering wheel keep pressing the DISP button to see the different options like tire pressure, and mpg. I accidentally pushed it, and had no clue what I did, until I read the owners manual. The tire pressure option was very cool, and it will even show you the tire pressure of the tire in the trunk. I know sounds simple, but I just learned this!!! Great thread! Thanks for staring it!!!

I saw a message on my dashboard today informing me the battery in my key fob needed to be replaced -- pretty cool. I checked my battery and it did need to be replaced. I like Lexus.

One another note, if they battery is low where you are not able to get the door to open with just the remote. Just pop the door lock cover off the door handle and use your key to get in the car then the fob key will still will work for you. Just place the key next to the start button with your foot on the brakes and a light will light up for you to start your car. Remember use this as your last resort.

Great thread. Having gone through all of the 5 pages of this thread, I realized it's getting harder to skim through the different posts if you're looking for tips and tricks only and not side discussions on these tips and tricks. Thus I suggest that any tip should be marked as such by a tag or a handle of some sort.
[TIP]
To set your seat & side mirrors settings to your favorite position every time you unlock your car, do the following steps in the order presented:
1. Get in the car and shut the door without starting the car
2. Adjust your seat and side mirrors to your favorite position
3. Save the seat settings in one of the seat memory buttons (1, 2 or 3)
4. Press the seat setting memory button you chose in step No. 2 and keep pressing until you're done with step no. 5
5. on your key fob, press the unlock button until you hear a beep
Now every time you change the seat position, get off the car and lock the doors, when you come back it'll automatically adjust the seat position to the setting you programmed and saved in step No. 3.
If you want to cancel the feature, do the above steps and press the LOCK button on the key fob in step No. 5 instead of the UNLOCK button.

I just realize the other day that the LS has one hell of a blind spot reverse camera, I was backing out of a parking spot and I saw a car on the monitor on my driver side but couldn't see it at all when I looked in the rear view mirrors or behind me. That was very impressing. I don't know if anyone else has notice this.
