Brilliant! You nailed it, Steve. The RTI wasn't about a new, better interface to refresh the old, tired touchscreen. It was purposely designed to be a malfunction in progress just so we would all switch to voice control! How stupid of me to miss this clever "nudge" by the big brains in Japan. Oh, wait a minute. How does that fix the seat heaters hidden behind the cup holder lid in your unit? Is there a voice command that helps you juggle a drink, the steering wheel, the cup holder lid, and the seat heater control? How would you phrase that exactly?

I think you're overthinking this. If you dislike the RTI so much, you could have always given your $90,000 to someone else. You didn't do that though, you gave it to Lexus for the 2013 LS460...with the remote touch interface. My comment about the voice control is not meant to excuse the RTI (which I don't find objectionable), it was simply a comment as to how much better the voice control is in this car vs my older ones. I would use the voice control over the touchscreen as well.

Nothings perfect, yeah the heat/cool buttons behind the cupholders are a little annoying. They're however only annoying when I want to use the seat heater and am using the cupholder, which isn't all that often. No big deal IMHO.

The mouse navigation sucks, go for the touch screen
