How to disable the standard open windows with electric key setting on your LS460. Disabling this standard setting could be beneficial because it will prevent you from accidentally opening your windows, which could result in weather damage or theft.

Save yourself a trip to the dealer by using Carista, a mobile app that lets you personalize your Lexus and perform advanced diagnostics. It is available for Android and has just been released for iOS users!

All you need is a smartphone and an ELM327-compatible Bluetooth OBD adapter (for Android), or an ELM327-compatible WiFi adapter (for iOS). These adapters are available for about $10-$30 on websites like Amazon.com


Android Users:

1. Plug the Bluetooth OBD2 adapter into your vehicle.
2. Turn on the ignition (to the point where all the dash lights light up), but don't start the engine.
3. Open Carista on your Android device and click on “CUSTOMIZE” on the main screen. Carista will automatically connect to your OBD2 adapter via Bluetooth.
4. If this is the first time you're connecting to this Bluetooth device, it may ask you for a PIN (try 1234 or 0000), or for a confirmation that you want to connect.
5. Give Carista a second to determine which settings are available for your vehicle. Once you see the available categories, select "Doors/Windows/Remote"
6. Select “Open windows and sunroof via long-press on remote”
7. Select “OFF” then press SAVE.
8. If this is the first time you're changing a setting, the app will launch the Google Play in-app billing screens and will guide you to purchasing the Pro Package (which is required for changing settings; it's a one-time purchase and then you can change as many settings as you like, as many times as you like). The Pro Package also gives you access to advanced diagnostics of all Lexus ECUs, not just the basic engine diagnostics.
9. The new setting is now applied to your vehicle! You can change this setting at any time.

iOS users:

1. Plug in the WiFi OBD2 adapter and connect your iOS device to the adapter’s WiFi.
2. Turn on the ignition (to the point where all the dash lights light up), but don't start the engine.
3. Open Carista on your iOS device and click “CUSTOMIZE” on the main screen.
4. Give Carista a second to determine which settings are available for your vehicle. Once you see the available categories, select "Doors/Windows/Remote"
5. Select “Open windows and sunroof via long-press on remote”
6. Select “OFF” then press SAVE.
7. If this is the first time you're changing a setting, the app will launch the App Store in-app billing screens which will guide you to purchasing the Pro Package (which is required for changing settings; it's a one-time purchase and then you can change as many settings as you like, as many times as you like). The Pro Package also gives you access to advanced diagnostics of all Lexus ECUs, not just the basic engine diagnostics.
8. Simply disconnect from the adapter’s WiFi to purchase the Pro Package, if you do not already have it. Once you have purchased it, reconnect to the adapter’s WiFi. Click SAVE again.
9. The new setting is now applied to your vehicle! You can change this setting at any time.

I have your software and never checked (just being lazy, I guess), but is there a setting to close the windows with the fob?

By the way, I like your app, in that I don't have to go to the dealer to have a setting changed.

Carista

I'm glad that you like the app! We do have a close windows with fob setting, but that functionality is not available on most US Lexus models. You should connect your car to Carista to see if the setting is available on your particular model

Thanks! I Appreciate your help!

I'll check it out today.

If you click and hold the lock button that is built into the door handle the windows will roll up if enabled.
