Default Rx300 secrets

Inspired by the GX section's thread.

Has anyone found any secret spots or cool things in their RX??

Not really a secret since a lot of Lexus models do this, but if someone is new to Lexus they may find this feature interesting.

If you hold down the unlock button on the remote, it will open all windows including sunroof.

If you insert the key into either driver's or passenger side door and hold in the LOCK position, it will close all the windows.

Here's something that I discovered by accident

I was showing off the RX when it was new and was bragging about how all 4 power widows have AUTO Up/Down with PINCH Protection. For example, if a hand or a childs or animal/pets head were in the window that is being closed in the AUTO Up mode, that the window sensor would detect an object in the area and the window would STOP and even OPEN a bit as not to crush the object in it's way.

Well, the person that I was showing(as I had my own hand in the way of the window traveling UP), this person held the power widow button(instead of allowing the AUTO Up function to operate the window), therefore over riding the AUTO MODE completly and...you guessed it! My hand got cought in the window almost crushing it.

Don't try this at home. I am a professional Fool!

I like two cubbys for hiding stuff.
The one on the dash by the driver's left knee.
And the one under the mat to the left of the spare.
I have put suff in those spots and forgot I did.

Actually, I knew about the dash spot, that's where I put my coins lol. Where do you put your coins?

Is the second spot in the trunk?
