Is there anyway to change the customizable features on a RX without the dealer?

I was hoping there was some possibility to do it without. I hate to pay the dealer to make a change.

I'm not sure about the light control options. But for unlock features the owners manual and posts on this forum should help you out.
Good luck

I'm pretty sure the lock options are dealer only. I had mine set to one click unlocks all the doors and had the one touch on the sun roof set (that is owner set) the dealer didn't charge me for it but I was having some other stuff done as well.

I wish it wasn't a trip to the dealer to to make changes. Kinda a hassle.

I know that when I had changed the battery in my car I had to re-program all of the unlock, window down options and the sunroof. I hope this is what you want if not a dealer visit will be required

Check your owner's manual. You can change some of the door lock options yourself (like auto lock/unlock based on if you're in park or drive) Most other options need the dealer.

One option that I just recently found can be shut off is that extra wipe by the wipers after a wash....that extra cycle that just smears your just cleaned glass can be disabled.

Is the wiper extra shutoff only able to be done at the dealer? and if not, how do you do it!!??

Carver, I had my unlock setting changed to 1 click as well. I really didnt like the two click to unlock thing. OP what kind of light settings were you looking to change?

Only at the dealer as far as I can tell.
