A few noob questions about RX350...
Hey everyone!
I am new to this forum and i've got a few questions about my RX350 (2011) for which i couldn't find any answers!
First things first, can i watch/play video files from USB drive (any video file like wmv, mp4,...)?
And also, is it possible to make the front screen show DVDs as well (currently, only the two screens on the back show DVDs due to driver distraction, but i promise i wont watch when i am driving I just want my right passenger to be able to watch it)?
Thanks a lot!

The USB drives will only play audio and only Mp3 and WMA formats up to 320 kbps. As for the screens, you'll have to search the forum for that. I think there is a product that you can install that will open up the main screen for video playback while driving, as well as letting you enter a destination while driving.

Can you explain what's that product that you are talking about?

Alright! so my next question is, is it possible to play songs in random mode for the entire disc/USB drive?
For me, it only randomizes the songs that are in a folder but not the entire disc which is kinda disappointing...
Also, when switching off the car, it would ask if u want to close the windows before leaving the car. Is it possible to make it close the windows by default all the time? It's a bit hassling to go through the steps of closing the windows every single time and it would be awesome if the windows would close automatically after the car is locked!

I wish Lexus would have given us the option to choose whether or not we want it to be automatic though.
You may want to check out what VAIS has to offer.
But i am not sure if their products are compatible with Mark Levinson system?

No, I don't play soccer!
VAIS probably is compatible with ML. They come out with new products often so it's best to check with them directly. You can send a PM, they're a CL vendor.

Alright so apparently there are two wires that are responsible for deactivating some of the features while driving. One is connected to the speed sensor and the other one is connected to the gear.
Im taking my RX to the dealership this Sat to disconnect both of them. I will report back then

K so its done!
They disconnected both wires and now i can play video files while driving. I can also browse through the list of folders and songs (on my USB drive) while driving. This wasn't possible previously (i could only see a limited number of folders before).
Good thing is that the camera below the mirror still works fine and when you hit lower speeds, the screen automatically switches to that camera (even though the speed sensor for the DVD is now disconnected).
But my main concern is still intact is there a way to actually play video files from USB drive?
