What feature would you like to have as standard equipment on all RX models?

In Canada the cross bars come with the Ultra Premium 2 package as a standard item. I agree they should come with all the Rx's as a standard item.

A sunglass holder would be great. Had one in my 2004 RX, in my 2012 they put the SOS button in its place. Now if I choose not to maintain the subscription for the SOS system it's wasted space. Also, in my 2004 the center console slid back so I had a place for my purse. Fortunately, I'm usually the only passenger in my car, so my purse gets to rest in my front passenger seat.

2010 was probably the last year they had the sunglass holder, it was a nice touch because my sunglasses didn't get scratched up. Not sure if they did the SOS in the 2011's or not.

With the car turned off, place the stem mounted light switch in "DRL Off"
With your foot off of the brake, push the "Start" button once.
Press and hold down the "Menu" button (located by the joy stick)
Now rotate the light switch fully up to on and back to "DRL Off" three times.
Your nav screen will change to the service menu.
Play with it at your own risk.
Turning the car off will dismiss the service menu.
A 12 volt battery charge is displayed in one of the service screens.

No, I don't play soccer!
Lexus Enform/Safety Connect was introduced in August 2009 so about half a model years' worth of '10s came with the sunglass holder.
Like Ultra Premium package....

Perhaps another angle for no cross-bars: the base price of the car is lower and not many people use it? IMO, the cargo cover should be optional too, I never use mine but am sure it was included in the price.
I would trade some included options like the cover and rails for panoramic sunroof

Use with caution advised
This is good info and it works but there is always a but ...
It should be used with clear thought as to what you want to change, and if you have the HID's, there is a caution in the manual that repeatedly turning them off and on can shorten their life expectancy. Moving from DRL's off to top position three times turns them on and off repeatedly. They are pretty expensive to replace however under normal use they should/could last a lifetime.
Just be aware

It's actually a service menu.

Although having 12 volt voltage level somewhere convenient would be nice, but not essential.

Led's would not suffer from the same issue. What burns out HID's is that fact the ballast puts out 25,000 volts to start up the bulbs. It is like starting your car everyday and keeping your foot to the floor and holding it there for a while.
