if you have nav, there's another method to access service menu that doesn't involve lights:

start the engine
wait until map is displayed
press the DISP button on mouse, contrast/brightness menu should appear
from the display screen, point/click the upper-left of screen, then lower-left, upper-left, lower-left, upper-left, lower-left

Good tip! I was waiting for Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start (for 2 players)

Nintendo Contra Reference - JIC no one got the reference.

that is pretty much the same steps to get the the menu in 2004

*All buttons should have luminance for easy spotting at night.
*More tilt angle on the side mirrors.
*Rear passenger power outlet.
*All lights in LED.
*TPMS display of each tire (for no nav option)

Ditto on the led lights under the buttons. I love my car and do not have the 1st regret but not having lights under that top row of buttons just baffles me. I bet the next GEN in probably about two more years (when I'll be ready) has them.

That will be four years and about 60 thousand miles for me.

Time for a new toy. The biggest option I want next time that I don't have now will be the HUD.

I hope the HID's are still available, I love mine.

Ditto for me Jim!

rx should have a center console lid that opens a minimum of 90 degrees

filled w/ frustration every time i open the lid

would be interesting to hear the logic as to why it was designed the way it is

Cruiter

Is it possible something is missing here ??? I copied and printed this, tried it several times using the enter button, no joy, then the display button, no joy. I'd like it to work but ...

jskennedy

hmm, just tried it on my rx & couldn't get it to work either

the process did work for me once in the past

see if i've missed something below

I got this to work in mine, its pretty kool

No roof rails at all should be standard. Roof rails with cross beams should be an option.

Thigh extenders should be standard on ALL RX's.

Roof rails were an option on AWD 1st gen RXs so Lexus would be going backwards to remove them again, LOL!

rxsuperman

Similiar to rain sensing wipers, RX should also have rain sensing headlights....

OK, I wasn't going to broadcast this but here it goes. I too was frustrated with the lid so I modified it to open as far as possible without hitting the vents in the back. I will post pics of the difference when I can. I do not recommend this mod for just anyone, Lexus made 3 different stops on the lid, each time I removed one another would surface. One of the stops you have to 'saw off' becomes visible when opening the lid all the way. All in all I can deal with it and enjoy the greater access to the console.

Sunday I am going to work on lighting the homelink buttons and will take pics of the lid then.

PS. 90 degrees can't be achieved due to the lid not sliding back far enough to clear the rear vents.

I guess I can consider myself lucky since I've been able to enter in destinations, etc. while moving ever since I bought the RX. Maybe the tech's set it up that way?
