Default Reduce Number of Radio Preset Pages

I’m in a RX350 loaner and find the number of radio preset pages annoying.

I don’t need all 6 pages (of 6 presets) and I’m able to reduce to 2 pages in my IS350.

Any way to reduce the number of preset pages in the RX350?

Thanks!

Nope. I guess because they have a different engineering team work on every vehicle, some of those really good ideas they come up with for one model don't always translate to the next.

Crazy they make us live with 6 pages!

There HAS to be a way.

I think you can make each page the same or have 3 sets of two pages that are all the same. Give that a try and see if it works.

And there would be complaints if Lexus offered too few pages. Great suggestion, Tom.

Thought has crossed my mind, but annoying, but just need to do it.

I'm asking if there's a way to reduce the number of pages.

On the 2014 IS you can increase and decrease same.

Perhaps this is a job a Lexus Technology Specialist could answer.

On a Gen 7 system (which is in the new RX), you get 36. No way to change that. On Gen 8 systems (new IS, GX, CT) you can adjust from 6-36 increments of 6 (6,12,18 etc.). Like mentioned, you can repeat pages. Would probably be the easiest way especially if using the steering wheel controls to scroll through the presets.

Any way to save whole pages, so you don't have to save every station over?

If you want two banks of presets, set 1, 3, 5 the same and 2, 4, 6 the same. That way you are never more than one bank away from the alternate bank as you scroll. If you want three banks, set 1 and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6 the same, so you have two sets of three banks in the same order.
