i made the mistake of running the rx thru a car wash this morning with out turning off the park assist... needless to say, i will remember to turn it off next time... :P

This thread discusses that and talks about the Carista setting to avoid the car wash problem.

I took our RX350 through the car wash this morning, car in neutral, no park assist beeping.

Definitely going to do that next time....

I had to change the Activate parking sensors in neutral (N) from Yes to No. I also changed the Mute parking sensor when stationary for more than 3 sec. from No to Yes to reduce beeping in drive throughs.

I haven't ran mine through a car wash yet - didn't even consider turning off the park assist! Great heads up, thanks.

What happens if one does not turn it off when going thru a car wash? I never turn mine off???

Tom558

It just beeps a lot as the RX moves through the wash.

I have an OBDII reader but don't leave it in as it's a battery drain. I just downloaded the app and will plug the reader in soon and try it out. Do you need the paid version to make changes?

Nice options! Now, if they only made the Carista app for iOS. Why do you suppose they don't? Actually, I don't have an issue with turning off the sensors occasionally (although I do forget to turn them back on, sometimes). My issue is when they get covered in ice and start screaming at me. Scares the %$@& outta me!

Yes. I think it is $20.00 now. Cheaper than a trip to the dealer.

I think an iPhone version is in the works.

great app imho, even though no live data, still worth than stealership.

Wow... 2015 and already sending through car wash. I get the shivering feeling when I see a new car esp. black going through these grinders. If traditional wash is too time consuming, you should look into no rinse wash. It's a great alternative way to wash and keep your car in great condition, esp. during the winter.

Nothing but hand wash year round here in Florida on my Obsidian F Sport.
