Look for the rectangular button on the right beside the heated steering wheel button. It brings a shade up in the rear windshield to shade the sun:



Also these rims and a panoramic roof, you will notice the sunroof is larger and rectangular since it covers the entire roof:

Just a note - I have the rear sunshade on my vehicle and it is not a UL but has the luxury package. I believe the sunshade was an extra-cost option on at least that trim level.

As cb109 questioned in post #11, there are possibly some differences between the different packages in the Cdn. vs US cars. It would be educational to compare the original sales brochures from Lexus Canada and Lexus US for same model years. I imagine this also possibly holds true for other markets (mid-East, Europe, Asia, etc.)

There are differences in policies as well: in Canada you can not get the maintenance history of a used Lexus as you can in the US...I pursued this through my dealer and escalated when they stone-walled me. Lexus Canada would not tell me either even though I pointed out that my car was a lease return and purchased from the original dealership, and therefore had always been the property of Toyota/Lexus finance and should not be considered a privacy issue. I also tried the Lexus Club (US) but no go there...no record available. If you buy privately then the original owner may, or may not, pass along their copies of maintenance records.

Same boat. I have Luxury package/nav and a sunshade. No heated steering wheel though. Stinking cold peasant hands.

Fortunately I've got the heated steering wheel too. Didn't need one in FL but happy to have it for the NC winters!

From the nearest I can figure out I did end up with the Luxury package but w/o the rear sunshade. BSM, PA & ACC would appear to be individual options for anything under the UL package here. I did get the heated steering wheel and wiper de-ice though: probably a good trade-off considering this screen shot from this March courtesy of the WeatherNetwork: As I recall I stayed home that day.
