Default Sticky for tricks and cool things

So as a transfer from the 2nd Gen forum to the 4th Gen. And having my car oooooh little over 45 days I'm wondering have we been gypped. Are there any cool things this car can do that "is not in the manual" or "only told at dealer". I.e. for 2nd Gen you hold the unlock button on key and all windows open up (stuff like this). I know there was a sticky for that in the other forum but is there any things like that on this one outside of put gas in and drive fast lol.

Just asking

There's a thread around here somewhere, or a couple threads, that go into this a little. I know I can hold down the door unlock button on my remote to have the windows all open and the sunroof open as well.

There's also a hidden menu that will come on the navi display after a sequence of steps you have to do in the car.

I don't have those bookmarked or subscribed, sorry.

You need to have the dealer set it up for you as it is a dealer customization. I got mines to roll down with the key fob and roll up too using the key and turning it in the keyhole.

For the dealer options on changing settings like the window roll down, is there a write up on how for us to do it. I've seen one for blinkers but would like to do the windows.

Not a trick but I didn't know until recently that there is an auxiliary storage compartment just to the left of the steering wheel that opens by pushing the small button in.

I have no idea what to do with it though.

Mine holds my EXPass for toll roads perfectly. I'm not on toll roads a lot any more, so I took it off the windshield and store it until I need it.

I believe that one can only be set up by a Lexus dealer with his Lexus magic wand.

i suggest all these "tricks" be itemized and stick them on the 2nd post. it will be alot easier to go through

mine is able to roll down all window plus sunroof when holding down the unlock button but did not know we they will be wind up by turning the key. will try it out later today. thanks!

just tried mine, to roll up the widow and close the sunroof, just need to press on hold the lock on the key fob. key turning the keyhole don't work. it only lock the 4 doors.
