It's pretty cool.I envy those guys with this feature. I don't think our IS's have this right ?
mine does.... even my is300 did this.

press lock a second time and it turns off the lights.

Definitely love just touching the back of the door, i usually grasp the handle and wave my thumb gently across the button (without pressing it), feels very intuitive and natural,

As to this option, I hadn't looked into it but definitely nice to know it's there if I settle down and make it a family car. Right...

I think it's to keep you from locking your keys in the car, you can just lock them manually though. Be careful though, it's illegal to idle in the WaWa (or any) parking lot in NJ now

Yeah it makes it impossible for you to lock your keys in your car this way.

You can still lock it with the button on the fob, just not with the button on the door.

That said, idling is terrible for a car engine...the best way, by far, to warm up a car is to drive it.

Me too. I didn't like the headlight being on even after I lock the vehicle. Made me worry that I forgot to turned it off. And My home and work parking area is all well lit. So no headlight delay for me. Turned it off at dealership.

Well dang... I guess I must be doing something wrong.

For like the past week or so, my car has not been unlocking when I walk up to the door handle. I figured I must have accidentally changed something. Today, I see this thread and figure let me go try it out. My car, btw is a 2012 iS350.

First, I pressed the lock button, held it, then pressed the unlock button for about 5 seconds. I heard 3 sets of 2 beeps. Then I tried the door handle and nothing.

So, I tried it again. This time, I pressed both lock and unlock at the same time and held them for about 5 seconds. I heard 2 sets of 2 beeps. Then, tried the door handle and nothing.

Not sure what the deal is. Why does this not work for me?

ANy ideas on this guys? I tried it again today holding the lock and unlock buttons together for 5 seconds or so until the 3 sets of double beeps. Still nothing. I tried this with doors locked and with doors unlocked. No difference.

Does this not work on 2012 isX50?
