Default RAND + steering wheel button = no rand?

I'm trying to use my steering wheel controls to change to random tracks on my disc, but all it does is go to the next track... is there a way to change this?

First thing that has bothered me since I got the car. I can't believe how "stupid" the Random button can be. The most unintelligent thing in quite a advanced car.

it's the same random button/feature throughout the entire Lexus lineup--what more are you looking for?

just press rand twice... this will first turn off the random feature, and then re-enable it... once its re-enabled, it will jump to a random track...

You guys also realize that if you are listening to an mp3 cd and press the rand button, it will only randomize your current directory... BUT if you HOLD the rand button down, it will enable random play for the entire disc.

That's good to know, I'll have to go try that.

this is by far the biggest quam i have with this vehicle. it really irritates me that such a simple programming function like this could be overlooked.

not to mention that none of our "text info" scrolls along the display.

I did not know that. I was just about to post saying it can't random the whole mp3 disc, but nevermind. Thanks!
