I was wondering if there is a way to stop the warning beep when you need to change gear on upshifts in manual mode or when you want to change down gear and car won't let you, I understand this is in place to protect from over revving but gets a little annoying.
I have searched forum but haven't found anything.

 

Think your out of luck on this one. You would probably need the special computer the Lexus techs have at the stealership if it was able to be changed.

 

I actually like the beep. I hate it when it won't let me down shift and that beep is like saying, "Denied loser" but I like that there is some tone saying the shift was not done.....

 

I never hear mine over the exhaust and stereo

 

Gawd, how often do you hit high RPM's?

 

Since when is not blowing up your engine annoying?

Anyhow, the beep is there to say. There's no known way to disable it. The only time I hear mine is at WOT and at that point it's barely noticeable.

 

Thanks for your input I'm fully aware of what the beep is for!
Having come out of a RS5, C63 and M5 none of these had warning beeps. Simply change before hitting the limiter.

 

A lot of the test drivers like the beep as well. Frankly, it doesn't bother me.

 

As a beginner on a track I valued the beeping, as I tried to keep my focus on entry and exit points and the road and not on my RPM's.
