Most useless features on the LS?

Ditto with (using) self close. I love it - I think it's way classy.
I do think the Eco button and Eco light are somewhat useless, but that's a tie-back to the high gas prices during the production of the car. But no one buys an LS and worries much aboot MPG.

I'm talking about if I have my audio screen on, then shift into reverse, it'll display my reverse camera. Then I shift to drive, it automatically displays NAV. I want it to stay on audio screen but no it's not doing that. Not sure if it's my car or this is happening on all 460's...

No, sadly I have that on already. That one just let the display not automatically move back to NAV after a bit of time.

Two useless features on my 13 LS that I hate the most.
Cannot lock/unlock from the outside while the car is running. I know it can be done with a key but it's not convenient at all.
Cannot make changes to navigation while the car is moving. I know the reason behind it but what if you have a passenger that can make changes while you're driving?

I can count with my fingers how many times the front seat is taken..... Besides, don't you think it is quite distracting when your passenger plays with the navigation screen?

A really useful feature would be to extend the soft close feature so that higher force / higher speed door closings were dampened. I have a couple Ford truck owner friends who slam the ---- out of every Lexus and Toyota door I own. But they're not alone. Only my sons don't slam the doors because they know I dislike it, and they're aware of the soft close feature. Other people don't even know about the feature and they slam the doors (especially the rear doors because in an L the doors are bigger / longer, so they slam easy). And the wife could care less about the soft-close feature, or what I like or dislike. She shuts doors with as much force as she cares to, which is generally excessive and annoying to me.
My proposed dampening should be effective for every door closings, just to slow the doors down (if need be). For example, the rate I close a door would not be effective. But my Ford owning friends would have their slams damped. I bought some rubber tubes of various diameter to place in the door jams to see if they would curb the slamming. I received them but never got around to experimenting.

Additional feature
A change to the soft close would be to have a closer button. I saw this on a Rolls Royce Phantom on the rear doors. Pretty sweet, but they are also suicide doors so it makes sense. Just appeals to my lazy and gadget side

Unless it's accidental, I never more than 'click' my doors, then let the motor take over.

Soft close doors trigger on mine all the time. The car is so tightly sealed the doors fail to shut when closed all the time and the motors pull them in
