Default Default Screen mode

Anyone know if you can set what the default screen is? It appears right now that it always returns to the Nav screen all the time?

Ideally I'd like it to stay on the Radio screen as the default, can it be done??

You have to go into setup and change "Auto Screen Change" to off. I wish they would make that the default.

They finally have the entire Owner's manual as 1 complete PDF file on the Lexus site. Click here to get the manual. You can then do a search for anything.

True but that's just the owners manual. How about the 400 pages for the infotainment system. Down loaded both. But what guy do you know that reads directions.

I made the change in setup, but I'm not noticing a difference. I'd like the default screen to be the 3 section Home screen. When I change the setting and go to the Home screen and turn off the car and back on, it returns to Nav

My reading of the manual is that the "Auto Screen Change" option is just to tell the system whether to stay on the Audio and Climate pages after you visit them (Auto Screen Change = OFF), or switch back to the Navigation screen after 15 seconds of inactivity (Auto Screen Change = ON).

I think it only applies to these two screens (Audio and Climate) in relation to the Nav screen, and does not have any effect on the operation of the Home screen.

Changing it off did nothing for me as well. It still goes to the Navi after starting up the car.

Like you I have a three section Home screen, but after calling Lexus support I was told that if you don't pick a screen like say the radio screen then when the car is restarted it will default to the Nav screen. There is no fix for that, believe me I tried. Now when I get out of the car I just pick one of my screens and then when I get back in select the Home button. Yea it's a bad design.

Menu -> Setup -> General Settings -> Auto Screen Change (On/Off)

Don't forget to save the settings!
