Default Locking doors while car is running ?

Hello, new to the forum. 2015 RC350 F Sport. My question... Is there a way to start the vehicle and then lock the doors while it is running ? I see there are numerous ways to customize aspects of our cars, just haven't found a way to modify this aspect. Thank's

No customizable way.
You can roll down the window before you get out, get out and close the door, and then reach in and pull the window switch up to auto close it.
Or use the mechanical key to lock it.

it locks automatic as soon as you shift to either reverse or drive. Then unlock as soon as you shift it to park. I havent yet seen it locking automatically while running in park.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have had the car a week now and they haven't been able to get my enform app to work yet. I live in WI so the remote start feature is important to me. If they can't get the app to work pretty soon I am going to get my payment refunded and try to get an aftermarket system installed. I've never had a vehicle that you couldn't lock one way or the other while it was running to warm up.

Getting Enform setup could certainly be refined and made easier by lexus, but its not. When youre in your car, hit the sos button and talk to a lexus rep. Thats the easiest way to get everything setup.

Yes. but you have to use the physical key inside the key fob to lock the doors after getting out the car. just put the key in the driver-side keyhole and turn right to lock the doors.

So they finally have my app working. I can't say it is the most streamlined or most user friendly app, but it finally work's. Thanks for the suggestions.

I have a suggestion that may help you. If you press the lock button on your key three times in a row, and continue to hold down the button after the 3rd time the car will remote start. This is how I warm up my car every morning. Car remains locked while warming up. Let me know what you think!

Yes, I knew about the key fob's ability to start the car. Unfortunately it only works if you have an active subscription. On a side note my console shelf/organizer came in the mail today. Fits perfect and I think it add's the organization I desire. Nice rubber type inserts to keep things quiet and adds the RC350 detail.
