Default window & cd malfunction

I just had my radiator replaced on my RX330 -2004 & when I got it back I noticed the time was off 2 days later I went to open the passenger side window & it would not go down (it goes down when controlled by passenger. the window lock is off
also the 6 disc player will only play 3 & I know there are others in player
WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED??

Seems like they pulled the battery which is reasonable for a radiator job. For the windows, you'll need to do a reset which relearns the window movement a search on this sub-forum will yield results. No idea on the radio, have you tried ejecting all 6 then inserting them again?

For the windows you need to lower each window half way, then back up to close & hold the button towards the up position for at least 1 second.
This procedure must the done for each window individually from the same door the window is located.
Otherwise you can not do this with the driver's door window switch for the other 3 windows.
The CD issue is odd, whenever I had to disconnect the battery with 6 CDs loaded, the CD Player would start at CD 1, Track 1.
Try to eject all, Mode should take you to the Radio, then insert 1 CD & check if it Plays as CD 1, Track 1, then load the rest.

Absolutely, it's actually the only way, went through this procedure several times as I had to disconnect the battery for DIY repairs.
Now I know this procedure by heart, if you have a sunroof, you need to hold the close Sunroof switch until it opens & closes completely on it's own.

Does it show the CD's are in the slots? I have a little disc symbol for each disc inserted. If not, are you sure they are in there? If so, then I feel like the radio is on its way out.

As a rule, Lexus stereos are not particularly fond of self burned CDs although I burn mine in .wav format & they play fine.
The issue could be the inferior quality of the CD itself.
Do you receive any error messages?, list of messages from the RX Manual in the photo:
