No wind noise of any significance at speeds up to 80 mph. Have not driven faster than the 80. RX is rock solid, silent, vibration free. Separately, first issue arose today . . I shall post under a different heading. p

 

I was wondering did you get the small credit card style key with your RX? So you dont have to carry any keys or FOB.

 

I was just gonna ask the same thing. I was on Lexus.com surfing through the RX vids, and they showed a fob in the SmartAccess vid, not the card.

Also read that the driver's seat retracts along with the steering column when turning the engine off. How far back does the seat move?

 

Nope. No card. Just two fobs. The seat moves back as far as you'd like it to, automatically. Adjustments are made during the initial set-up with the mouse-like controller. One has the ability to leave the seat stationary and have only the steering wheel lift and withdraw. Along with this, you can fix the driver's seat to move back different distances when you set this feature. FYI, it moves only when the seat belt is released, not when the engine is shut down. p

 

Hmm, I wonder if those cards didn't work well?

Thanks for the info on the retracting seats.

Did you opt for the remote start? Doesn't seem to be part of a grouped option package.

 

No . . No remote start.

 

Does your RX come with heads up display? If it does, how do you like it?

 

No. No "head up" display. Perfect vehicle thus far. . . only issue was the iPod connection, which I was able to correct by visiting the Apple store and purchasing the factory USB connector. Works perfectly now. Again, amazingly, no issues. Not a rattle . . . .fantastic car/SUV. Nice to have zero regrets. p

 

We got the remote start & I just ordered the wallet key. The remote start is great ... we had the remote start on our 07 Camry & the one on the RX350 work the same way. Press lock button on fob twice then hold down the third time for 2-3 seconds .... vehicle will start up. Cost + $425 installed @ dealer

Unlike aftermarket alarm remote starts ... the vehicle shuts off once you open the door to get in ... Toyota/Lexus safety feature I guess ... since the car is basically running & can be put in gear & driven away!


As far as the Wallet Key ... just came in today ... I need to bring hte car in to the dealer to have it programmed ... then I'll report back w/ an update.

For me personally ... I think I will like the wallet key ... I don't need the lock, unlock & power lift gate buttons ... I just want to have the key in my posession at all times ... since the RX is the wife's if i need to take it for a ride ... move it out of hte driveway ...etc .... no need to carry around the bulky fob all the time .... the wallet key is convenient & so thin ... not cumbersome to carry around all the time .... plus you won't feel like a jnaitor w/ tons of keys on your person! .... Cost = $270 programmed @ my dealer.
