I can open rear lift door by hitting button next to rear camera.
I got it done the first week I brought my RX350 home.
It's in Lexus Personalized settings. Done only be dealer. <~ I watched them because I was the first person who ever asked for this and didn't take NO for an answer.
They will tell you it can't be done.
1) The manual tells you it can be set by dealer.
2) Lexus Personalized Settings(LPS) from lexus drivers website for the Pre 2010 rx350 tells you it can be done.
3) I have it working. Press button and door lifts automatically with power, and hit it again while in motion to go to manual (for tight spots). Hitting the button on the bottom of the door will reverse operation, not switch to manual. <~ spent a couple of mins going back and forth to figure that one out.
I spoke to 3 service advisors and 4 mechanics before the lead tech came out and took care of me.
Hopefully this helps you out and anyone else comeing across this.
If it comes down to it, I will make a video that you could bring to your dealer.
This should be the end all post to the auto rear door question.

Many thanks. Would you know if this works on the 450h? Either way, I'm going to haunt my dealer. Thanks for posting the pdf. That removes all doubt.

Do you have any instructions on how to set it up? What dealer did you go to?
Thanks a bunch.

I also asked my dealer to do this for me and they told me it can not be done, which I didnt believe but what can I do if they tell me that. He printed out the LPS for Canadian cars, and its not on the list. I always have to deal with "Canadian cars and US cars are different".

How did you do it? My dealer guarantee me that it cannot be done for 2010 model. I want to get mine done and prove to them that the knowledge on this site is much better than their dealer.
Please provide instructions. Thank you.

With the keys with you, you can UNLOCK the hatch by pressing the little button next to the hatch opener so this is not an issue.

True, the doors can be unlocked by pressing the round button on the tailgate to the right with keys in hand or pocket. Now after programming, to activate the power liftgate, I press the round button followed by the long button on the left. But I think using the remote is quicker and easier, one button push and it opens. And it doesn't require unlocking all the doors first.

I did the two long button push while detailing the 450h yesterday. The tailgate opened under power on the second push - first doors unlock, second the tailgate opens. I'd prefer not to unlock all the doors to open the tailgate like on the 2nd gen. But I'm glad I had it done for the times it might come in handy.

OK, I talked to the tech that programmed the tailgate for me today. When I asked how he did it, he smiled. He said it's a matter of figuring out the programming and basically tweaking it. It's supposedly simple to do but the person has to understand how Lexus programs their vehicles. Makes me wonder what else he could do.
Sorry I can't give more information.

I agree with above. I bought my 2010 RX 450h on 30 June.
I had to visit two separate dealers with the above attached PDF file before the mechanics would make the adjustment on the scope.
I found the PDF file on the official Lexus site.
There are approximately 16 settings that only the dealership tech can adjust. This includes the rear door auto opening by pressing the larger of the two buttons. Now, when I press the larger button, the rear door opens automatically.
Now, if I can only figure out if my car has the intelligent highbeam system like the owner's manual says, I'll be set (included with comfort package)! I'll create a new post for this issue.

The PDF document posted in an earlier message was for the 350. Is there a document specifically for the 450h? I couldn't find one. I'd hate to take that PDF to my dealer only to have him say "that's for the 350, not the 450."
There's another setting in there I'm interested in, and wondering if anyone has done this. There appears to be a setting that will open the rear door with just a "momentary" press of the button on the remote instead of having to hold the button down. Has anyone had that adjustment made?
