I have the Nav
Who me...there are 2 types of camera displays available in the RX - if you do not buy navigation and want only the camera display you get a small picture (about 3 inches square) in the rearview mirror, otherwise its a 7" screen on the navigation display. The Mark Levinson sound system is available on the new RX but as I understand not many USA dealers will order it for stock vehicles. I had it in my 2008 and have it in my 2013 and love it! I insisted on having the Blind Spot Monitoring system so I had to wait 3 months because it was not going to be available until August 2012!

Personally, i'd go with a jeep before considering a Ford.
Obviously, the Jeep will give me more off road capability vs another CUV ( Edge).

Lexus gave me a Ford Edge loaner while my 2011 RX was in for a few odds and ends concerns, none of which were serious. I found the Edge to have a nice dashboard and controls layout, excellent handling and nice overall, but did not have the fit and finish of our Lexus. I recommend you try one and decide for yourself. Just curious, what don't you like about your RX that has you considering an Edge? Fuel economy? Just a guess.

Only sedans seem to get better fuel economy than the SUV/Crossover's that I like. And although I love sedans, I will never be that low again. I like the height. I hope I never ride in a big pickup, as I would love that height
Usually every 2 years I get some sort of itch to look at cars. And the Ford kind of snuck up on me. But those I had ridden in (never the 2014 edge) seemed very smooth and quiet. (I am not all that far from Social Security
)

There is pretty much nothing that I do not like about the Lexus. I sometimes think it has a bit too much stiffness, other times I do not. Just today I noticed that it felt nice and smooth. And the only thing different was that the roads were cold. It had been about 32 or lower for 2 days or so. I should also say, the roads here suck pretty bad.

2012 Camera Gridlines disappeared.
have a 2012 RX 350 and the Dynamic gridlines just disappeared. The dealer is checiking but originally said that the 2012 doesn't have gridlines.n
All of the backup camera systems I have seen (which are in Chevys) have superimposed guidelines on the camera view to help align the vehicle into the proper spot between the parking lot markings. I road tested a 2014 RX350 with Nav system (with backup camera) the other day and it did not have these guidelines. It just showed a nice rear view picture but offered no assistanace in aiming or aligning the vehicle when backing into the parking spot.
Is it just possible the guidelines were turned off in the Nav menu somehow?
On the other brand cars, the guidelines actaully curve as the sterring wheel is turned -so you can use those line to perfectly back into a space.

It would be a big oversight IMO if Lexus didn't build this guideance feature into their backup system.
