Question Just got my car
Does the 2013 Lexus RX350 have a cigarette lighter? I can't find it? What I am really looking for is a place to plug in something that has a plug that gets it's power from a cigarette lighter thing.
Thanks!

open center console; open cap, plug in; there is room for cord to come out and lid to still close!!
It does NOT power when ignition is off!

In addition to under the console there should be one under the shift in that area where my wife keeps her handbag in our 2011 Rx.

Lexus assumed you are non-smoker - there is no ashtray, and no place to put one.

PS
I just realized that there is at least ONE good thing about smoking cigarettes - it helps US economy...

". . . there is no ashtray, and no place to put one."
But the windows still roll down, don't they?

NO, it does not help the economy; we are subsidizing former tobacco growers with millions of dollars NOT to grow tobacco, but they can still live well without contributing to lung cancer!!!

Ohio is a non-smoking state. Didn't you get the memo last time we voted?

Keep your windows shut and breath that nastiness. If it's so good, why not keep breathing it?

Pet peeve when it's a nice day out and some smoker pulls up and that foulness blows in my car.

So happy they are getting nailed with a heath insurance penalty that cannot be subsidized
