pairing remote keys with memory seats
Just purchased from a dealer a used 2015 RX 350.
How is it possible to pair my two keys with the seat L1, L2, etc selections?
I was looking through the manual but could not find anything, only dealer can do it?

Don't know if it can be done, and then there is the case where you pick up someone else's fob because yours is inconveniently too far away. When my wife and I swap out, we simply press L1 or L2 for one another as we exit the vehicle. Personally, I don't need my car to know that I'm the one getting in... I'm happy enough with just being able to press the one memory button for my settings and have it all move into position with no further effort on my part. Perhaps I just have low expectations.

Wow. Never heard that as an option. Interesting. It might also be an option in the Carista app??
Edit... Carista does not seem to include customizing the L1 L2 positions for my 2010... maybe it is an option for some of the newer year models.
Keep us posted on your findings and success.

Yes, easy to do and a real "marriage saver"!
A couple of hints for the process:
Be sure to only have one fob inside the vehicle at a time when
setting up a fob to trigger the memory setting. If both are inside it
will just chime until you release the unlock button.
If the memorized position is for an extremely petite person you
may find that the "convenience" of having the seat move to the
driving setting is really not very convenient because you can
not get in! Delete the set up by holding "Set" when pressing unlock.
Some models need a slightly different technique, LS and LX require
that you turn the ignition off during the set up... Older ES's had you
pressing the unlock on the fob not the door mounted button while
holding the memory button.
2014 and newer Lexi can have the outside rearview mirror "reversing" position
modified by selecting each mirror one at a time - while you are in reverse. This setting
is NOT stored in the individual memories but is how All Drivers will see when
in reverse. Note: the backing position is only going to occur when the mirror
position selector is in either "R" or "L". Place the selector in the middle to
defeat the feature when backing Up a driveway or Under something low.

I finally solved the problem - found the correct procedure on page 77 of my owner's manual.
Contrary to the above video during the programming I don't press anything on my FOB - instead I have to press lock/unlock button on my door and the correct FOB just has to be inside the car.

ThumperPup, the fobs have a black leather sleeve or cover, one comes with
a black lanyard while the other is gray to help differentiate the two.

Our expectations are a bit higher but our first vehicle with memory preset tied to keys requires less intervention. The RX 450h is our second vehicle with such functionality.
