I 'discovered' how song tagging works. When I would tag a song, it would say 'storing information', but I had no idea where it stored it. I saw a youtube video on how it works: Hook up an ipod (I have a 1st gen touch) to the USB port in the car, then hook the ipod to your computer & open itunes. In the playlist's, there should be one called 'tagged' that has your list. Tagging only works with stations that broadcast in HD (most are).

I used my windshield wipers for the first time today. They seemed noisier than than the previous model.
Hubby said its because its this first time. I'm not convinced, I drove in the rain for about an hour and they were still annoying me.
Anyone else notice this?

I noticed they were loud the first time I used them as well, but I do think it gets quieter over time...

Default Rx 2017

I am certain Lexus is getting feedback from dealers and customers about opportunities to improve the 2016 RX. I wonder if waiting until the 2017 is released would be advisable?

Your thoughts.

I`d wait for the 2021 version, as it`ll be the best one to get with that mindset. :eek2

Lexus does incremental changes with every year. So best bet is to enjoy now then later

This one I have not figured out yet...

When I select Menu or Radio or Media, after sometime it switches back to Map on the split display or even full display. When I am not using navigation (for daily commute for example), I would prefer to have more info/album art, etc displayed.

I searched through the settings, but couldn't find any obvious thing to tweak/select. Any insight would be be helpful.

This is on a 4GS so YMMV:
Setup -> General -> Auto screen change (set to off)

Thanks Yardie, will try it out when I get back into the car. FYI, I searched the online Owners manual but can't find "Auto screen" or "screen change" string

Default Contact Pictures

Hi
Do I need to do something special to enable my Phone Contact pictures? The contacts are transferred over but not their pictures. FYI, I have a Nexus-6 w/ Android-M

They should come on when you open the door. There're hard to see in the sunlight. If you can't see them at night you need service.

I have the same issue. Did they fix it for you?

I made a quick sharp left and all of a sudden the car warns me to take the car to the dealership. A lot of the features said were malfunctioned (line assist and ABS). I'm a little annoyed.

Anyone else run into this?
