PVM question...
I was wondering if it is possible to have the cameras come on when the PVM detects something in front, like pulling into the garage. I swear it did this when I first got it but doesn't do that anymore. Then I realized you can set it to Auto, but then the cameras come on anytime you come to a stop which is kind of annoying. Any thoughts?

I just watched the Panoramic View Monitor video at Lexus Drivers. According to the video, you turn off the Auto mode and with the RX in Drive, just press the View button to the left of the steering wheel and the display will change from Map navigation view to "Wide Front" view which might be helpful while pulling into your garage. I'll try it in the morning myself.

Yep. if someone walks near the sensor it beeps and shows on the screen. It will also go off if you get too close to the car in front of you. As I recall you can set the range to be less sensitive in the Parking Assist settings.

According to the owners manual the range of the Intuitive Parking Assist front center sensors is 3.3 ft. and less. The range of the front corner sensors is 2.0 ft. and less. As an aside, I was astounded to learn that the DRCC radar sensor in the front can sense objects 400 ft. downrange.

Just thought I'd let you know my PVM still comes on when I pull into the garage. It's not set on auto ( at least I don't think it is because it doesn't come on at lights or stop signs) my screen shows two views of the monitor and one of the park assist. Been working this way since I got it in January.
