Yes, some of us have even muddled along for awhile after the mechanical speedo cable broke and the needle just laid there on zero mph. ;-)

 

Having finally had a chance to drive my wife's RX450h, I am starting to see a couple of questions that I would rather place on the forum, rather than wait for my next 'Training Session' with Lexus. They are good, but forum members are usually better.
Is there anyway to display a digital actual speed on either the center driver's display or on the GPS map? I became accostimed to a digital readout on her Cadillac EXT5. Nice to have when you pass a cop (Not that I would ever speed.....

I will have more questions as she allows me to drive the car I wrote the check for......

 

<groan> Unfortunately, the base RX does not have a digital speedometer unless it has a HUD. The F Sport does have a digital speedometer. (My assumption is the 450h is the same as the 350 in this regard. Others will correct, if I'm wrong.)

Also unfortunately, Google Maps does not display vehicle speed when using Android Auto. Waze and Tomtom AmiGO do, if you are interested. I find them inferior to Maps, though.

 

I too wish it was a feature on the base model. I have had HUD in all of my vehicles for several years. It really annoys me when I drive my wife’s vehicles. Some people seem to forget that most cars today only have numbers in 20 MPH increments on Analog dials which makes it harder to read with a quick glance.

BTW, because of how Lexus equips cars for dealer inventory, it would have cost me $7,000 to get HUD.

 

Looking at dashboard menu I am trying to find the Digital speedometer on the 2021 RX350?..

 

Digital speedometer is only available if you have the F Sport or have the HUD.

 

I have just the base model RX350

 

No digital speedometer on the base model. If you use Android Auto or CarPlay, some nav apps show a digital speedometer overlayed on the map, along with current speed limit. Waze does, I think. My preferred app, Google Maps, does not; it only shows the speed limit, not the current speed.

 

I just use iPhone 14. Not sure if WAZE is on Apple Apps.

 

I kinda wish that they would add it. My wife has it on her 4Runner vs a blank slot on the display. Obviously not a big deal but I do use it on her vehicle as the default.

 

I am using Waze now instead of google . Thanks Bamalam

 

I wish Waze make that Digital Speedometer a bit bigger or make it able to move around instead of having it on the right side top corner of the screen because its good for right hand steering wheels but not left hand steering wheel . You simply can't see the meter from the left.
