On the 450RX, the one thing that drives me crazy the most is that the audio volume (radio or media) is not lowered when the GPS is giving directions. Instead, the GPS has her own volume, and simply talks over the ambient audio -- so if you have music turned up, it's impossible to hear her. This is actually the first car with built-in GPS I've owned with this behavior.

Regarding the USB media playback order -- I had the same problem with the Infiniti (using Compact Flash). I believe that it's the order the files and folders are loaded onto the media. To get mine ordered the way I wanted, manually created the file folders, then went to each file folder and dragged each file in the sequence that I wanted it. On both the Infiniti FX50S and the Lexus RX450H, this gave me songs and folders in the correct order

A strange quirk: sometimes, but not often, on the RX, the USB media goes back to Folder 1 / Title 1. I have no idea why, as I can normally switch between audio sources, and it continues on from where I left USB. My solution is to have my favorite folder as the first one. But what it kind of kills is audio books that aren't divided into small sections.

A further strange quirk as to the audio system that I really don't like: If you press the DOWN arrow on the steering wheel, it goes from track 3 to start of 3, then 2, then 1. On the track title list, this is actually going up the list (as it's listed 1, 2, 3). However, when you go to the satellite radio and you press down, it goes from preprogrammed station #4 to 5, to 6. I can live with it either way, but couldn't they have made it consistent?

Regarding pictures from phone: I have a Lumia 920. The photos work great However, there is a strange cell phone quirk. If I use car Bluetooth, but take control of the handset from the phone (eg hit speakerphone or disconnect Bluetooth) during a phone call, the car will stay stuck in the phone conversation, with the phone connection remaining open. The only way to turn it off seems to be to turn off the car.

I also find the inconsistency in audio list/channel changing to be a weird Lexus quirk. It seems fully intentional: it worked that way in my 2010 and 2015 Lexus vehicles as well as my new 4RX.

Does your RX show Caller's Photo? I get the name/number but not their picture.

Use the Enform App Suite:

1) Destination Search
2) Search for your location
3) Select from list
4) Press "Save"
5) Start car (with Bluetooth on and phone synced)
6) Launch Enform on car
7) Saved Destinations
8) Sync and go.

You can also use e-destination through Safety Connect subscription, but it's more work IMO.
