"Waving your hand" is the problem in jcheng's situation. Simple hold your hand (or elbow) steady over the
top half of the Lexus Arrowhead Logo. When it chirps a second later move away. Waving about or holding
your hand vertically over both the top and bottom of the badge will not work.

alright got that to work too, I just put my hand half of the logo and it worked. I was wondering when using the phone to remote start the engine does the a/c weaker than not using the remote start? Just asking because I don't feel like my car inside super cold when I use the remote start. But when I manually start the engine I feel cold air blowing.

If you can waive you hand in front of the emblem why not just push the button.

Cocal

Agree, if you can wave your hand you can use the FOB, it's a matter of planning. It's just another marketing gimmick.

tomtom74

No, it's not. And also, it doesn't have to be hand to open. I have used shoulder and elbow when I had things in my hands.

Cocal

Yes, but if you planned you could also have your FOB in your hands. Look at those where you have to wiggle your foot under the vehicle, not only you have to balance on one foot, but do so while your hands are full. However did we manage before?

Richard203 - are you using the Drive Mode "ECO"? Unlike "Sport", ECO stays on
after a restart and ECO diminishes the A/C output because the compressor takes
gas to run. ECO is nice in that it can improve MPG "up to 7%" but be aware of how
it works. Throttle tips in slower (needs to be pressed harder for same power), the
cruise control doesn't react to hills as forcefully or cause downshifts as often and
the HVAC output is lessened.
If you are using ECO try restoring Normal by pressing straight down on the Drive
Mode button and monitor your remote start results.

jcheng

That's what I'm saying. Either press the button on the trunk or the fob.

so don't use it and move on, you and Cocal have the option to use it or not,
easy as that, no need to slam a feature. delete it from your build sheet, or don't use it.

thanks I don't know ECO mode will make the remote start a/c weaker. I guess I know how to use most of the function in the RX now. Thanks!!

I just notice today theres a wrench icon next to the trip when u start your car. do any1 know whats that?

Cocal

It gives you the number of miles/Km before the next service is due.

It's a good gesture from Lexus to make opening your hatch & unlocking doors easier, but for me it takes several tries of hand positioning or a couple of touches on the door to get them to work.
The hatch button & key Fob works every time.

see your tech guy or gal at the dealer and they can show you how it works. i have 0 issues with the rear gate or doors
