Pressing the 1 & 2 doesn't do anything. 🤷‍♂️
and I'd rather the car recognize me by the fob anyway, I dont have do anything but open the door.

 

The car now has the ability to track all kinds of stuff including camera settings, audio settings, climate settings, and of course seat/wheel/mirrors. By going through the extra steps of creating the two driver profiles you are allowing the car to track so much more on a per-driver basis. If you don't care about tracking any of those other settings, and if your car allows it, you can certainly keep using the buttons. I just get irritated when things I presumably paid for do not work so I felt obligated to keep chipping away until I got it figured out. I suspect I won't have to think about it again for the rest of the time I own the car.

 

Haven’t had time to watch this yet but it will probably be helpful. It was just released. Melissa does a great job with these.

 

Yeah that would have been helpful! She covers everything we learned the hard way 😜 The part about needing to drive the car (and over 3mph) to get the settings to save ended up being the real missing link on our first failed day. Only thing this video doesn't cover is how to create/add the second profile to the car. And even without that it's 7 steps. Nice job Lexus 🤪

 

I'm bumping this for others who might find themselves needing to set seat memory, etc. My dealer reset the electronics as part of a troubleshooting exercise on my '26 RX350h and I couldn't figure out why certain settings weren't "sticking" as I reconfigured everything. The seat/mirror positions were driving my crazy as every time I'd lock the vehicle and get back in, the driver's seat and both mirrors were moving to other positions. After about an hour of insanity, I stumbled upon this thread and took the RX out for a spin (vs. doing everything while parked in my driveway). Voila (I think) as, upon returning, I exited, locked the vehicle, unlocked and got back into the driver's seat, and the seat/mirror positions seemed to "stick".

 

Haha, thanks for the trip down memory lane (pun intended). Thankfully the system has worked smoothly since I made the post. But man, re-reading this again now it is just shocking how convoluted this workflow is.
