Is it possible to add 360 Camera?
I'm just here to complain but I still find it inconceivable that a $70k+ car in 2023 doesn't include a panoramic camera. It is certainly my fault for not making sure of this before I purchased but damn, this is considered a "must have" in most major publications (car & driver, etc) and I am still smarting about it. Toyota/Lexus doesn't care what I think but for anyone that is considering a purchase, make sure you get this pedestrian feature.
Maybe the Germans think they are more driver’s cars.
There is an OBD2 port, but Toyota has started implementing a security measure that they call TSK (which I believe means "Toyota Security Key" but I may be wrong) that limits the ability of non-Toyota authorized applications to access it. So my OBD2 reader can't see anything. It's sort of like encryption, though I understand that technically that's not the right description.
Hopefully, this is due to the recent trends of stealing cars by simply tapping into the headlight wiring harness and hooking up a device that allowed anything to trigger the car to unlock and start.
This is actually very good news in my opinion, meaning that it couldn't be done on our RX's.

Combine that with a few other bad decisions, like informatics, and even Toyota is sliding in the wrong direction. I come from a 2013 GS, and while I see much improvement in some areas, like safety systems, other things have turned out to be big disappointments. I have a Carista ODB reader from about 10 years ago which was fine with the GS. Haven’t yet tried to hook it up too my 2025 RX450h+. Got my fingers crossed.
As to the 360 camera, all the cameras and sensors, and their integration, are very well done. I wouldn’t even consider getting an RX without all of them.
