🧑‍💻 GX550 Tech Tips and Tricks

Mine is about the same. Sometimes 68 is WARM!

This has officially became our only gripe with the GX550. It's pretty darn frustrating on trips.

My Short List so far:

• Hold Unlock on fob to open windows, programmable at dealer(Page 100 of manual)
• Remote Start via fob: Lock 3 times holding on the last
• Fob Sleep: Hold Lock, Press Unlock Twice, Fob Light will blink 4 times
• Bind Seat Memory to Key. Press Seat preset and unlock on door
• Enable auto parking break by pulling and holding until beep

I just had the 'open windows trick' programmed at the dealer. It works great. They use their OEM tool, CBEST.
What they don't tell you: the windows will not go back up if you hold the lock button, like BMW and Mercedes. Need to use the mechanical key to close the windows and moonroof from outside. Obviously, this is a safety feature that Lexus couldn't get around.
And the service is not free. $43.50, but I think it will be a nice idea to air out the vehicle after sitting in the sun all day!

Is it possible for auto hold to default to on when you start the vehicle?

This is actually a good idea. All my other cars didn’t need to have to hit a button to turn this feature ON. I would much prefer the button is there to turn it OFF as I always use it.

Lots of great info on this forum. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the nav system graphics from 2D to 3D?
