    So refreshing to see a car desgined with no gimmicks. No annoying features behing a touch screen, no stupid capacitive touch buttons, a proper gear lever, etc. With so many manufacturer's trying to re-invent the wheel, Lexus got the fundamentals spot on.

    14:17 Hey guys, Lexus Tech here. That beeping sound that happens in the drivers seat when you move it is actually something that's supposed to be removed during the GX PDI process, but all Lexus cars from factory come like that. I believe it's there to remind the tech doing the PDI to set the seat memory, so when it isn't set, it just beeps when moving it. All they had to do it move the seat through all of the maximum movements possible in the seat control, and it'll go away. Always love the videos guys, keep up the good work

    • @swaggareli
      @swaggareli 11 місяців тому +33

      Kinda right, kinda wrong. It’s a reminder that the seat ecu hasn’t been initialized. The seat memory function doesn’t work til it is initialized. Also I’m sure setting the seat memory isn’t part of the PDI process.

    The seat was beeping because the memory function isn't set up from factory. This is something done typically during PDI. The seat basically needs to go to all it's maximum positions to be "primed". Full forward then back, up/down, tilt, recline. They the beep will go away.

The inclusion of Harrison is always a treat but, it would have been epic if somewhere in the video where you were on screen driving the GX, Harrison's head rose up from the back with that classic big smile of his! Oh! And since you were in the AZ, and that you like to collaborate with other reviewers, it might have been nice to have a Sarah-n-Tuned cameo here. Just sayin'...
