    Thank you for this. This video should have been published by Lexus (shame on them for releasing a vehicle with such confusing systems, like its cruise IMO horrible control and not bothering to create something like your video).
    While I still can't figure out how to make the annoying Rear Seat idiot light to go away (if ANYTHING is on the seats, even just a box of Kleenex, it will light up), or the constant very distracting beeps of its various warning systems, but I picked up a lot of useful info from your video. Stuff that even my dealer didn't know.

      seatbelt lights are triggered by opening a rear door...also rear seat reminder in the instruments. That can be turned off but there is another one in the Lexus app if you don't want the notification....

    • @NorthsideLexus
      @NorthsideLexus  9 днів тому

      Thanks for tuning in with me. As @berniekitts1786 mentioned, the rear seat reminder, seatbelt warmings, etc. are triggered by opening a back door before your drive. If all of the seatbelt reminder lights come on when you start the car, they will usually clear in about a minute without a chime alert. Some people will buckle the rear seatbelts with no passengers if they prefer, but there is not a weight sensor in the rear seats. Just the front. Thanks again for being here.

      ​@@angelmedina4260 checking on that for you. Usually on vehicles that have that feature there is either a dial to control it or it is controlled in Settings > General > Utility > Active Sound Control. But I'm not aware of that being on the GX models and there is no mention of engine sound being piped into the cabin on this vehicle. It does have a fan that can be heard and the twin-turbo v-6 sounds different from the previous v-8, but they don't seem to be adding sound through the speakers to try to mask that.

    Do you have suggestions on the best way to setup two profiles in the vehicle? Is there a way to have the app on two phones with remote features, but have two profiles in the vehicle depending on which key is used? It seems like i can only get one phone with remote features (i.e. one unique login ID), but maybe there is a way to do that? Thank you for the great, detailed video!

    • @NorthsideLexus
      @NorthsideLexus  9 днів тому +2

      Hi! Here are my tips about profiles:
      - Only the Primary profile will add the VIN to their Lexus app and have Remote Connect show in the Lexus app.
      - Secondary profiles will be welcomed on the car screen, they can have their own Radio favorites and other customizable settings.
      - For the best results with profiles: make sure each profile has a linked key, make sure you lock the vehicle (even in your garage at home), and unlock from the driver's door handle for best profile switching, seat adjustment, etc.
      - Each profile can also have their phone paired to their profile in the vehicle and when the profile is recognized the phone will connect to the system.

      Hi! If you have the new GX, check the Setting menu: Settings > General > Language & Units > Set Automatically (Measurements/Units) and see what options are available for you. If you have an older model GX or different system with the menu items controlled through the steering wheel, you'll make that selection through the Units settings in the multi-information display.

    Remote start needs a subscription??? That's messed up.

    • @NorthsideLexus
      @NorthsideLexus  16 днів тому +1

      Remote Start has required some level of trial or paid subscription to keep the DCM active on the vehicle for many years. I wish they at least kept the key fob remote as a possibility, but it also requires the DCM to be active. Since the Service Connect trial is for 10 years, many people are able to use the key fob remote start for free for 10 years. Hope this helps to clarify.

    • @user-cx2bk6pm2f
      @user-cx2bk6pm2f 16 днів тому

      @ 10 years makes it palatable, but the concept leaves a bad taste... continuing to pay for features that you kinda paid for already. Plus, the cloud based navigation leaves some questions, like what happens when 4G is turned off at the towers. 5G and 6G are coming and I think the Nav system will be bricked.

    • @NorthsideLexus
      @NorthsideLexus  13 днів тому +2

      @@user-cx2bk6pm2f Just like when 3G was taken down by the telematics companies, any vehicle or other smart devices that uses 4G will go off line when 4G is taken down. The pace of technology is moving faster than ever and it can be a challenging part of long term vehicle ownership since many manufactures use these same kinds of services. Since I am at a local dealership and just teach people how to use the equipment on their new vehicles, I would recommend leaving your feedback on the Lexus USA channel page so the Lexus developers can see it. Thanks for tuning in with me to learn more about the vehicles.
