At first I thought it rather silly but in thinking about it, it makes some sense. It was especially odd that you would get the extra controls only when the transmission was in reverse. But then again about the only time you would need to adjust color and tint (or in this case tone) would be when the camera was being used...with the transmission in reverse.
For the MAP display and the other displays - audio, climate, etc., color controls aren't that important. Actually, some might argue that it would be for MAP, but in the end the real variable is in the camera, not the display. So it seems there are controls to 'adjust' the camera output to better match the true colors it is seeing. My guess is its really for the factory or dealer, not the owner.

Did you know that when you hold down the Mode button on the steering wheel to turn OFF the radio/CD you get a Beep sound as it turns off, but when you turn OFF the radio/CD using the regular On/Off/Volume ****, there's no Beep?

1) Press "Menu" hard button located to the right of the Nav screen
2) Tap the Speaker icon (I believe it's labeled "Volume")
3) Tap--in the general vicinity of--the following corners of the screen in fairly-rapid (i.e., not too fast nor too slowly) succession: UL, LL, UL, LL
There is another diagnostic screen accessible by doing the following:
1) Press "Map" hard button located to the right of the screen (so that you're in Map view);
2) Press "Disp" hard button located to the left of the screen
3) Tap the following areas of the map itself (i.e., don't tap in the corner of the actual screen, but in the "corner" of the displayed map): UL, LL, UL, LL, UL, LL
If the above seems confusing, then watch the following video:
How to access alternate diagnostic screen
Note--either/both tricks won't work if your DVD nav rev is 6.1 or newer...unless you create a hybrid 5.1 DVD--instructions on how to create one can be found elsewhere in this forum. Also--I am not responsible if you happen to screw up your nav by messing around w/ the diagnostic menus.

Interesting about the moonroof on the panoramic roof....because when you hold the unlock button on the smart key for a few seconds, all the windows AND the moonroof is supposed to open. But only my windows come down but not the moonroof...must be the same thing as what you all are talking about because I have the panoramic roof.

Just wondering if anyone knows a way to change the es350 custom settings without taking the car to the dealer to do it. Is this the same as the diagnostic mode? I haven't try it yet....
Thanks
Thanks

The dealer will do it for free if they are any good dealer! They were supposed to do it at my 1000 mile check but the guy didn't have the "scanner" device that he needed. So, I am going to have em change it at the 5000 mile check. Of course, on the ES, I think the standard settings are pretty good! On the LS, you have alot more choices.

Well, free is good and I think it should be free. But I might decide that I want to test different settings to see if I like it. So I don't think I have time to take it back to the dealer ever time I want to change something.
