I got the 2022 GX460 because the dash and display was different. And to spend as much as I did on the SUV and it does not have certain capabilities that the older models had, is disappointing…. That’s all.
I had been trying to figure it out for a while now and the dealerships had no clue.
but it is what it is.. I have it now.
Just getting information and venting.

My 2017 Corolla let the album art show. Just traded that for a ‘19 UX250h with the 10.3’ screen with Navigation…and no album art while driving, 😩

It kind of takes away from the niceness of the infotainment is all

Yep our 17 RX displays it all the time. I guess the lawyers became more cautious for later MYs.

While in park, you could always watch some DVD's to pass the time!

You can turn off “Voice Guidance” by setting voice prompts to off. Let’s you operate using voice even quicker!

Question Lexus/Toyota Need to Stop Being Big Brother

Because Lexus thinks it too dangerous for us to look at while driving.

We can look at a bunch of other things on our 12.5" screen, we can read 3 lines of text to see what is playing on Sirus/XM, etc, but that little pic is too dangerous.

I appreciate the safety features they have in their cars, but this is not a feature, it's a lecture and it's absurd.

Anyone interested in a class action or otherwise adverse campaign to get them to reverse this?

This is true.... it is insignificant, but I just see the larger issue where everything starts small.

I will be inquiring on every visit until something changes.
Yes, I've brought this up to Lexus also and they can't talk to me about their "proprietary" information. I know it's a small thing, but the 60K+ I paid for the vehicle wasn't small and I'd appreciate not being treated like an infant with this stuff.

Yes, I say we get rid of the Radio all together.... I'm very distracted by it and the heated steering wheel makes me drowsy..... head rest is also distracting to me.... knew I should have gotten a horse. Mikemu30, it's not a "huge" deal, but it's not the business of Lexus to decide these things. Bluetooth, USB, talking on the phone.... all distractions.... which feature gets taken next?

Their attorneys decide these things in a somewhat litigious society. If you're concerned about being denied freedom, there's probably other places to focus your energy.

It's not Toyota/Lexus, it's NHTSA.
