Some of us change the temperature frequently. The lexus toggle isn't as user friendly. It goes slowly compared to other examples. If you don't change the temperature very often then it's probably fine. I personally have gotten used to it but it's not as functional as other controls I've used.

I'm not sure what that means but it's a subjective thing. I toggle, temp changes and it's done. Don't know what you mean by SLOWLY.

That's what he's likely hearing then. Engage when you shift to PARK and disengage when you shift out of PARK.

Thanks for posting this! Didn't know about this. I never usually use my parking brake, but if it's automatic, why not!

The volume goes down so low. I've had them check this over and over and was finally told "It's working as designed". And my wireless charger charges for less than one minute before it starts blnking. I've had this checked over and over and even had the console replaced. This last time I was told the phone has to be in a certain place and if it moves even a bit, that can stop the charging. That's ridiculous. I don't drive in a way that it would move but it's still not functioning properly. I don't have navigation so if I'm using Apple Car Play for a map and my phone needs charging, I either have to wear earphones or look at the map on my phone and not the display. So frustrating. My car has been at the dealership about 20% of the time I've had it. Has anyone else had this experience and more importantly, did it get fixed? I now have a case with Lexus corporate. Let's see what they do but I'm not a happy Lexus owner right now.
On my '21 ES 350, my phone gets charged when its plugged in and being used for Waze or anything else through Apple Car Play. Sure you're using a correct 3 or 4 inch cable? I bought one for just a few bucks on Amazon and everything is happy! Never use my wireless charger, as my current phone is an older model and won't work with it anyway.

Can't you just press the button next to the rear license plate light. Finding it is very easy. Why go inside the car for that button?

There's a thread on it in this forum with my photos and everything. Been a while and I don't remember off hand but it also comes up easily through Amazon.

I appreciate your help, Shaboom. I had located your previous thread as well as the item on Amazon, both of which you mentioned earlier. My concern is the color might not be as compatible with my car as it is yours.

Beige (tan) option is pretty neutral and should be compatible with most all interior colors.Fortunately, my headliner is dark brown and the brown case matches it it exactly. It’s felt lined inside and quite a value. But you’ll know best what you need and like.

Default All good colors are canceled

The best outside color - atomic silver was eliminated. So are the best interior colors - rich cream and parchment. Macademia is too light and not practical. And why light gray not offered? Good interior colors are offered for ls and rx. Infuriating decisions.
