Pics of your 7ES - RIGHT NOW!

I mean the active noise cancellation feature that comes with the Luxury and up spec, works the same as ANC headphones, a microphone in the engine bay captures noise then the opposite is sent through the speakers to cancel the noise. Not sure how useful it is, but all I know is my ES is so darn quiet, the only things I hear is if I rev the engine or slight wind noise (like a gentle whoosh) at high speeds, no tire or road noise that stands out to me unless the road is atrocious.

the noise reducing wheels however have a hollow chamber designed to dampen certain resonance. I’ve seen a video demonstration and it works. Mostly for impact, notvtire whine. Only one wheel for the ES is NR, the lux wheels with (I think) 20 spokes.

As said when you have the subwoofer installed, you can hear the feedback of the system pumping noise into the cabin, only for a short time during certain load and RPM scenarios. Then it shuts off. So it's very limited in scope and use. The primary sound abatement measures on the ES are just your traditional sound deadening and other measures. The ANC is really to mitigate the inherently loud roar of the A25FXS, and even then only subtly at best.
I did not research the ES350 to see what ANC does on it or if it even comes on it.

Can anyone save me from looking in my owners manual and tell me what this button does?
Edit: Never mind, manual says it's an intrusion sensor cancel switch, whatever that is!

Must be a 2023 thing. Probably a sonar or other sensor which trips the alarm when sensing interior movement. say you want to lock the car with a pet inside or you want to chill inside yourself without setting off the alarm.
though i don't know 100% how this Lexus button works or what its for but that's my guess. ive never seen that since late 2018-2019 since ive been on these boards.

Oh is that person from somewhere other than NA? i thought about it for a second but they seemed to type as if they were from the US/Canada. I shouldn't assume. what is "ACT"

The button is the switch for the movement sensor which is located over the headliner.

First wash at age 2 weeks. Still debating whether to do “ceramic sealant” versus full ceramic coating …

Nice and congrats. At first I thought your chrome trim upper by the b pillar is a different color on the back door, like maybe you vinyl wrapped it, but i think it's just the light reflecting differently on the back vs. the front.
Either do a DIY wax/coating/sealant or DIY ceramic. don't pay anyone to do any detailing on the car, especially ceramic. especially on a new car when it's the easiest thing to do in the world yourself.
but if you insist, go with the fullest ceramic coating.
personally 20+ years enthusiast (and some pro) detailing, honestly, to me, ceramics=meh. i wouldn't say NO to doing a ceramic, but to me it's not a "heck yeah."
I'd rather use a spray wax/sio2 or spray ceramic. something semi permanent that gets maintained regularly. wax has a higher gloss anyway.

Didn't do too much on th 2022 ES 300h UL. Had Dealer install invisible bra on hood as well as on exterior mirrors
Replaced Chrome Wheels with Black Enamel Wheels. Tinted Windows 35% all over
I will mention the interior for 1 reason and the 2022 ES300 UL was not Android Wireless since that started in 2023 but now it is. How, purchased
from AIexpress a short flat angled USB which one part fits in usb power port and the other ends connects to an android receiver, that part came from
BEST BUY.
I hope the pictures explain it all.

I use this duster once a week on the interior: dash, console, seat, door even windshields and glasses and no dust and gunk built-up any more.
Wipe everything down once a month if you are the only one drive it, and do leather and dash care etc. car will be brand new for forever.
