I'm a huge Joe Bonamassa fan and have a DVD of his concert at the Royal Albert Hall in England. While sitting in the car in the garage and reading the owner's manual about the audio system I tried a DVD audio disc of BB King and Eric Clapton, which wouldn't play but when I played JB's DVD video, much to my surprise, not only did the soundtrack start playing BUT the video of the concert showed up on the display. Cool! Of course you lose the video once you start the car but it will be great when my wife is shopping and I'm waiting in the mall parking lot for her. I'll just throw in a movie or a concert video and chill.

My favorite discovered feature on my 2014 GS 350 is the full throttle mode.
People who have driven this vehicle and complains that it is slow or lagging during wide open throttle because they did not access the full throttle mode.
Full throttle mode is basically a small tactile detent in our gas pedal. To access it you would need to step on the gas pedal all the way to the floor. And right when you think it has reached its full travel you have to apply more pressure and go past that detent and voila! Full throttle mode baby!

Not my favorite but just noticed this while in traffic the other day. Press and hold the mouse/cursor button and the "bulls eye" on the Nav scree turns yellow and allows you to scan across the map in any direction. the further you move the cursor from center the faster the scan. Only works when your sitting still though.

I discovered that we can find out the road hazards by selecting the hazard symbols on the navigation screen. The system will read back what each hazard sign represents (i.e. car stalled in far left lane 1 mile ahead)

edit: your post says over Bluetooth....Now I'm even more confused.
It will only track up or down with a press and do nothing with holding the arrows on the left side of the steering wheel.

Just picked up a 2015 Crafted Line last night and so far, I've found these.
-Voice command can be calibrated to your voice and accent. This is pretty cool. However, I found voice command to be pretty much useless.
-Click in your seatbelt and your seat will move to your setting without powering up the car!

Just found out that that there is a little button top left in glove compartment that disables the truck from opening. I have the one touch power trunk and tried to open it and thought oh oh, it's 6 weeks old and falling apart! My wife was in the glove box yesterday wondering what that button was. I called the Lexus Service and she immediately knew it was that valet button. Nice feature when you know what it is!

I was fiddling with all the learned remote tricks from this thread today, and was trying some other combinations on the remote. When holding the lock and unlock buttons together for 5 seconds, the car beeped 4 times. When I do it again, the car beeped 6 times. I assume this is some sort of setting? Does anyone know what exactly happened?
