What did you do to your GS today?

Unlock is from VAIS (2015 GS)
2012-2014 has a different model number (ULM-71)
I used the following videos to help with the install (Install took 30-45 minutes, very easy to do)
(BeatSonic, but its the same install)
(only need to do this for 2015+, this seems tricky at first, but watch the video a few times before attempting)
For iPhone Mirroring, I read the IS and GX forums and figured out the following:
The AUX in our arm rest can actually take in Video, so I used the following to connect to my iPhone to AUX:
may need to play around with connections here red to yellow, yellow to white, white to red, etc.
you don't have to use this, there are several different options, but some work and some don't, I used this b/c someone on the IS/GX forums said it worked
HDMI Cable any size or you could use an HDMI Coupler
iPhone to HDMI
You will want this to get the cleanest look as you can hide all the other stuff in the arm rest
I'm still working on a way to hide all the wires, may see how much space there is under the arm rest. Now to figure out how to remove the arm rest.

Installed quilted floor mats. $170 via aliexpress, took three weeks for delivery.
Fitment was good, not perfect, but they are well made and very attractive: thick quilted layer is a waterproof synthetic; mats are soft with a waterproof bottom.
The quilted layer wraps up on all sides, and the mats are easily removable, so they do a great job making the interior easy to clean, fully protecting the factory carpet.
It dresses up the interior nicely, offering a great all weather alternative to rubber mats.
Sample picture because it's really hard to take decent pictures floor mats.

Nice! Yeah at $1100 I would assume that the plugs were changed along some other stuff.

I fixed it, after almost bricking it yesterday.
Last night, I tried to play with the door lock options menu. I have just bought a 2014 GS 300h.
Since nothing seems to work as expected, I shut off all of it:Auto Door Lock, Auto Door Unlock, Remote 2-press unlock etc. Everything in the menu off.
Can't figure it out and better to shut it all off and start from the bottom.
On my way back in I noticed that I had to press the key lock button instead of using the door handle lock sensor.
Nice, at least some difference I thought.
Next morning, I had to unlock with the key button, not the handle, just as expected, but then the start button did not respond at all. The key was not recognized
in any way. I could not start the car. I even held the key next to the start button while pressing Start. That is when I paniced.
I went back in and read all about how to start a Lexus or Toyota with key problems, but only one youtube video where a guy used the key to actually push the start button
remotely differed from all that I had already tried.
So just before calling for help, I decided to try one last time. I went out and pushed the start button with the key, and the car started.
Happy and relieved, I went into the menu again and re-activated the item called Smart entry and start system.

Noticed a tear in my passenger armrest.
Now the spring is finally starting in Michigan, the sun showed up today and I noticed this tear in my armrest. I am nervous that it will spread. Any suggestions on correcting?
