Default Your favorite software settings?

What are your favorite settings for your GSF? Sometimes I find it hard to hunt through all the menus to find all the settings that I want to customize. do you all have settings you changed when you got your GSF?

Also - do you know if there is a way to enable menu operation while driving? I want to be able to set a GPS destination while driving (passenger obv). I was able to disable it on another aftermarket deck in my other car.

Not sure about all the favorite settings for I am just fumbling my way through them all (have not read all the manuals and probably never will) and am unaware (have not looked) for an aftermarket fix. That said, I do recall reading the Voice Recognition is supposed to be much better than in previous Lexus models and can be activated while driving (I think).

Sorry can't confirm or offer more but I have not needed to use the GPS yet.

I too haven't taken much time to play with the settings.

The extent has been going through the gauge settings to see if there are any additional ones. I haven't been able to find any.

I always keep the G-force meter up on the dash for no other reason other than it's cool to look at when the TVD on track as you come around a hard corner (this may or may not be at a quick speed). Hope to spend some more time to play with all the settings.

Do you have anything in specific you're looking to change?

yeah, I like the G-force meter too.

Not looking for specific settings, just general settings folks found they like.

I just put everthing on Auto on Sports +, but as what everyone said have not played much with the TVD (track, slalom). The auto/manual mode on Sports+ already puts a big smile on my face. But will try out the different TVD settings soon.

this feels really stupid - how do I display the odo???? after 20min of looking I can't figure it out. I guess I could read the manual...

alos is there a way to set it to always be in sport+ & track mode? I am guessing not but wondering if the dealer could set it?

The lawyers at Lexus USA always want you to have to push a button to get sport anything. No set and forget available for enhanced performance modes.

haha, I missed the odo button behind the steering wheel.

yeah, I sure wish the perf modes could be set.

I think i'll definitely look at disabling the nag lock mode.

did I read correctly that the asc is only "active" when in sport/sport+?

ASC only kicks in at speeds above 30 mph. I think you may be right on the Sport/Sport+.

You will need to purchase a Nav bypass from Beat Sonic or Prestigious Society and dig a little into the dash to install.
