Just had a discussion with a member who had 2020, the auto flashing with tap is build in function now. However, for odd reason it was disabled. It can be enabled with either 3 or 5 flash via Techstream just as other Lexus models. Which make sense since 2020 GX share the instrument cluster Multi-information display now. In 2016 LX that I have, the flash relay is intergraded with cluster display and no longer a separate relay anymore. (BTW, the auto flashing function for 2020 GX is listed in Owner’s Manual).
Eureka! Every day I learn something new! I was wondering how to remove that mirror and replace it with a sunglass holder. Gotta keep my Costas close at hand here in FL 😎

5+ years with my GX and recently noticed that the parking brake kills the day time running light (DRL) on start up. Release brake and then I see them.
Using store front window reflections for this.
learned this also later in ownership by using google after going to a drive-in at Laconia NH and desperately trying to keep the truck running(Ac on it was 90 degrees out)and kill the DLR’s.

I was told by the lexus tech a few days ago that 2021 does not have auto-flashing customization available...it is not listed in the manual either...one more function they took away in 2021

What are you talking about? Auto flash what? High beams, turn signals, something else?
May be this is not so much of a hidden trick, but I just learned today that my non-ML audio system can actually play DVDs. Car needs to be in Park, with Emergency brake engaged.
Is this limited to certain years or trims? My 2010 base did not play or recognize the DVD.
