2023 Gx460 Black Line Edition
I just purchased a 2023 Gx460 Black Line Edition(1 week ago) and am trying to find out whether or not it has heating/cooling mode where the 2 temperature controls are linked as one. It operates in dual mode where driver and passenger can individually control the temps, but I was almost certain the first time I drove the car, that the controls were synchronized to just be operated by the drivers side. I also have a 2004 GX470 and that definitely has the option to switch between the 2 modes. Does anyone know of it has both modes or just the one? The manual says that the dual and rear buttons are one of the same?
Thanks

22 owner here and my temp controls are not synced.
I do this weird thumb and pinky toggle motion to raise and lower temps.

@MolliWinni , first, I have no idea why your post got moved to this thread, as this is a thread about the next gen GX. For some reason, the mods here have a maddening habit of consolidating threads into huge ones where questions go to die.
To answer your question, though, I believe if you go into the bowels of the menu and turn "3-zone" off, you effectively sync the two fronts and the rear. Try it and report back if it works. In real lifem though, you might find it easier to just adjust the temps to your liking separately.

thanks!!. Are you able to change settings in obd apps as with Ts ?
I took mine out for a drive today and observed HVAC a little closer on AUTO. While I do get air out of defrost on almost all settings it would appear nothing high speed on the AUTO setting for Defrost. That one TS setting I have turned on always feeds some air to the foot area when Defrost is used. I was going to leverage OBD Link to watch the OBD actuator changes they aren't exactly labeled in a way I could quickly monitor. It can be done though adding gauges and you can then watch them change with different HVAC combos. A project to document for another day.

New GX owner questions
Hello all. I just purchased a 2014 GX with 54,000 miles. Love it and still figuring it out. Couple questions.
Is there a way to sync the temp setting on both passenger and drivers side?
Is there a way to set the default air circulation to outside air? Mine always reverts back to recirculation mode when I start it up.
Thank you.

As far as recirculation. You might need to go into the control pages and look for the settings. Or look for the Lexus Personalized Settings from the dealership

Rear Climate
Is there a way to use the rear A/C without someone actually being in the rear seats of a 2023 GX? A watched a tutorial that said if there’s nobody sitting in rear seats, the blowers will just be on the driver and/or the passenger seats?

You should be able to. Not sure the 23 GX display has the similar user interface as other Lexus model currently, if you go to the Climate section, if there is a “Concierge” setting, just turn it off. You should be then just press the “Rear” button to turn rear a/c independently.
