That's very interesting Bearcat. I didn't know that. I had fully intended to get the PVM even before your mention. For me, the PVM is a "killer app". Can't imagine anyone who does lots of parking not wanting this option.

15RX => 16RX without PVM = Good
15RX => 16RX with PVM = Excellent
16RX W/O PVM => 16RX with PVM = Better

Great Garage Door Opener
One HUGE improvement that I've noticed...ok maybe not huge...but "yuuuuge" is the buzzword these days...is the improved garage opener...they call it "Homelink" but c'mon...it's a garage opener. Prior Lexi that I've owned had this but you had to hold the button for a long time until the signal was caught by the door receiver. With the 4RX, you can just quickly press the button and let go and the signal continues to send for a few seconds...long enough to "get caught" by the receiver. Seems trivial but it's a big improvement.

I noticed that too. The LED indicator is also hidden in the mirror rather than on the frame. Very slick.
Lexus isn't that one that named it that...Homelink is the name of the company that makes it.

I noticed increased range too. One of my three garage doors would only open if right in front of it now it will work when I first pull onto the driveway.

Turning off Engine and not the Audio
This might be known to some folks, I just figured this out..
-- If you want to turn-off only the engine and not the media/radio, switch transmission to Neutral and then press the ignition once to turn-off ignition, then switch transmission to Park. Helps when you are at the gas station, or waiting to pick someone up.
If someone knows how to start the engine w/o interrupting the radio/media that would be useful

Then there's the "hidden" cell phone holder under the palm rest. I can't imagine which phone would actually fit in there. The wife saw it and said, "Oh good. Now I can keep my lip balm and eye drops in there." Sigh.

Coin box? Are you referring to the "tissue holder" on the far right under the vent? LOL A kleenex packet fits in there perfectly!
