And I paid for the film on the hood.

I didn't know this was possible until I read about it in a different thread but I just had the dealer change the settings for my key fob. I can now open the windows and moon roof. I also had them change the side view mirrors to fold/unfold with the engine instead of the door lock. And the quick turn signal now blinks 5 times instead of 3. There's a lot more things you can customize but these were the only ones I wanted.

I picked up my 2017 RX 350 a month ago. Just made a discovery that probably everyone knew. The cargo net seemed far bulkier than the one on my 2015 cargo net. Mainly due to what I thought was the vinyl bottom. (Think I've used the cargo net maybe twice in all the years I've owned RX's .} So now I'm wondering what to do with this bulky thing. Well I moved it, and it kind of jingled. I found it was a zipper on the bottom making a noise. Why does this have a zipper? It finally dawned on me that what I thought was a bottom was actually a cover for the net. I stuffed the net in, zipped it up, laid across against the back seat. It is out of the way and available if I need it. Now if only I can figure out what to do with that darn cargo cover!

My grievance with the cargo net is that the attachment points are beginning of the load area. I own another vehicle where the attachment points are at the beginning and then another set midway between the back of the rear seating and the beginning of the trunk The midways points are very helpful and I use the cargo net constantly in that position. Too bad the RX doesn't have additional attachment points midway as I would get some real use out of the cargo net. As it stands, I simply have the net tucked away in its pouch and do not use it.

I use the net quite a lot. I find it useful for things that tends to roll around, like a large melon.
When not needed, I tuck it in the bottom plastic pouch and rip it closed, that way it's not too cumbersome.

The all speed cruise control and be set/activated at a full stop. The system will default to a speed of 28 MPH. When the car in front of you move, push your cruise control stick up and the car will follow the car in front automatically.

I felt the same way so I found this on Amazon. I like it much better than the cargo net and it doesn't slide around if you have the all weather cargo mat. It folds up pretty small as well.

When closing the rear hatch, press the "close" button" on the hatch twice, and after it closes all doors all lock. Neat to be able to walk away without having to hit the fob or go back to a door handle.
