Sailormike - I a bit disturbed by your statement "I have even been leaving the fob locked in the vehicle when I dont want to carry it" !!
I am not disturbed by you ... I am deeply disturbed by the fact that the car will actually allow you to lock a FOB inside the car. I was under the impression that the car will not lock if the FOB is anywhere in the car. The only exception to this is a very rare occurrence, which is discussed in the owners manual on page 117. The manual warns that there are situations where you use the power back door reserve function that you can lock the FOB in the car.

This is a feature -- not a bug. If you were going hiking or road tripping or any other scenario where you have more than one key and don't want to carry both with you, this lets you lock one in the vehicle. (Just imagine going somewhere and wife wants to leave purse in vehicle)

Multi driver household Lexus accounts
From what I read there is currently no way to have multiple owner/driver accounts for the same car.
We have a household with 3 drivers and my wife and I co-own the vehicle. We both have to have the lexus app with individual profiles, digital key and the ability to remote start and lock the car.
Has anyone been able to do this?
Lexus, are you reading this????

Based on reading ol these threads as well as the manual, sounds like these is no real solution to this, but rather people finding ways to work around.
This is clearly a mis programming on Lexus' part.
Lexus / Toyota should change the app and profiles to allow the vehicle owner to choose who they want to share all digital vehicle controls with. It is not Toyota's decision to choose for the owners that paid for the vehicle.

Profile setup and Android auto
Me and my wife share our Lexus RX. Sometimes she drives. Sometimes I drive just depending on kids plans. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to set up two separate profiles. So when she's driving the car, her Android auto works and all her custom settings work. I have to switch it manually but I don't want to switch it manually. Every time I get in the car seems ridiculous. I'm hoping it's just a set of problem with either the app or the profiles. Hoping somebody can help me out here.

This matches our use case too. My wife and I have separate profiles. We set up our profiles with facial recognition and set the car to use only facial recognition to identify the driver.

Dash welcome screen
Does the steering wheel dash screen state welcome " your name". Every time you start the car or is it only on the infotainment screen. We are having trouble with our dedicated profiles and seat settings staying correct. We have only one profile set up the primary driver that's it.
Can you have an additional profile or does that require a separate account on the Lexus app to go along with a secondary profile in the car. We seem not to be able to get a consistent answer from Lexus
Any help would be appreciated
