I ended up re-seating the deflector and now my drivers side window closes fine. Apparently it doesn't take much resistance to trigger the pinch protection. I originally called the vendor (Weathertech in Downers Grove) and they said to bring it in and they could try a different deflector to see if that corrected the problem. Re-seating it did the trick.

My '05 RX330 doesn't scroll either. Nav with CD changer.

Thanks for the replies. The dealer has agreed to upgrade the system to one that includes remote unlocking / locking for no charge. It is still an Audiovox product so I'll have to take my chances. I'll post any issues I have with the system as a service to others that may be considering a remote starter.

Yes, it is to preheat the car in winter and precool the car in summer. The dealer had a third party company come in and install it. I have no complaint about the quality of install or the starter itself other than the inability to remotely unlock the doors. This same model is offered by two seperate Lexus dealerships in the area. My previous car had a Valet (DEI) starter that I had no problem with for 5 years. What is your experience with the Audiovox model that you feel makes it a poor choice?

I chose to get a remote start from my local Lexus dealer and was willing to pay a premium so that I wouldn't have to deal with finger pointing if something went wrong. The system they installed, Audiovox AS-9055T does not provide the ability to open the locks by remote. I need to first kill the engine and then use the original RX remotes. I can neither open the doors or the back hatch after the car has been started remotely. This is cumbersome and my previous system (on another car) did not work this way. I had replacement remotes but they gave me full access to locking / unlocking the doors as well as opening the hatch. The dealer claims the need to kill the engine is necessary to not compromise the RX security system. I explained that I still needed to insert the key in the ignition before I could take the car out of park (the engine dies if the brake pedal is pressed without the key in the ignitiion as expected). I can also manually open the doors by using the key lock on the door handle. I've talked to many people with not only Lexus cars but Audi's, Volvo's, Infiniti's, and BMW's. None have to kill the engine before using the remotes to unlock the doors. I assume those vehcles have similr security systems. I also talked to several aftermarket installers and all say that they can install remote start without compromising the security system and allow for remote unlocking of the doors. I suspect the dealer is giving me the usual mumbo jumbo but wanted to check with all of you before I have them remove the system and look elsewhere for a remote start. Thanks, Alex

My drivers side just started doing this a couple of days ago. I thought I had changed something as the passenger side still works fine. The drivers side just doesn't tilt as much as it used to. Something else (along with a loose drivers seat) to add to my 5k service.

I have the same problem on the deflector for my drivers window. The others work fine. I'll have to try re-seating the deflector to see if that makes a difference.

You can reinitialize the upper setting by holding the window switch in the up position for about 5 or 10 seconds if I remember correctly. It's in your manual.

I was thinking the same thing. On previous cars I've owned, you could use the driving lights with the parking lights on. This would help in foggy conditions. On the RX, they seem to have little value other than for appearance. I never use them.

I cant find it in the manual...and i dont think its there, haha. Can u give me a page, i noticed u have the 2004 rx330 too. ← Page 30.
