Just wondering about who else has any pet peeves about their Lexus and how they cope with them or even better, if there is a way to fix them please share. This isn't meant to get into issues or problems, just those little things that bug you or make you ask "why did they do it that way...."
Here are mine (2004 RX330):
1. "Lawyer Screen" on nav system and passenger cannot operate with car in motion. (I know there's a few hacks around but none seem to address the lawyer screen).
2. Power Window Override for driver -- in other cars (Volvo, VW, Ford, GM, Chrysler) the similar switch is used to prevent kids in the back from operating the windows, but the driver can still operate all windows. Some cars it's the two backs + the one front, but they all allow the driver to defeat the override and maintain window control. Not so my Lexus - with their switch all the windos are locked out for the passengers AND the driver (except the driver's of course). Drives me nuts in our house because when I drive I often with no kids and let the windows down while my wife often has the kids and wants the windows locked out. The results in constant bickering similar to the toilet seat up or down issue if one of us forgets to leave the setting conveniently set for the other's preference. Then when we're all in the car and are going to make a compromise and let the kids have their windows part way down - you have to un-lock the window and then quickly get it partially opened and then re-lock it out before the 5 yr old gets his hands on the switch and causes a stalemate!!! In other cars we just set the switch and the kids are locked out + driver gets full control + no issues with driver A vs driver B.
3. Cruise Control only has "partial" memory --> cruise on a highway, drop speed, hit resume and go back to where you were. No problem until you drop down in speed below it's lower limit or come to a stop - even if you get back up to highway speed the system has forgotten it's setting. Now you have to re-set a new cruise point. Other cars don't allow you to operate cruise under the lower limit but they keep the set point in memory so that you can hit resume when you get back up to the operating range. Frustrating with Lexus that such a simple thing is not done well.
Any other ideas on how to fix these peeves? Anybody else have others?
