Thanks to all for the great recommendations. I now have the cup holder insert, console organizer, and the charging mat. One minor issue I see is that the charging mat blocks the indicator lamp in the tray that the phone is charging... it turns from green to orange... so now I wait for the...

You can also just press any button on the steering wheel e.g. audio volume, and the ACC will still think you're paying attention. No need to move the steering wheel. This works on other cars as well, even Tesla.

My backlit controls for defrosters and volume, along with the LHS memory seat and instrument cluster dimmer appear when you first unlock the doors and seem to be tied to the DRLs. If you don't start the vehicle, they do go dark after ~10 seconds and I hear a relay click off. But they remain...

Honestly, wind noise with the cross rails mounted was not that bad, only noticeable on highways under windy conditions. Now it’s barely noticeable but keep in mind the vehicle is a “brick”, not aerodynamic by any means.

My GX550 came fitted with the port optioned cross bars which also added $440 to the bottom line. Didn’t want them but as you know you get them anyway, with a lot of other stuff Lexus pushes out as PIOs. For me, I have 4 reasons to remove them, 1. Wind noise. 2. Added height. 3. Not...

Traded in my 2020 MB GLE450, the GX is superior in build quality and suspension / ride quality, but I do miss the gas mileage and range.

Important connected Phone advice: Anyone who has setup a digital key with their phone, well Lexus has a safety feature I was not aware of. Yesterday I accidentally left my phone in the console charging tray. When I tried to lock the vehicle using the outside touch handle, I got a series of...

Premium Plus owners: Can anyone please explain the purpose of this extra unused fitting on the driver’s side rear suspension circled in red? It does not exist on the passenger side. Apparently it is a 90 degree bracket with an unused mounting hole brazed to the frame, and no similar bracket...

I feel your pain! While I admire the overall fit and finish of the vehicle, I agree that some areas require special attention and extra care when cleaning. In addition to the wheels, the shiny black plastic cowling below the windshield is an area of concern. With all the abrasive dirt that...

Actually I don’t have a second data line. I have a series 3 iwatch, but if you don’t have your phone nearby you might need a later generation watch with built in gps / data this to work.

The iPhone app automatically appeared on my watch after loading the Lexus app. Here is a complete listing of what you can do from your wrist: remote engine start and stop lock / unlock control hazards control lights control horn control buzzer trunk lock / unlock check fuel level / range /...

I also agree that the optional leather key glove is a poor design! However, I just realized we’ve all been installing these key fob cases incorrectly! There is a hidden elastic strap that holds the fob in place. It’s not perfect, but much improved! Please see the attached picture. Hope this...

Not sure I understand the intent of the email by the OP. A better strategy would be, 1. take delivery, 2. drive it under various scenarios, and 3. provide feedback via the official Lexus sanctioned survey which they do in fact read and compile data. How do you provide valuable feedback to...

Finally ! Delivery day at Lexus 😬 worth waiting for! Caviar Premium + w/ black interior / roof rails / side moldings / door edge guards

Thanks, that's great news. I plan on doing the same to store my carpet mats. Actually, the dealer advised that the limited availability of the all-weather mats at the port caused many delays in shipping the GX's to the dealer. Seems odd that something as simple as floor mats would hold up...

Can anyone please advise if the GX550 comes with carpeted floor mats in addition to the all-weather mats that are installed as PIO options? I'm picking up my premium + tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

Good question, but I think that's already figured into price for the PIO. Great idea to have both! Similarly, what do they do with the extra wheel nuts when the wheel locks are installed? Would be nice to have them as a backup, just in case something happens along the way (like losing the...

I had a deposit on a Premium + which just arrived at the dealership. Dealer now advises I owe over $500 for additional port installed options. Really don't think that's a fair business tactic as they were added without my consent, some I don't even want. Apparently, the port installs extra...

From what I've learned, the vibration issue is seemingly across all model lines, particularly noticeable when the V35A turbo engine reaches around 5000 rpms. Vibration is mostly felt in the gas pedal and the steering column. I'm taking delivery of a Premium + in a couple of weeks and will...
