I have spent years being annoyed that I had to manually open my back passenger doors because they auto-locked. Thank you for this video! In one minute I changed the settings to unlock all doors when I open my drivers side door. Tiny little frustration now gone. Happy.
Hello again from a pretty raining Sandton South Africa today. I think you just made my year. Loads of appreciation for you and the awesome knowledge share.
My 2022 LEXUS RX350 they have the same settings but on Wireless lock when door opened,I prefer it off, Remote 2-press unlock,I prefer it on,On automatic door lock,I prefer it by speed, Automatic door unlock,I prefer it by shift to park,On select doors to unlock,I prefer it to driver's door,On auto relock timer,I prefer it to 30s, Lock/Unlock feedback lights,I prefer it on,On Lock/Unlock feedback Tone,I prefer it to 5.... Thank you for this video,it is very useful...
Lexus lack an important feature, locking the door automatically after you leave the car. You have to use the remote or touch the handle. The car should lock the door automatically after it did not detect a key fob or phone connection nearby.
Lexus gets a lot of requests for an auto locking feature. I'm not sure why they haven't added it to any of the models, but it would be popular. Thanks for being here.
Yep, my dad got an iPad stolen because he thought the car would automatically lock when he walked away like every other luxury vehicle that’s designed properly. The other main issue I see is that you have to hit the lock button and some weird sequence to get the car remotely started in the winter time and then when you walk up to the car to open the door, it shuts off. it is supposed to the fob on me should not be a security feature. None of this makes sense, but nothing is perfect in life I guess but Lexus really needs to step up their game and catch up with the pack.
I’m sitting inside my 2006 Lexus is350 after breaking into it because the car didn’t recognize my fob sitting on the front seat so it locked itself. Been a feature since the early 2000’s not sure why yours isn’t offered. Strange.
Praise god!!! A video that was useful!! I spent all day trying to figure out how to lock my Rx with just walking away, you have clarified all confusion! #Subscribed!!!!!
Hi I recently bought a new Lexus Nx300 f sport and cannot access my boot door through fob key remote, when I press that button it beeps twice but did not lift the boot door. Please advice me what setting I should do to sort this out. Thanks 🙏
Hi @Jasvir, Happy to help. It sounds like the power setting for the rear door has been turned off. Here are the steps to follow to turn it back on: From the steering wheel: Use the left and right arrow buttons and the "dot" button to select. - Go left or right until you are on the Settings menu (with the Gear at the top) - Arrow down to highlight and open “Vehicle Settings” - Arrow down to highlight and open "PBD" (Power Back Door) - Toggle to select ON / OFF That should get it going :)
Recent 2022 RX 350 fsport here. Surprised Lexus does not have the walk away and doors lock auto after a few feet or so. My Honda CRV had it and was a great feature. Now having to remember to lock every time I exit the Lexus.
Hi Amed! Thanks for tuning in. I would love it if Lexus would add that feature. It would be a long over due addition. Hopefully remembering to touch the sensor on the end of your door handle will become an easy part of your routine with your new Lexus. There is always so much to learn on a new vehicle. I hope you're enjoying it though.
Hi! Yes, you can use the manual key to lock the car from the driver's door handle emergency key cylinder. There is an example in this video that may help: th-cam.com/video/ALL6ha6dAxI/w-d-xo.html Look at 1:06 for the manual key access. Make sure to take your key fob with you so it is not left in the vehicle while it is running. Hope this helps.
I have a question mam my lexus 2023 LX500d the engine is working when you start but the unlocked,locked is not working. This is new model why the key is not working when you push the locked unllocked. There is the option to open this one or we need to program the key? Thankyou mam.
Hi! I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your key fob. When you have the smart key with you and you put your hand in the door handle, the vehicle should unlock. The indentation at the front of the door handle should lock the entire vehicle. See if my LX tutorial video will help: th-cam.com/video/6IwCSaKBexw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jWWL7_b9KTjDSx4d
If flipping the manual key over the other direction doesn’t get it to work, I would try the metal key from the other fob. That year may also have still come with a valet key, and the valet key, if it had a manual component, might not be able to unlock the vehicle since it was not supposed to be able to access the glove box or trunk. If you can get the trunk open with the manual key from one of the main fobs, you could look for the pass through to the back seat and see if it is open. There should be an emergency release if it is not locked. That might help get you some access inside the vehicle. Best of luck with it.
Awesome suggestion, Cathy! I will get more details about how they make that calculation. I know it is from "recent drives," but I'll see if I can get any more scoop and make a Tech Tip for us!
Rebecca lol! You cracked me up! I’m So glad you’re enjoying the videos! Keep working toward your Lexus goal!

Thanks again for tuning in and making my day with your comment! 🥳
@@NorthsideLexus yes I've been looking at the Rx hybrid and am very surprised at the cost of 3yr old cars which are in my range bracket. I like to dream 😂 Are the deals worldwide? I'm in England 😁
Rebecca check out the Lexus uk site for deals on new and used vehicles, just bare in mind the specifications will differ from US models, I’am on my third Lexus defo worth the extra bucks in reliability and after sales..this site has been great in getting to know how some features work.

So you did mention believe beginning that these features or tips work on any Lexus correct? I have a 2016 RC F SPORT. Any videos on maybe hidden tips on this particular car? BTW... Awesome easy video to understand. Great job!! 👏
Hi Alvaro, Thanks so much for watching! I always try to identify which vehicle I am in to help. Unfortunately technology changes very quickly now days and not all tips will work for all Lexus vehicles, but your vehicle may have similar functionality. You do have to look at your system and setup and see if it applies for you. I have a full tutorial for the 2020 RC and many of the features should apply to your 2016. There are also differences country to country, so please keep that in mind as well. Here's the 2020 RC Deep Dive video if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/GQ_OUmJqy7o/w-d-xo.html I did not start doing these deep dive full tutorial until the pandemic happened and we couldn't sit in person with our new vehicle Guests.

Hello I have a 2021 Lexus is 350, when the vehicle is on can you get out the vehicle and lock it? I haven’t been able to figure it out no matter how many times I hit the lock button
Hi Devin, Yes, you can use the metal mechanical key to lock the vehicle manually form the key cylinder in the driver's door handle while the engine is running. Make sure to take the key fob with you. Do not leave it in the vehicle. When you are ready to unlock the car, you will need to unlock with the mechanical key as well, because you are overriding the smart access system when you lock manually. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in with me.
Thank you for such a helpful video. Learning a lot. Question i have is that my 2022 gx460 locks all doors when putting to P, but the moment i turn the vehicle off, it unlocks all doors. I really dont like this setting. How can one go about changing this setting? So for instance, i come home to park in my garage, put it to P, doors are all still locked, turn off the car, all doors unlock. I want it stay locked even after turning the car off and only unlock when prompting to manually open the drivers side for safety reasons.
Hi! I like to change this setting also. Here’s how: Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customization > Door Lock Settings > Auto Unlock by Shift to Park > Turn the feature Off. That should do it for you 👍
@@NorthsideLexus Hey, so doing this does make the door stay unlocked when the shift is to Park, but when the vehicle is turned off, it auto unlocks all doors again. How can I change this?
@@NorthsideLexus Mine still unlocks when the vehicle is turned off. It stays locked when putting into "P" from "D". But when I shut the vehicle off, it unlocks all doors. Any work around this?
@@willbill2209 Hi Will, That is interesting. Technically having the doors unlock when the car is turned off, is not an option you can select form the customization screen in the car. Perhaps it was customized through the computer with a Technician at your Lexus dealership? They have access to a lot of additional settings. See if this link will work for you: drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/resources/manuals-warranty#lexuspersonalizedsettings Scroll down to the Personalized Settings section at the bottom on the right and open the PDF to see more information about Customizable Settings. Look for item #2 under Door Lock Settings. I hope this gets it for you 👍
Key in fob does not unlock my door, is a setting for actual key in door to unlock? The fob key does open the trunk but not mybdoor. Is 350 2014 lexus. Thanks fro great tips
Hi j rago, The key should open the trunk and the doors. It sounds like there may be something wrong that your Lexus service department might need to take a look at your key. I'm sorry I don't have a better fix for you. Thank you so much for tuning in!
Hi! When you touch the indentation at the front of the door handle (it can be a black touch pad on some older year models), it will lock the car. Then the headlights, including the Daytime Running Lights will turn off automatically based on the timer setting you have customized. The default is 30 seconds. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in!
My car will not stay locked once I’m parked and the car is off.. (but still sitting in vehicle).. I have the 2023 nx350. Do you have a remedy for this issue?
Hi Chey, If you have put the car in Park and turned off the vehicle, you should be able to lock the car with the lock button in the door handle and it should stay locked. If you put the car in Park, turn off the car, exit the vehicle and lock the car and it doesn't stay locked then you may have an additional key in the vehicle. Have you checked the pouch with the Owner's Manuals for the Wallet Key Card? That will prevent you from being able to lock the car. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here.
Can you show a video for lexus rx350 2009? I got this car used and the current autounlocking settings are really dangerous, but I can't get them to change using the instructions in the manual (turn key to on position, within ten seconds shift to park or neutral and hold the drivers side control panel lock in lock position for 5 seconds).
Hi Rohmash. I’m sorry I don’t have access to a 2009 or comparable RX model to work on that for you. I have not seen those instructions before. If I can get one from our pre-owned department I’ll check it out and let you know what I learn.
My 2019 NX300 does not start with remote. I have tried many times with 2 press 3rd hold. Happens on my 2024 NX350 faultlessly though. It’s such a bummer.
Hi! Make sure to check the subscription status in your app for the 2019 NX. It is compatible, but will require an up to date Remote and possibly Safety Connect services for the remote start feature to connect with the vehicle. If your subscriptions are up to date and the remote is not working, reach out to your Lexus service department so they can open a ticket for you.
The feature you mentioned is only to turn off the need to press the unlock button twice to unlock the whole car. If you key fob is not working, you will want to replace the battery in the fob or have your Lexus service department look at it for you. Thanks for checking in.
Hello, I missing car key luxse nx300 2018 in my home and I don't know where it is, do you have any app to search and find the keys los around this car?. Thanks and good to hear from you soon!!!
Hi Pheak, I'm so sorry to hear about your missing key. Unfortunately Lexus does not have a key tracking system. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Best of luck with everything.
Hi! In the US the 2018 NX is compatible for a Lexus retrofit for Apple CarPlay. Lexus did not release an Android Auto retrofit in the US, but it may be available in some other countries.
Hi! The Parking Sensors are either On or Off, there is not an auto setting for that feature. Are you asking about the 360 monitor camera system? What year is your RX450h?
Hi Prakash, I'm not aware of a customization that let's you lock the car with a door open. Here's the full list of customizations from the LexusDrivers website. Perhaps it will help: drivers.lexus.com/content/dam/lexusdrivers/media/lps/2021/2021%20UX%20200%20Customer%20LPS%20Form.pdf All the best!
Hi! From what I have access to, the 2020 NX300 does have the Wireless Lock When Door Opened customization. Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customize > Door Lock Settings 🙂
Okay I think I'm missing something or I may have to replay this. Why does my passenger door unlock when I shift to park? (dangerous) I have a 2021 es. Thanks.
HI Linda, Check the video at 4:22 for the section about Automatic Door Unlock and turn the feature off, instead of "By shift to Park." Then your doors will stay lock when you shift out of gear and into Park. Hope this helps.
Hi Michael, Usually items are grayed out if the car is in motion or if another feature is preventing you from doing the other thing you want to do at the same time. Here are some things to check: make sure the car is turned on and not just in accessory mode, make sure the car is in Park, do not plug anything into a USB ports - they are linked to the audio and multi-media systems. Hope this helps! Thanks for tuning in!
Hi John, The relock timer is for when you unlock the car and do not open a door, then the car will re-lock itself. The Lexus Personalized Settings on your year model can be changed at your Lexus dealership by a Technician. It requires a computer connection and the software they use to access the vehicle systems. Check out the Customizable features section of your Owner's Manual. It is on page 406 in the digital version of the Owner's Manual. I hope this helps. Thanks very much for tuning in!
HI! Thanks for watching. Here's the link for the pdf for the Personalized Settings for you vehicle. What you are looking for is the first item on the list. drivers.lexus.com/lexus-drivers-lscs-theme/PDF/services/2021/21%20RX%20450h.pdf Follow these steps: Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customization > Door Lock Settings > Automatic Door Lock The automatic door locks can be programmed as follows: □ The doors automatically lock when the vehicle speed is 12 mph or higher = By Speed □ The doors automatically lock when the vehicle is taken out of Park and shifted into another range (Default) = By Shift from P
Hi Eletha, Lexus doesn't offer retrofit updates for that feature. Unfortunately they have to be built with them at the factory. I'm not sure about aftermarket options. You would need to check with a reputable company and make sure it doesn't void your warranty. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for tuning in.
Hi @Kagisho! That's interesting. Do you have the Smart Access System on all the doors? Or just the front? It's possible that the build is different here. I can only see the US and Canada manuals so I'm not able to look up the information for South Africa. Do you have the manual? Check in the door lock setting section and in the Customizable Settings section (way at the back). Fingers crossed. It is a nice feature. If you don't have it, then use the key fob and double click the unlock button. That's the fastest way I think :) If you don't have Smart Access, then the buttons on the key fob are the best way to go :)
@@NorthsideLexus The South African "EX" packages don't have these features, apparently stripped features to reduce purchase price according to my local dealer. My Gs450h F-SPORT was even stripped off, and I think its wrong because this is a safety feature, but hey I trust and admire Lexus
Hi. I live in Taiwan and have a 2021 RX350 F-Sport. From what I understand all the Lexus here are imported from Japan. I asked the dealer when I bought the car if he could change the UI from Chinese to English. He said it wasn’t possible. Is this true. I got the feeling that he wasn’t really sure.
HI! Thanks so much for watching. I'm sorry I don't have access to the Owner's Manuals for the vehicles built for your area. I know that in the US we have three language choices, English, Spanish and French, but nothing else is possible. Do you have a Language customization in the MID and in the Setup menu for your Lexus? If so, the languages listed there are the only options for that vehicle based on how they program them from the factory. I hope this helps.
Hi AJ sorry for the delay. I was doing some research for you to get the most accurate answer. I reached out to some of my Lexus gurus to confirm this. Unfortunately the first year that the power open from the tailgate button customization was added was 2018. This is everything listed for your vehicle's Lexus Personalized Settings: www.lexus.com/documents/brochures/service/LX570_LPS.pdf Scroll down to #42, 43 and 44. Those are the only available customizations. Apparently the history of this is that Guests wanted a way to manually open the back door in tight spaces, like lower ceiling garages. Sorry this isn't the answer you were probably looking for. The interior button and the key fob button will be your go to options. Thanks for tuning in!
Hi Stephanie. That's a great question. I've been with Lexus for 21 years and we have never had an auto lock feature, except for an "auto relock" timer that relocks the doors if you've unlocked them on the key fob and then you don't open a door. For example if you click the unlock button, then don't open any doors for some reason, all the door will relock after the selected time. But one a door has been opened the car will remain unlocked until you lock it. Hope this helps :)
Hi! Lexus has a 2018 GS450h or an ES 300h, but in the US there isn't a GS300h so I'm not able to see anything on that model configuration. Sorry about that. All 2018 models will have customizable door lock settings though. If you follow the steps in the tutorial you'll be able to get to that section in your Settings and see what equipment is customizable on your Lexus. Thanks so much for checking!
That's awesome! If you need more detailed help with your ES, make sure to check out the 2021 ES Full Tutorial Deep Dive: th-cam.com/video/q5W9kqukUUE/w-d-xo.html There is a time stamped INDEX in the video description if you want to jump through to different subjects.

Hi! I've noticed that too. It seems like this level of customization is just the norm now for our Lexus vehicle. I think that as they have moved more and more customizable features into the main settings menus on the vehicle they don't seem to have the Lexus Personalized Settings printouts or even PDFs online. It's good to know that you can still customize so many things though. Thanks for being here.
@@cyberentomology What model '04 do you have? I can see if I have any of the PDFs for you. When the website updated, that section about Lexus Personalized Settings seems to say there aren't any files for the new models, but some of the older years have them still.
@@cyberentomology Hi! It seems like the list of customizable settings for your year model is stored in the the TechStream system and can be accessed by a Lexus Technician. They should be able to print a PDF for you, but they will need to make the adjustments for you since the system does not have those setting accessible in vehicle for you to change yourself. I hope this helps get you going in the right direction. Thanks again for being here.
If you are using the Remote Connect feature in the Lexus app, your vehicle will remain locked. If you use the mechanical key, you will need to access the key hole in the driver's door. It is something I review in this video: th-cam.com/video/ALL6ha6dAxI/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps. Thanks so much!
Is there a solution to customize the remote control sitting. I want to start the car by 3 times lock button but, I don’t want to turn the car off when I open the door. Also, if I can control the windows by opening. (Lexus ES 2020) Thank you
Hi Ali, Thanks for checking in. Currently only the 2022 NX has the ability to stay running when you open a door after a remote start. All other current and previous models are designed to turn off with any attempt to open the vehicle. The customization to power open the windows with the key fob can be made at your Lexus dealership in the Service Department. Hope you have a great day!
Hi @C_S Make sure you have the vehicle in Park and turned on, not in accessory mode. Also, some features are also not available when you are on a Bluetooth phone call. Hope this helps.
Perfection personified is how I would sum up all of your tutorials...and you have a wonderful spirit to boot!

@@NorthsideLexus thank you!! This helped and makes it better then having to turn off the car when I make quick stops
Thank you for such a helpful video. Learning a lot. Question i have is that my 2022 gx460 locks all doors when putting to P, but the moment i turn the vehicle off, it unlocks all doors. I really dont like this setting. How can one go about changing this setting? So for instance, i come home to park in my garage, put it to P, doors are all still locked, turn off the car, all doors unlock. I want it stay locked even after turning the car off and only unlock when prompting to manually open the drivers side for safety reasons.
Hi! I like to change this setting also. Here’s how: Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customization > Door Lock Settings > Auto Unlock by Shift to Park > Turn the feature Off.
That should do it for you 👍
@@NorthsideLexus Hey, so doing this does make the door stay unlocked when the shift is to Park, but when the vehicle is turned off, it auto unlocks all doors again. How can I change this?
@@NorthsideLexus Mine still unlocks when the vehicle is turned off. It stays locked when putting into "P" from "D". But when I shut the vehicle off, it unlocks all doors. Any work around this?
@@willbill2209 Hi Will, That is interesting. Technically having the doors unlock when the car is turned off, is not an option you can select form the customization screen in the car. Perhaps it was customized through the computer with a Technician at your Lexus dealership? They have access to a lot of additional settings. See if this link will work for you: drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/resources/manuals-warranty#lexuspersonalizedsettings Scroll down to the Personalized Settings section at the bottom on the right and open the PDF to see more information about Customizable Settings. Look for item #2 under Door Lock Settings. I hope this gets it for you 👍
Key in fob does not unlock my door, is a setting for actual key in door to unlock? The fob key does open the trunk but not mybdoor. Is 350 2014 lexus. Thanks fro great tips
Hi j rago, The key should open the trunk and the doors. It sounds like there may be something wrong that your Lexus service department might need to take a look at your key. I'm sorry I don't have a better fix for you. Thank you so much for tuning in!
How do you lock using the door handles while also making sure the daytime running lights turn off as well?
Hi! When you touch the indentation at the front of the door handle (it can be a black touch pad on some older year models), it will lock the car. Then the headlights, including the Daytime Running Lights will turn off automatically based on the timer setting you have customized. The default is 30 seconds. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in!
My car will not stay locked once I’m parked and the car is off.. (but still sitting in vehicle).. I have the 2023 nx350. Do you have a remedy for this issue?
Hi Chey, If you have put the car in Park and turned off the vehicle, you should be able to lock the car with the lock button in the door handle and it should stay locked. If you put the car in Park, turn off the car, exit the vehicle and lock the car and it doesn't stay locked then you may have an additional key in the vehicle. Have you checked the pouch with the Owner's Manuals for the Wallet Key Card? That will prevent you from being able to lock the car. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here.
Thank you, worked on my 2014 Avalon 👍
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know and for tuing in!
Can you show a video for lexus rx350 2009? I got this car used and the current autounlocking settings are really dangerous, but I can't get them to change using the instructions in the manual (turn key to on position, within ten seconds shift to park or neutral and hold the drivers side control panel lock in lock position for 5 seconds).
Hi Rohmash. I’m sorry I don’t have access to a 2009 or comparable RX model to work on that for you. I have not seen those instructions before. If I can get one from our pre-owned department I’ll check it out and let you know what I learn.
My 2019 NX300 does not start with remote. I have tried many times with 2 press 3rd hold. Happens on my 2024 NX350 faultlessly though. It’s such a bummer.
Hi! Make sure to check the subscription status in your app for the 2019 NX. It is compatible, but will require an up to date Remote and possibly Safety Connect services for the remote start feature to connect with the vehicle. If your subscriptions are up to date and the remote is not working, reach out to your Lexus service department so they can open a ticket for you.
what about the wiresless lock at 6:40 . i accidentally turn it off and no matter i press the keyfob , it doesn’t lock or unlock my car
The feature you mentioned is only to turn off the need to press the unlock button twice to unlock the whole car. If you key fob is not working, you will want to replace the battery in the fob or have your Lexus service department look at it for you. Thanks for checking in.
Hello, I missing car key luxse nx300 2018 in my home and I don't know where it is, do you have any app to search and find the keys los around this car?.
Thanks and good to hear from you soon!!!
Hi Pheak, I'm so sorry to hear about your missing key. Unfortunately Lexus does not have a key tracking system. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Best of luck with everything.
Hi, I have a Lexus nx 2018, I can get factory apple carplay or android auto?
Hi! In the US the 2018 NX is compatible for a Lexus retrofit for Apple CarPlay. Lexus did not release an Android Auto retrofit in the US, but it may be available in some other countries.
So how do you set your driver door to only open when you’re in park all other doors lock
Hi. What model and year is your vehicle? The settings and customizations are different for different vehicles and years.
How do I change my parking assistance ? Change my setting to auto so that I can park safely
Hi! The Parking Sensors are either On or Off, there is not an auto setting for that feature. Are you asking about the 360 monitor camera system? What year is your RX450h?

Hi there, In UX 200, is there "Wireless Lock when door opened" option?
Hi Prakash, I'm not aware of a customization that let's you lock the car with a door open. Here's the full list of customizations from the LexusDrivers website. Perhaps it will help: drivers.lexus.com/content/dam/lexusdrivers/media/lps/2021/2021%20UX%20200%20Customer%20LPS%20Form.pdf

Hi,may I ask do Japan spec 2020 nx300 have wireless lock when door opened function?
Hi! From what I have access to, the 2020 NX300 does have the Wireless Lock When Door Opened customization. Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customize > Door Lock Settings 🙂
Okay I think I'm missing something or I may have to replay this. Why does my passenger door unlock when I shift to park? (dangerous) I have a 2021 es. Thanks.
HI Linda, Check the video at 4:22 for the section about Automatic Door Unlock and turn the feature off, instead of "By shift to Park." Then your doors will stay lock when you shift out of gear and into Park. Hope this helps.
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I have 2022 RX350 and the "Vehicle" option is not available. Grayed out.
Hi Michael, Usually items are grayed out if the car is in motion or if another feature is preventing you from doing the other thing you want to do at the same time. Here are some things to check: make sure the car is turned on and not just in accessory mode, make sure the car is in Park, do not plug anything into a USB ports - they are linked to the audio and multi-media systems. Hope this helps! Thanks for tuning in!
How do i customize my relock timer on my 2007 lexus is250?
Hi John, The relock timer is for when you unlock the car and do not open a door, then the car will re-lock itself. The Lexus Personalized Settings on your year model can be changed at your Lexus dealership by a Technician. It requires a computer connection and the software they use to access the vehicle systems. Check out the Customizable features section of your Owner's Manual. It is on page 406 in the digital version of the Owner's Manual. I hope this helps. Thanks very much for tuning in!
Just bought a 2012 450h I also can’t get the doors to auto lock when driving away. I messed with the door lock settings no joy so far.
HI! Thanks for watching. Here's the link for the pdf for the Personalized Settings for you vehicle. What you are looking for is the first item on the list. drivers.lexus.com/lexus-drivers-lscs-theme/PDF/services/2021/21%20RX%20450h.pdf
Follow these steps: Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customization > Door Lock Settings > Automatic Door Lock
The automatic door locks can be programmed as follows:
□ The doors automatically lock when the vehicle speed is 12 mph or higher = By Speed
□ The doors automatically lock when the vehicle is taken out of Park and shifted into another
range (Default) = By Shift from P
@@NorthsideLexus thx I’ll have a look
Can I have the folding mirrors installed in my 2020ux
Hi Eletha, Lexus doesn't offer retrofit updates for that feature. Unfortunately they have to be built with them at the factory. I'm not sure about aftermarket options. You would need to check with a reputable company and make sure it doesn't void your warranty. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for tuning in.
Good day - I noticed that I don't have the option to configure the "door lock" option in the 2017 ES250. I have to manually lock the doors
Hi @Kagisho! That's interesting. Do you have the Smart Access System on all the doors? Or just the front? It's possible that the build is different here. I can only see the US and Canada manuals so I'm not able to look up the information for South Africa. Do you have the manual? Check in the door lock setting section and in the Customizable Settings section (way at the back). Fingers crossed. It is a nice feature. If you don't have it, then use the key fob and double click the unlock button. That's the fastest way I think :)
If you don't have Smart Access, then the buttons on the key fob are the best way to go :)
@@NorthsideLexus The South African "EX" packages don't have these features, apparently stripped features to reduce purchase price according to my local dealer. My Gs450h F-SPORT was even stripped off, and I think its wrong because this is a safety feature, but hey I trust and admire Lexus
Hi. I live in Taiwan and have a 2021 RX350 F-Sport. From what I understand all the Lexus here are imported from Japan. I asked the dealer when I bought the car if he could change the UI from Chinese to English. He said it wasn’t possible. Is this true. I got the feeling that he wasn’t really sure.
HI! Thanks so much for watching. I'm sorry I don't have access to the Owner's Manuals for the vehicles built for your area. I know that in the US we have three language choices, English, Spanish and French, but nothing else is possible. Do you have a Language customization in the MID and in the Setup menu for your Lexus? If so, the languages listed there are the only options for that vehicle based on how they program them from the factory. I hope this helps.

Can I open tailgate automatically from the button that is on the rear hatch?
Hi AJ sorry for the delay. I was doing some research for you to get the most accurate answer. I reached out to some of my Lexus gurus to confirm this. Unfortunately the first year that the power open from the tailgate button customization was added was 2018. This is everything listed for your vehicle's Lexus Personalized Settings: www.lexus.com/documents/brochures/service/LX570_LPS.pdf Scroll down to #42, 43 and 44. Those are the only available customizations. Apparently the history of this is that Guests wanted a way to manually open the back door in tight spaces, like lower ceiling garages. Sorry this isn't the answer you were probably looking for. The interior button and the key fob button will be your go to options. Thanks for tuning in!
Why does it not have auto lock? Just cost, or was there some reason that they didn't like it?
Hi Stephanie. That's a great question. I've been with Lexus for 21 years and we have never had an auto lock feature, except for an "auto relock" timer that relocks the doors if you've unlocked them on the key fob and then you don't open a door. For example if you click the unlock button, then don't open any doors for some reason, all the door will relock after the selected time. But one a door has been opened the car will remain unlocked until you lock it. Hope this helps :)
Will this work on my 2018 Lexus GS300h 2.5L hybrid
Hi! Lexus has a 2018 GS450h or an ES 300h, but in the US there isn't a GS300h so I'm not able to see anything on that model configuration. Sorry about that. All 2018 models will have customizable door lock settings though. If you follow the steps in the tutorial you'll be able to get to that section in your Settings and see what equipment is customizable on your Lexus. Thanks so much for checking!
It’s for 450h
And door locks, too!

:D :) i will come in Lexus!!!!
Lexus has long since gotten rid of any customer facing information about this on their website.
Hi! I've noticed that too. It seems like this level of customization is just the norm now for our Lexus vehicle. I think that as they have moved more and more customizable features into the main settings menus on the vehicle they don't seem to have the Lexus Personalized Settings printouts or even PDFs online. It's good to know that you can still customize so many things though. Thanks for being here.
@@NorthsideLexus it’s proving rather difficult to find any of that info for an ‘04.
@@cyberentomology What model '04 do you have? I can see if I have any of the PDFs for you. When the website updated, that section about Lexus Personalized Settings seems to say there aren't any files for the new models, but some of the older years have them still.
@@NorthsideLexus RX330, without Nav.
@@cyberentomology Hi! It seems like the list of customizable settings for your year model is stored in the the TechStream system and can be accessed by a Lexus Technician.

I hope this helps get you going in the right direction. Thanks again for being here.

How to lock lexus while its warming up.
If you are using the Remote Connect feature in the Lexus app, your vehicle will remain locked. If you use the mechanical key, you will need to access the key hole in the driver's door. It is something I review in this video: th-cam.com/video/ALL6ha6dAxI/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps. Thanks so much!
Is there a solution to customize the remote control sitting. I want to start the car by 3 times lock button but, I don’t want to turn the car off when I open the door. Also, if I can control the windows by opening.
(Lexus ES 2020)
Thank you
Hi Ali, Thanks for checking in. Currently only the 2022 NX has the ability to stay running when you open a door after a remote start. All other current and previous models are designed to turn off with any attempt to open the vehicle. The customization to power open the windows with the key fob can be made at your Lexus dealership in the Service Department. Hope you have a great day!
Cant access vehicle customisation on my RX.. it's there but will not let me select.
Hi @C_S Make sure you have the vehicle in Park and turned on, not in accessory mode. Also, some features are also not available when you are on a Bluetooth phone call. Hope this helps.
