There are various options available on contemporary Lexus cars that alter the way the vehicle operates. Some can be customized using the car’s navigation screen, but most can’t (especially if the vehicle lacks a navigation/infotainment system). Lexus gives new-car owners the ability to adjust the ones that are dealer-configured, known as Lexus Personalized Settings, once for free, provided that it is done during the initial 30 day/1,000 mile servicing. After that, they bill you hourly (and may or may not agree to do it at all for a used Lexus). The procedure goes like this:
- Schedule a time to visit a Lexus dealership.
- At the scheduled time or date, drive to the dealership.
- You must check the box next to the value you desire for each setting on a paper form that lists some (but not all) options.
- Give that to the mechanics, then wait for them to bring your car in so they may adjust it before bringing it back out.
- Pay.
This can take hours depending on how far you live from the dealership and often costs $50 to $150 per visit, depending on the dealer.
However, there is now a superior methodjust utilize Carista for iOS or Android. It’s an app that connects to your vehicle using an OBD adapter ($29.99 for the official Carista OBD adapter) and lists every parameter that can be modified for your specific vehicle (Carista automatically detects which ones are supported by your car). These settings can be changed with “Pro access,” which costs $9.99 for a month, $19.99 for three months, or $49.99 for a year. Depending on the option you select, this will cost you less than $90. You can modify your own settings whenever you like, as often as you like, on as many cars as you like. Additionally, this enables you to reset dashboard warning lights and offers you access to sophisticated diagnostics of all the vehicle’s components. Absolutely worth it, I would say:

The cost of a brand-new Lexus key fob
Getting a replacement for a vehicle key fob that has broken down can be expensive and time-consuming. If you drive a Lexus or another high-end car, the cost can be higher than you anticipate. Losing your key fob can also be an expensive mistake, but with enough preparation and information, none of these situations needs to be a major source of anxiety for you.
Start by examining the battery and button functionality of the key fob before considering replacement. If you’ve had your automobile for a while, a dead battery might only need to be replaced. Additionally, the buttons may become stuck or cease to operate due to normal wear and use. The simplest form of replacement is this one. The “guts” of your key fob can be swapped out for a newer model for less than $50 if you buy a replacement key fob shell from one of the many online retailers. Install a new battery at the same time; it will only cost you roughly $6. You can use your updated fob immediately.
If you believe the problem with your fob extends beyond normal wear and tear, you should contact your local Lexus dealer or a locksmith that is certified to provide new key and fob services. Both options need you to have your identification, vehicle registration, ownership documentation, and VIN on hand. Getting a full key fob replacement is just the start because luxury car brands are so technologically advanced. To program your fob and make sure it functions exactly as well as the original, you also need the correct help. The about $375 cost of each replacement key fob may be paid if you go via a dealership and your car is still covered by warranty. Consider hiring a locksmith if you’ve lost your key and are locked out. You can take advantage of their emergency service hours and the price may be slightly less than a dealership. Your insurer or a roadside assistance provider may be able to compensate you for their services.
With your Toyota’s keyless remote, can you roll down your windows?
According to studies, a sunny day’s cabin temperature in parked cars can rise to lethal levels in just one hour. Since many automobile owners are familiar with the difficulties of starting up and driving in this oppressive environment, automakers developed a remedy.
In order to cool off the car before getting in, drivers can remotely operate their power windows using their key fob. In some circumstances, the sunroof or moonroof can also be operated remotely.

Repeat the clockwise turn until you hear a second click. Open the door at last.
