How To Change Lexus Personalized Settings

How to change Lexus Personalized Settings

Modernistic Lexus cars come with many settings that alter the behavior of the vehicle. Some are configurable through the navigation screen in the machine, simply most are non (especially if the car doesn't have a navigation/infotainment system). The ones that are dealer-configured are called Lexus Personalized Settings and Lexus offers their new-car owners the option to configure them once for free, provided it's done during the initial 30 day/1,000-mile service. After that, they charge yous past the hour (and may or may not concord to exercise it at all for a used Lexus). The procedure works as follows:

Get an date at a Lexus dealership.
Drive to the dealership at the arranged fourth dimension/engagement.
Fill out a paper form that lists some settings (not all) where you have to bank check the box adjacent to the value you want for that particular setting.
Give that to the mechanics, wait for them to get your car in, change the settings, and get information technology out.
Pay.

Depending on how far y'all alive from the dealership, this tin can have hours and usually costs $50 — $150 each time, depending on the dealer.

But at present in that location'due south a ameliorate manner: just use Carista for Android or iOS. It's an app that connects to your car via an OBD adapter ($29.99 for the official Carista OBD adapter) and gives you a list of all settings that can be changed for your particular machine (Carista automatically detects which ones are supported by your car). Changing these settings requires "Pro" access, but it only costs $9.99 for a 1 calendar month, $xix.99 for a 3 months or $49.99/yr for a yearly subscription, and so y'all're out less than $90 (depending on the option you cull) and you can change your own settings whenever you like, as many times equally you like, on as many cars as you like. Plus, this also gives you access to advanced diagnostics of all systems in the car and allows you to reset warning lights on the dash. Totally worth it, I'd say :)
