It's a very nice car. My wife got one in Silver. It's quite fun to drive in sport+ mode with paddle shifter.

yes, fun and comfort....

Do you know you can remotely start the engine with your key fob.

Press "lock" 3 times; 1...2..., and on the 3rd time, press and hold the button for about 3-5 seconds and then release button. The engine will start automatically after the head light flashing.

didn't know that... thanks

lexus also sent me an app for my smartphone that i can lock, unlock, start my car with... it also will find my car if i forget where i park it... it will also let me limit the speed/distance if someone else is driving my car (like my son, valet parking, etc.)... i'm extremely impressed thus far

it's going to take some time to learn all of the features with this car... it even has a mouse pad on the center console to operate the navi system... the owners manual is about an inch thick but the manual for the navi system/tech package is about 3 inches thick... lots of reading in my future

My Genesis does all this and more. One of the reasons I traded the 370 for it. Paving the road for a future Lexus..."sigh" lol.

Yes, that's a cool app. My wife hardly uses it. She uses the remote starter from the key fob to warm up the engine.

Here is another useful setting that you can do it yourself or have the Dealer set it when you have your free 1st year service done at the dealer. I changed my wife RC from default 3 blinks when you signal the lane change to 5 blinks. I got these instructions from Club Lexus forum.


1. Start with the car completely off.

2. Use the rotary knob on the wiper control to set how many blinks you want. This knob has four positions:

- 1st (bottom) position = 3 blinks
- 2nd position = 5 blinks
- 3rd position = 7 blinks
- 4th (top) position = no automatic blinks

3. Hold the wiper lever in the all-the-way-up position, and keep holding it there

4. With foot OFF brake pedal, press the start button twice so the gauges light up (keep holding that wiper lever up!)


5. Continue to hold the wiper lever all the way up for a count of 8 or more (if you go too fast you will have to start all over!)

6. Let the wiper lever come down one position and hold it there for a count of 8 (don't let it go back to the middle, just let it come down one position)

7. Hold with wiper lever all the way up again for another count of 8

8. Let with wiper lever come down one position again, and hold it for a count of 8

9. Let go of the wiper lever. The right turn signal should flash once. If it doesn't, turn the car off and start again at step 1.

10. Briefly move the turn signal lever down 1 position and let go of it again.

The left turn signal should flash to confirm your setting, but not in the way you might expect. It will blink 1, 2, 3, or 4 times to match where you set the rotary knob on the wiper control, so:

- 1 flash = set for 3 blinks

- 2 flashes = set for 5 blinks

- 3 flashes = set for 7 blinks

- 4 flashes = no auto blinks"

i just downloaded the app (lexus enform remote) that will let me lock, unlock and start my car remotely... it will also locate my car (like when you forget where you park)... it will send me notifications if i forget to lock it or i leave the windows down/moon roof open... and, it allows me to limit the speed/amount of drive time if i leave it with valet or, say, let my son take it out for the evening... technology amazes me sometimes

Same here. I'm pointing out, IIRC, there was a post about the Z35 and how "it needs stuff like this and Nissan hasn't done anything update the current z34". Lexus is a great car no doubt. Perfect DD. Power, tech, luxury. On a side note, my friend who sold his 135 to get an M3 then sold that to get a 14 Cayman s JUST traded that in yesterday for a 13 Audi S5. All within 12 months. Guy goes through cars like underwear. Lol. S5 is a beauty.

nice! i like this version better.

The RC needs to be lowed a little bit. The stock height is way too high. Are you planning to lower yours. The springs for AWD should be available. My wife got hers lowered with RSR springs and she is loving the car even more.

i'm not planning any mods in the near future... although i do agree that it would look much better lowered... just loving it right now and trying to learn all of the features... the tech package in this thing is awesome and quite extensive... honestly, i'm also loving the comfort of the ride compared to the z too... i know that they're completely different types of cars but going from the z to the rc is night and day as far as ride comparison... i believe the stock michelins have a lot to do with that too
