#34 of 39 Improvements I'd like to see by kyxydj Sep 14, 2008 (11:07 am)
The outside temperature gauge on the instrument panel takes too long to adjust to temperature changes. It's slow and also skips many temperatures on the °F scale. Once I saw my temperature toggling between 48° and 50°, and 49° was non-existent, the Lexus totally skipped it. I've also never seen 74, 76, 85, 87 and a bunch of other numbers, the Lexus outside temp. gauge never stops at these numbers. I've owned Lexus SUV's since 2001, and they are all the same. Many features of the vehicle are so high-tech, you'd think they could get this right.   And a "miles to empty" (or projected range) readout somewhere on the instrument panel would be nice on the RX400h, I think they have this feature on the traditional gas engine RX models.

Replying to: kyxydj (Sep 14, 2008 11:07 am) Due to the POORLY (thoughtless...??) designed mounting of the OAT sensor it is too easily influenced by radiant heating from the nearby A/C condensor and engine radiator so DSP, Digital Signal Processing, must be used to "smooth" the readout.   Due to possible variations in driving style before and after "miles to empty" is not a predictable or reliable computation and is therefore being dropped from many computational displays.

1.idiot light to indicate fog lights are on   2. ipod connector   3. elapsed time trip clock   4. free upgrade for nav. system- its only a dvd to be copied into the system!   5. lights in the front and rear bumper relocated so they are not so prone to parking lot smashes   6. strong bumper material that will not scratch or dent so easily Replies to this message: wwest (Oct 24, 2008 8:34 am)

Replying to: bobgail (Oct 23, 2008 11:14 am) "...1. idiot light to indicate fog lights are on..."   Since the Toyota/Lexus fog light implementation makes the fog lights less than useless, actually a detriment to your night time distance vision, why not just pull the fog light fuse and be done with it.

Do you suppose one could transplant the upcoming Lexus ESh HSD system into an RXh and have a FE RX..???
