teepee Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi I am new to all this, and its my first time trying this type of "blog" I am a recent convert (from x5)- and so far like the RX450h - its very different from the diesel of the bmw - how ever I,m hoping for good things. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THE FOLLOWING? 1. I read and have heard a lot about the Auto start function and would like to have it "activated" on my car- can some one help me ? 2. I also saw on the forum that a RX450H owner got his dealer to turn the warning chimes for seat belt ( ding, ding, ding etc.) to turn off for front and rear passengers -can some one help me ? 3. I have just organised for the kit to "fix the grey out " of the nav and phone - if any one wants / needs advice 4. coming from a BMW which had a tv in it - does any one have any clues on how to get on integrated into my ML dvd screen? Is there any way to make the mirrors angle downwards (while in reverse) to actually be of some use and let you see the ground / curb - where it should be pointing ?? 6. With regard to the seat belt warning- I have tried the “start/stop button- odo 30sec. etc. “ Procedure with no avail. Does anyone know if it will work, or if there is a special procedure for the RX450H? thanx in advance - ( hope this post works) TEEPEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Beema fan & am tossing up between the RX450H & the X5 40D Sports & wondering (a) what induced you to choose the RX over your X5 & (B) how do they compare now that you've been driving the RX for a bit?

Cheers... Hi, The x5 is a very different car, its a drivers car one u interact with. 450h is a quite subtle ride that is more refined and easier to do. the x5 fully optioned up ( which does not have as many "toys" as the rx) costs 30 - 40 % more!! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pa450h Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi, Answer to 4b on making your side mirrors point down when reversing, just ensure your mirror adjustment is on - either L or R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
