RX400h 2005 noobie questions

[Saphian]

Hi there,

Any tips to get me up to speed with a newly acquired RX400h would be much appreciated.

Specifically, folding mirrors - coming from a BMW where the mirrors fold at the press of a button with the ignition key removed - strange that the mirrors  can't first be used to check it's safe to open the door before being folded because the key has to be in the ignition and by the time they do fold, I need to physically turn and look behind before opening the door...or do they need resetting?

Also, what's the best way to get an Iphone to work with this car when it won't transfer the phone book to it?

Thanks in advance

That's normal. For Iphone connectivity I would just replace the head unit with something made by Kenwood but it's each to their own really.
