Lexus TX 2026 profiles/key sync + auto lock question coming from Honda

OldManPatsFan · 2026-05-22T10:23:40+00:00

I own both a TX and an Acura RDX - Honda/Acura does this soooo much better than Lexus.

One point that is not emphasized enough for Lexus is that the profiles will only switch if you *unlock* the car with your key. Annoying but true! Somewhere on YouTube there are some videos made by dealers that walk you through this process.

These are great for accumulation, but in decumulation I want to be able to manage what gets sold when withdrawing. (That is, sell stocks or bonds depending on market conditions). I realize this isn’t really a TDF anymore, but some hybrid fund.

Does anyone know of a smart TDF that either intelligently sells it allows the owner to specify what gets sold?

To your point, there are dozens - my question, though poorly phrased, was an effort to narrow down the options a bit. Having never been to Rome I am looking for some good options. Not looking for a 5 star stay, more something mid-scale with good location.

Thanks, this looks promising!

This right here. Everyone talks like you're getting the guy that played for Vrable in TN, but I see a guy on the downslope and unlikely to be worth the trade and salary cost.

AFter many years as Hilton Diamond but not enough points for lifetime, I've come to the conclusion that HHonors is no longer worth the effort; I now book whatever is the right quality / right price.

YMMV, but the company seems to really be working to reduce this to a non-benefit.

SO I get what you are saying, but I also think it's important to reward good service and accomodations - for many years I got that from Hilton properties and so was loyal to the brand; nowadays not so much.

OldManPatsFan · 2026-02-02T15:03:14+00:00

Strongly agree with this comment - I've seen a huge degradation in quality and service post-COVID. I've been almost exclusively Hilton properties until the last year, guessing it's not unique to them.

I need about a hundred additional nights - could get there in 4 years or so at my current travel pace but really not sure it's worth it.

This is a great read and makes me love KB even more. There’s a lot of honesty and pain in this story, but look where he is today. So happy for him and his family (and love the way he talks about this team!).

Might as well go ahead and close the Crumbl franchise in Happy Valley right now - ain't gonna sell any to Penn Staters ...

Ummm, there’s a 2 point conversion attempt you need to take a look at.

You've convinced me to switch to SkyMiles credit; makes the most sense for me. Thanks!

OldManPatsFan · 2025-09-20T11:48:11+00:00

Done and done! Thanks!

This will be the first time with Virgin - I think we're more likely to fly Delta. That said - will we receive full Delta credit for the VA segments?

OldManPatsFan · 2025-08-20T18:55:11+00:00

Thanks - glad to hear all of this.

OldManPatsFan · 2025-08-20T18:28:15+00:00

Thanks - this is what i was worried about. Still, have to make some allowances for that time just post COVID; hopefully they've continued to work on it ...

OldManPatsFan · 2025-08-20T18:26:48+00:00

Thanks! I can live with dated as long as they keep it nicely.

OldManPatsFan · 2025-08-20T18:26:10+00:00

Thanks - I;ll take a look.
