How to adjust the sensitivity of the Lexus joystick controller

It is commonly reported that the Lexus joystick is really sensitive. Even in OEM, the joystick is difficult to use. This is because the joystick does not return to the center position like regular joysticks. When using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, the joystick moves all over the place. We've determined that there are two settings for you to adjust to make the joystick much more easier to use:

Adjust the Force Feedback Setting

1. Access Setup on the Lexus side

2. Select General
