Best accessories for Lexus RX owners?

Question

I recently bought a 2022 Lexus RX 350 and I’m trying to make it more practical for commuting and weekend trips without wasting money on stuff I’ll barely use. I found a few lists recommending all-weather mats, a cargo organizer, and a wireless CarPlay adapter, but reviews are all over the place and some accessories seem to fit only certain RX trims or model years. I also saw people mention roof crossbars, but I’m not sure they’re worth it for occasional camping gear. My budget is around $300 to start. Which accessories have actually been useful for other RX owners?

For a $300 starter setup, I’d look at these instead:WeatherTech TechShade Lexus RX 2020-2022 Custom Fit — Not exciting, but it keeps the cabin noticeably cooler and protects the dash. Better for daily commuting than most gadgets, though it takes a few seconds to fold up.VIOFO A119 Mini 2 2K HDR GPS Dash Camera — My pick if you want something genuinely useful. Good image quality and compact, but budget for a hardwire kit if you want parking mode. Make sure the install doesn’t interfere with Lexus safety sensors.Yakima JetStream 50-inch Roof Rack Crossbars with TimberLine Towers — Worth considering only if you’ll carry bulky camping gear a few times a year. They’re sturdy, but pricey and add wind noise. Verify fitment for the 2022 RX’s roof rails before ordering. I’d start with the sunshade and dash cam, then add bars later if camping becomes a regular thing.

TL;DR: Start with protection, not gadgets. I’ve had issues with generic mats fitting poorly, so I’d get Lexus OEM All-Weather Floor Liners 2022 RX 350 (about $170) and WeatherTech Cargo Liner 2022 Lexus RX 350 (around $130). Unfortunately, wireless CarPlay adapters haven’t been as reliable as expected. Skip crossbars for now unless you regularly carry bulky gear; they’re pricey for occasional camping.
