Hi @Mincey My post on a similar topic may interest you......

I recently did a long trip (over 600 miles there and back) in my NX350h (same size wheels as yours) with a full load (i.e. myself and a front passenger plus luggage in the trunk and across the folded-down rear seats - all bar the kitchen sink in fact 😀) and the car\tyres were fine leaving them at the recommended 2.3 bar. In fact it didn't even occur to me to do otherwise.

If you like Bjorn Riis then I would recommend you take a listen to the band that he is the founding member of - a band called Airbag.

Hi @Mincey I had a similar issue with my AAWireless dongle too where it would cut out at the same place on my commute every time. The developer recently issued a firmware upgrade (version 2.0) for the device which, coupled with the latest version of the accompanying phone app (2.14.0), allows you to manually change the WiFi channel that the device uses to communicate with the phone. I found that changing this channel to one in the higher range (153 in my case, if I remember correctly) solved the problem. Maybe worth a try for you.

I find this works OK for me - much better than it did in my previous 2018 NX in fact. The system emits a brief "blip" as the car approaches a speed camera - any audio that is playing is muted slightly for a split second. It works for me even if I don't have a route set on the SatNav. I find that the alert can be a bit premature so maybe listen out for it a bit sooner?

Hi Ken - I thought you weren't going to look at it anymore 😜

Hi Hugh, Welcome to the forum. The app that people are referring to is the Lexus Link app (available for IOS and Android). This does have the facility to track your order but can be very hit and miss I'm afraid. You will find more information on this (and the NX in general) on the dedicated NX forum:- https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/forum/182-lexus-nx300h-nx200t-nx350h-nx450h-club/

Hi Jay, Welcome to the forum. Am I right in saying that you own a NX450h? If so, then you may find answers to some of your questions on the dedicated NX forum:- https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/forum/182-lexus-nx300h-nx200t-nx350h-nx450h-club/

As far as I know, unfortunately this is not possible during the actual trip - unless (and I'm guessing here) you reset the overall statistics in the Trip Information section of the Infotainment system at the start of each trip? As you probably know already, you only get to see the current trip's MPG figures (in the centre dash) when you switch off the car.

I too got the VSC recall letter today. Taking the car to the dealers next week.

I haven't driven a RX, so can't offer any advice on that, but what I would say is don't rule out the NX. The minor niggles that you have seen reported on the NX forum are, like you say, minor. IMHO I don't think the NX is any less "bullet proof" than a RX of a similar age and mileage. Yes, the NX is smaller and less powerful but do you need anything bigger/more powerful? It will transport 4 adults in comfort and the boot space is sufficient for most every day tasks. You could probably pick up a relatively low mileage, facelifted, 1st generation NX (2018 onwards) with the options you desire for something close to your budget (£30k). Just my humble opinion and of course, as others have said - take a test drive in both.

Just to add..... what's curious about the app is that although it's reporting of the car's journeys and current location is very hit and miss, it seems to be able to accurately report the current mileage and remaining fuel percentage. Very weird.

I (and, I believe, others on here) have the same problems. It currently thinks my car is at a location I visited nearly a week ago and I've driven the car multiple times since then. I've given up referring to it now. The app has been demoted to my "app drawer" rather than my homepage.

The image in my Lexus Link app reflects my car exactly (i.e. exterior paint; alloys; interior trim). I can see from the image you attached that it looks like it is showing Black\Rich Cream interior (identical to mine) - you can see the cream on the "shoulder" of the front seat. I wouldn't be too concerned about this as it is more likely to be an error with the app or Lexus' IT systems (both notoriously flaky IMHO). Wouldn't hurt to double check this with your dealer though, just in case.

I switched to Lexus Insurance when I recently purchased my 2022 NX. I didn't expect to go with them when I submitted my details for a quote but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it pretty much matched the quote provided by my insurer at the time plus others that I had researched via the "comparison" websites. So I took the plunge. As has been said before on this forum - the true value of an insurer is only really discovered if/when you need them following an accident or theft and how well they deal with it for you. I'm hoping that having the Lexus brand behind them, Lexus Insurance will not let me down in that respect. Also I can rest assured that all repairs will be carried out by Lexus workshops (using genuine Lexus parts) without any quibble. Well that's my thinking anyway 🙏

I assume that you have the automatic door lock function set to activate when you take the car out of Park. This can be deactivated so that the doors will only lock automatically when the car reaches a certain speed (something like 3 mph I believe). This setting can be changed in the same place in the Infotainment system as that referenced in my post above.

You can change the settings so that the doors will automatically unlock when you shift into Park. On the Infotainment screen go to Settings > Vehicle customize > Door control > Auto unlock

Hi Kenny. I haven't seen this before I'm afraid. Just to rule one thing out - do you get this same error when you connect your phone directly to the car with the cable (i.e. taking the AAWireless dongle out of the equation)?

I agree with @Steve Oliver - I have been using the AAWireless device for a couple of years now (I was one of the early adopters) and it has been pretty much flawless . I've used it in my previous 2018 NX300h and now in my 2022 NX350h via a Samsung s10+. The only issue I have had with it is that it drops it's connection to the headunit at the exact same spot on my commute every time (must be due to some outside wireless interference at that location) but then reconnects a few seconds later so it's not a showstopper. It's proven so popular however that there are currently long waiting times for an order so not sure if you would be able to get one before Lexus potentially upgrade the infotainment system to support wireless AA itself. Again, as Steve says, success may depend on the model of your phone so do some research first before ordering. Also be aware that anything on Indiegogo is basically a crowdfunding enterprise. Check out the Comments section of the Indiegogo site that Steve referenced, plus there is a Reddit forum for it - https://www.reddit.com/r/AAWireless/

I don't believe that there is a minimum distance - the last journey in the app for me is showing the short trip (278 yards supposedly) that the mechanic took returning the car to me after the spot weld check. My subsequent journey home from the dealership isn't showing however 🤔

Same for me. Sometimes it's right up to date (in terms of the last journey at least) whilst other times it's a few journeys behind or misses some completely. @hintonwood Not a showstopper but I will be interested to hear what Lexus have to say about it.

I had cause to pop into my local dealership this morning so I asked them to check out the spot welds while I was there. Although my car was showing as not affected on both recall checker sites, it seemed too good an opportunity to pass up. No fault found fortunately. My dealership only received the notification from Lexus on Tuesday and mine was the first one they had checked. NX350h built in early December. Hopefully Lexus are just being over cautious and the problem isn't too much of an issue..

@Marlinleg Talking about the car specifically, it won't matter what SIM provider you choose. I would suggest you choose a provider that meets all your general requirements such as cost, mobile coverage and a package that will give you sufficient amounts of data each month.

@hintonwood many thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've checked my NX (a December build) against the DVLA site you mentioned and also against Toyota's own checker (https://forms.toyota.co.uk/recall-checker?lexus=true) and neither show a recall for mine. I'll keep checking over the next few days. Please keep us up to date with how it goes for you.

Hi Phillip. To answer your questions:- Lexus Link Pro in the new 2022 NX runs off of an in-car SIM card (so totally independent of any SIM card you have in your mobile phone). My understanding is that Lexus offer a 4 year free subscription to the Lexus Link Pro service - after which it will become chargeable. The functionality of this will not be affected by what mobile phone you have or what phone service provider you use. Inbuilt sat-nav systems use GPS to function so in theory you could use both the inbuilt sat-nav and Lexus Link Pro without bringing your mobile phone on a journey. You would only need to use your phone (and it's mobile data) if you wanted to listen to music that is streamed to your phone (and subsequently into the car's audio system via Bluetooth) or wanted to use other phone-based applications via Apple CarPlay for example. [Ignore this last paragraph if you wish - I don't want to confuse matters 😉 Also your iPhone is quite old so may not be able to offer much of this extra functionality anyway] Hope this helps and Happy Easter to you too.
