Just been on Quidco and and compare the market, Admiral, Elephant, Diamond and Ford Insure have all now appeared given quotes ar £600 - 650 for an LBX Takumi Design, still about £50 more than my current NX350h, but less than the £870 quoted by Lexus insurance a few days back. With Quidco, also £45 cashback on offer.

LBX Encrypted CANBUS
Biffo replied to UX250HTAK's topic in Lexus LBX Owners Club - The All-New Lexus LBX
Reply from Lexus Customer Relations received states:- We have requested information from an internal department who have advised that the LBX has been counter measured against CanBus theft. Most Lexus vehicles have the latest electrical platform that prevents CanBus theft. Other security measures that the LBX features includes: Alarm/anti-theft (with siren and two sensors) Engine immobiliser Two motion door lock VIN Etching Locking wheel nuts (Thatcham approved) -

LBX Encrypted CANBUS
Biffo replied to UX250HTAK's topic in Lexus LBX Owners Club - The All-New Lexus LBX
I have asked Lexus customer relations about CANBUS thefts/security on the LBX, got a message back that they have requested information from an internal team, and they will get back in touch as soon as they have a reply. -
From previous post I have had the door freeze issue on my 2022 NX350h, on annual service in September I asked the service department about any solutions, and there is:- ref Bulletin BE-00971L-TME Parts were ordered, and I have had 4 new door handles fitted - so far all OK

As Hayzee listed above (follow the Link in the post) there is motion detection built into key fobs. I closed and locked the NX, and put the key on the floor by the drivers door while I checked my tyre pressures. Around 5 minutes later I tried to open the door and it remained locked, moved the key on the floor slightly with my foot and door would then open. Looks like if the key (or keys) remain stationary for a few minutes they go to sleep and stop transmitting, hopefully preventing any relay thefts. Don’t keep my keys in my pocket when indoors so it will be stationary. My wife carries the 2nd key in her bag but it is deactivated so hopefully there is no transmissions from either key, so for me one less worry on how the NX could be stolen. Model is NX350h Premium pack , delivered in September 2022 manufactured around June 2022 - be interesting to see if it’s standard on all NX’s or just those after a certain build date.

NX 2022 delivery date
Biffo replied to KoeNX's topic in Lexus NX300h / NX200t / NX350h / NX450h Club
Had it one month (after 9 month delivery wait). Much improved performance compared to my previous NX300h Premium Sport; averaging 46 mpg after 800 miles mostly on 13 mile journeys to / from work. No sequential indicators or cornering lights which I don’t miss. Auto heating for front seats and steering wheel are very good. New infotainment very good as well, smaller display is fast, clear and plenty big enough for me, couple of hiccups with profile not loading message, but seems to have settled down. Software has updated itself twice since I have had it, once in the showroom when I picked it up and about a week ago. About the only thing I miss is electric seats, but the ones fitted are comfortable anyway. Very pleased, an excellent upgrade in my view -

NX 2022 delivery date

My 350h Premium pack was ordered 23/12/21 then modified a few days later (Decided to change paint from blue to sonic grey), have now collected it from dealer ( Lexus Coventry) on 10th September; very strange on the varying build / delivery times. -
NX 2022 delivery date
Biffo replied to KoeNX's topic in Lexus NX300h / NX200t / NX350h / NX450h Club
My 350h with Premium Pack ordered last week of December showed left factory on 23rd July, and is due in September for collection according to dealer -
Just Fitted (2 weeks ago a Toyota battery 2880 YZZZJ as a direct replacement for the Panasonic battery in my sons recently acquired 2014 GS450h. Actually ordered 2880 YZZJA - recommended in another forum post in this forum but I think that has know been superce3ded. Dropped in and fitted with no problems; width OK the hold down bracket went over as well :

NX 2022 delivery date

I too ordered NX 350h with premium pack just before January price increase, to keep price just below£40k. I have been told by dealer, and after contacting Lexus via chat on one of their on line media blogs, that this price will be honoured on collection (August / September is rough estimated delivery) and that the luxury car tax will not be payable. see discussion (it was a bit drawn out!) here https://mag.lexus.co.uk/new-lexus-nx/comment-page-6/#comments -
Had an offer to change from 2018 nx to 2020 model; before I did I tried a UX250h (also have had one as a courtesy car). UX has better performance and a great hybrid system. Did the figures for roughly similar spec vehicles, on PCP - UX with a few option packs came out as around £40 month more a month than NX300h Premium sport. NX in my view was better, bigger (but not excessively so), obviously more roomy, higher driving position for better visibility, 4 wheel drive (ux quote was for 2 wheel drive version, 4 wheel drive version bumps price even more) and in my opinion a better interior. Went for the the NX. Hope they fit RAV 4 engine in the next NX release as even though there is nothing wrong with the existing engine it does feel behind the latest generation hydrid units that Toyota/ Lexus are using. NX is a lovely place to be when driving, fit Michelin across Climates to improve ride, and gives you genuine all weather ability. MPG from 38 - 42 mpg over 9500 miles the UX will be better than this. Try them both at your nearest dealership and then decide, everyone has different requirements

Couple more pictures showing Apple car play - Main Apple menu on screen, and Google maps satellite view - will need to set everything else up. -
