I expected my clocks to change automatically to adjust for the end of British Summer Time today, but they didn't, it seems I have to manually go in and switch off the Daylight Saving Time option in the infotainment settings. I have got auto adjust from GPS switched on. Surprising... my phone and heating boiler can do it... Is this everyone else's experience too?

Herbie, thanks for your suggestion, I didn't know you could do that and £3.14 later (1 hour access), I can confirm that the NX has two Three Way Catalytic Converters, one in the engine compartment (the main one) and the other a much smaller one (it seems) on the very front of the angled front section of the exhaust system, and I suspect not easy to access at all as it's just below the engine compartment. The box that is visible under the car is not a cat, it's the main exhaust muffler. Useful exercise and I feel much better now 😉 Thank you very much for the suggestion. 👍

Thanks Andy, all sounds very promising. As you say, we could do with some confirmation from Lexus in some way. The only reason I'm not looking at my own car is because it's absolutely heaving down outside and has been all day! 🌧️😳 Cheers, I'll see what I can find out.

Please see this thread, and in particular Nicos' response regarding the position of the NX cat.

Nicos, that's very interesting indeed - does anyone else have any thoughts on this please? If it's true (and I have no reason to disbelieve it), that's great news. 🙂 Cheers, Nicos

Hi Kevin, I think the NX has an alarm that would be sensitive to movement of the type you describe, it's a matter of whether it would be moved enough during a theft to trigger the alarm. Still no one saying they've had their NX cat stolen though, so good so far.

Well Herbie, perhaps it would have helped if I'd said "Hi folks, I am a little concerned at the moment..." but thanks for your help anyway. Your Dad was probably right.

Same. Following!

Ok folks, I'm quite petrified at the moment of parking my new NX in public car parks around the UK, in case it's targeted by catalytic converter thieves. Has anyone on here with a 300h had theirs stolen? Or, has anyone secured theirs somehow?

I didn't realise you could route trace, interesting...

Well, that's a relief! 😨

That's what I'm hoping 👍

Anyone fitted mudflaps to their NX 2018 on? How easy? There's a little gap of paint behind each wheel that's not protected by plastic and they're worrying me.... 😳

I haven't an answer to your questions I'm afraid, but as a new F Sport Takumi pack owner, I'm interested to know if you find out 👍😁

Like Daniel suggested - I would probably tweet to them at @LexusUK and @lexus to get their attention - and ask them where to send your complaint. Their customer service number is 0345 129 5484. Or you can complete the form at https://www.lexus.co.uk/forms/customer-relations-contact-us.

I can't help thinking that you should be sending your words to Lexus Customer Services rather than just the dealership!

Thanks Peter! 👍

Ok, so the Mark Levinson audio apparently has 14 speakers in the NX (on the grades in which you get ML). I can only find 12. See the image below. I can only see 12 in that too.... Anyone?

I don't think this is in the manual as applicable to the FSport. It's supposed to only apply to the Takumi grade now (which is now the top grade in 2019). Ie. Only in cars with seat memory.

Hi all, Yes, seems this feature is available on the F-Sport, without the Seat Memory function. How to do it? Well, this is how I did it... 1. Start the hybrid system and keep your foot on the brake. 2. Put it into reverse while keeping your foot on the brake. 3. Press the R or L button on the door mirror switch. The mirror will probably shuffle a bit and stop. Move the mirror into your preferred position when reversing (eg. down towards the ground). 4. Switch to the other mirror and do the same, all while still in reverse but holding the car still on the brake. (I don't know if there's a way to do this without the hybrid system running.) 5. And here's the thing - leave the switch in the R or L position (not centre), and the settings you've set will take effect every time you put the car in reverse; and reset to normal position when not in reverse. Voila. Steve

Ok, I'm a little confused (easy to do) but in a happy way. I have recently acquired a new NX 300h F-Sport with Takumi Pack. I believed that the function whereby the door mirrors dipped down so that you could see the kerb when you're in Reverse, only worked on cars with the Seat Memory Function - which the F-Sport doesn't have. Then today, I was playing with the mirrors and seem to have managed to switch on the function. I can explain how I did it if anyone wants to know, but I wondered - was I wrong about not being meant to have it, or have I "discovered something"...? 🤔 Thoughts?

Have to say that that wasn't my experience when I tried it - I have got wifi working now, but I will switch back and check. As for your latter question, it's not really the Street View, more petrol prices etc. I used the SV as an example.

Yes, but as established, the Bluetooth connection doesn't provide all the services you may need, eg. Street View and Petrol prices...

OK - so I sorted this. I installed an app called MacroDroid on my phone - which is a brilliant automation app. I created two rules - one "If Bluetooth connects to Lexus", then "Enable Hotspot" and another "If Bluetooth disconnects from Lexus", then "Disable Hotspot" - so simple and works perfectly. 😄 😄 Happy bunny.

Interesting, will have to look into that, cheers, certainly an option if so. 👍👍
