You are welcome!

Let me know if you need need help with the application!

Gabriel, I'm just preparing for the OBD2 arrival. I've downloaded Torque Pro. When connected to the dongle, how will I access the customisable settings you outlined? Thanks

I have 2 of them. Both are working fine with Torque apk, but only one with Carista.

For the apk I use

Purchased and on way. Thanks! 👍

Today I have enabled the opening/closing of the windows using the remote. A generic obd2(£4 ebay) and carista app are needed.  "Full version" 😇 of the app is available online.

Can be done at the dealer, probably for free, but requires booking, travel, waiting, etc. 

Things I've used: Android phone, apk and Bluetooth obd2

So if you already have a Bluetooth obd2 it is going to be free.

If anyone needs more guidance please let me know. 

Gabriel,

Great posts, thanks. Can you link the £4 device you got off eBay please?

Cheers

@Don C Does this apply to the 2018 model? - I have a 2018 car with AHS, but can't find the pages you are referring to.

Interesting... this may explain my ignorance...?

Wow, I did not know this!!! Thanks 👍

This is not something I've noticed I'm afraid.

Yes, not everyone understands climate control (but I don't think that's the OP's issue here?)... the temperature you set on the "dial" is the temperature you want the car to be, not the temperature you want coming out of the vents....

...

It's a Lexus.

The 300h doesn’t carry nearly the same weight in batteries.   

Indeed. So, do no PHEVs have pan roofs? 🤔

Regarding the pan roof, you won’t get it on the 450h until it’s been tested to meet the rollover test with the weight of the battery under the floor.  We’ll have to wait for all the crash testing for that and then only if it passes.  It’s why they have that cross bar that the 300h never had.  

That makes a lot of sense. So I wonder if the 300h didn't have a pan roof when it first came out 🤔

1. On long Continental journeys the electric motors would only be recharged twice using Tesla converted pumps (if possible). MPG is poor.

Therefore the NX Phev is compromised unless you significantly extend Trip Journey Time.

2.As the UXe, the design range is compromised in the Real World .

Convince me I am wrong.

The 450h+ is compromised anyway because no ML or panoramic roof! 😆

Still smarting....

Oh, and welcome! You'll have no regrets joining the Lexus camp. You don't say which model you're looking at, but I'm expecting a 2017 model of any probably won't be Carplay or AA upgradeable. My 2019 NX is the earliest NX model that could be upgraded, for example. Other members may be able to comment on other models.

Hi!

https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/warranty/lexus-relax/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw_fiLBhDOARIsAF4khR3V0bJW7zaMo64Q-js4_eNWE0H9fKeMXqjhHR0tz7glGU8lSuFJ5_0aAs04EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&lexReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

Any Lexus less than 10 years old with or without a service history, then serviced by Lexus, will get a 1 year warranty. Is my understanding.

Has anyone experienced problems with parking sensors regularly going into fault. Had this on my previous NX too. 

Hi John, yes this is a common problem in the NX experienced by me and many others. See the thread here....

https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/122595-parking-sensor-issue/

Only Eco and Normal are remembered for the next start-up.

It is a deal breaker as the Specs are imperfect & the 2022 model is too similar to the MK 1 model & costs 10% more.

Tel

I think it's slightly better looking than the current one (and I love the current one) but the spec problem is the thing. I'll wait.

The unavailable option of the pano roof on the 450h+ is apparently to do with overall vehicle weight and the need to keep this down so that EV mode achieves maximum range. Likewise the ML sound situation on this model is I am told due to space. 

Lol, yes but they need to find a way... 😁

I shall still be really jealous as soon as I see someone driving round in one!! 😁

 Probably they figured out that pan-roof and ML would not be deal breaker for most of buyers, so they can get away by not offering it. 

Well, it's a deal breaker for me, so no order (and I was ready to go) 😞 I'll hang on and see if they amend the specification sometime in the future.

Hi @Steve Oliver 

I was just taking another look at the price list\brochure and it appears that you can get the panoramic roof on a 450h+ if you go for the non-F Sport version (with Premium Pack) and wondered if you were aware of that?

Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick here.

Andy, thanks for this... I tweeted Lexus UK about the 450h and pan roof, and their reply was "Hi Steve. There is a sunroof, but no panoramic roof available on the NX 450h+. This is due to weight saving and emissions."  - nothing about the NX with Premium Pack having the option... and not the PP+ ??? 🤔 Perhaps the PP is so much lighter than the PP+ and Takumi trim etc that they can put a pan roof on..... or not...! 🙄

It's a complete embarrassment:

Maximum EV speed mph/kph written around the wrong way

 

The 450h+ can have a pano roof for the base grade with Premium Pack:

then it can't:

 

 

Base NX grade has a spare wheel:

then it only has tyre repair goo:

 

 

base grade 450h+ with premium pack apparently has both 2-way and 4-way lumbar support for the driver:

 

cannot spell litres:

 

some random number 1 (rear 1) which has no reference:

 

page/column formatting errors:

You missed that only the 350h Takumi gets the ML audio.... really...!?!

I thought it was standard and the sunroof was the option?

With the Takumi level spec, you get a sunroof but I don't think there's an option to have a pan roof 😞

I have registered my interest on a 450h+ with premium plus pack and pano roof. The only thing I am concerned about is the 20 inch wheels with run flat tyres. 

Pano roof on 450h+ ? I don't think it's an option...?
