Just to add to the discussion, I had a Ghost II fitted to my NX350H (MY24) over 6 months ago, and it's been faultless. No battery issue here. I contacted Autowatch to recommend a fitter in my area, and specifically asked for one who'd fitted the Ghost II to a recent NX model. They duly obliged.

As others have pointed out on this forum, until Lexus decide to produce and offer solutions to this Canbus attack vulnerability, for existing ES and NX models (not to mention the rest of the range), and publicise that they're taking action to address this problem retrospectively, the bad guys are not going to ease off. Predictably, now they've found a low cost method of stealing high value vehicles, it's increasingly evident organised criminals have moved in to strip cars within a day or two of them being taken. Yes, the latest NX models are purported to have some element of Canbus encryption, but that's not going to stop the miscreants having a go, by which time they've caused many 1000's of pounds worth of damage as a minimum. That's notwithstanding the fact you may have also paid many hundreds of £'s extra to get an after market immobiliser/tracker fitted. The impact of existing thefts has already crippled Lexus insurance costs, and I don't see that situation changing any time soon, least not until Lexus intervene in a positive way. Lexus must know the level of damage this is causing to customer confidence in the brand, and it's got to be hitting their sales already. Indeed, many Lexus owners are increasingly angry over the lack of response, and in due course some will vote with their feet. I trust Corporate Lexus are tracking opinion on this forum.

I'm just behind you. I only had to wait 15 months for my NX350h, but am very pleased with the vehicle overall. Like others have reported, the second key is nominally available now, and having contacted my local dealer the vehicle goes in next week to get it programmed up. Locking wheel bolts still don't appear on the horizon, but when questioned on this, the dealer did say the reason for the non-availability was because Lexus ordered them from Russia. Though plausible, I'm not sure that stacks up, since I can't see Lexus having a single source for any one mechanical component; but then the chip shortage has compromised availability of second keys.

On my NX350H (MY24) I have circular plastic blanking plugs at the bottom of the rear doors, but on the drivers and passenger doors in the middle at the bottom, there are rectangular (ish) plastic blanking plates with clips behind which is a wired in connector. Lexus have evidently changed their minds over how best to furnish puddle / courtesy lights, but in my view a light in the bottom of the door handle or mirror might be too far away to be effective.

I decided the Disklok was too heavy and bulky for everyday use, so went for the Milenco silver variant for my NX350H. It fits fine, with no real need for rubber blocks as long as you are sensible about it's position and resting it once in place. As others have mentioned, it can be stowed in the passenger foot-well without taking up too much space.

One thing I've noticed is the Hybrid Coaching trip history now goes back several months, rather than just the one. That's a definite improvement.

Happy to say the Addcarlights package arrived today, and as others have suggested it only took 5 minutes to install them. Here's an after dark picture of the result. Sharp image, good light distribution. What's not to like?

Ok, I stand corrected. Have just been into the garage, and yes, the door handle LED does illuminate the ground below the door, but it's not bright enough to see much, and it's the wrong side of the door when you open it. szhrmp's post shows the additional light at the bottom of the door once opened, shining towards the sill, but only on the Takumi spec it would seem.

My NX was also cited as an early MY24 model, but didn't come with puddle lights at the bottom of the door. Hence me opening this topic, and deciding to order after-market ones from Addcarlights. Maybe I too should have gone back to the dealer, but I've had the car a few months now, and Lexus have possibly updated the product specs in the meantime. I think the led in the bottom of the door handle is simply to show you where the handle is. It's not bright enough to illuminate any sort of puddle; hence my reference to a Toc H lamp.

Mine only has the "Toc H" lamp (led) glowing on the underside of the door handles, so decided to order something brighter, namely the ones listed above from Addcarlights. Post order, they emailed me to confirm the vehicle spec and year to make sure they dispatched the right connector size. Am still waiting on international delivery, but will report back once they arrive and get fitted.

Like several others on this forum have commented, I too was disappointed to find my new NX350H (with Premium Pack), doesn't have door puddle lights. Penny pinching by Lexus indeed! However, there are blanking covers on the drivers and passenger doors, and behind them a small connector is wired in. So I'm looking for recommendations from members as to what after market options there are that I can fit; OEM as much anything official from Lexus. Searching the US Lexus parts site, I've found item 81230-11030 which claims it will fit the NX 2023 model - https://parts.lexus.com/p/Lexus_2023_NX/Courtesy-Light-Left--Right/69489950/8123011030.html The UK Lexus parts site lists that part against the UX, with nothing found for the NX - https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-ux-phase-1-front-door-courtesy-light-assembly If I search the net for OEM options, I've come across this reasonably priced Vepara product on Amazon, but it doesn't list as being compatible with the NX (though the UX is listed!) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/VEPARA-Projector-Courtesy-Compatible-Accessories/dp/B0BGC5JF67 Has anyone fitted after market puddle lights to the NX350H (possibly the above Vepara product), and if so what would be their recommendation?

Ok, so what's the best way to complain to Lexus (Toyota) about the lost history and the decision to provide just a one month rolling view of data in the Hybrid Coaching section of the updated app? Have they really chosen to delete all the data (which is clearly very useful to them), or have they decided we only need a limited view of the data? Storage is cheap, and I'd personally like to be able to see all the vehicle history back to day one.

Could you list which sites you needed to whitelist in Pi-hole to get the app working? It's timing out when I try adding services.

I also have a new 2023 NX350H, and decent Faraday pouch for my key, and can confirm it works. If I take the pouch with key out of the house next to the car, I've confirmed the car won't unlock. Remove it from the pouch and the car unlocks as expected. But I agree with the previous posts, and always deadlock the car with the key when out and about, such that you have to use the key to unlock the vehicle. This is the product I ordered from Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PP1X4MJ

Ditto. I've just had a Ghost II fitted to my new NX350H (MY24 spec) with no problems. It works as described. Having said that, the Autowatch recommended installer I used said this model of the NX had revised cabling to the previous models he's installed, and needed to speak to a couple of contacts to confirm some details. Within the limits of what one can do to protect one's assets, I'm glad I went for this product.
