I have a 2017 NX300H Luxury. I have been quoted £275 by Lexus to update my sat nav. Does anyone know of any other options to update it as the price seems excessive
If you want to update just the software why don't you buy the sd card from eBay?
This is how I've updated mine and is super simple to do it.

I have an NX300h & whilst i love the car I loath the infotainment Unit & in particular the Sat Nav which is without doubt the worse I ever come across. It's such a pity.
I've seen online videos about replacing the Head unit with a Carplay Android one that provides google maps & all sorts of other goodies however I can't seem to find out which units are best (& which to avoid). Has anyone experience of having the head (display unit changed) & which unit they bought. I've got an auto electrician ready to fit it but he's waiting for me to buy the unit. Any advice very gratefully received
4x4shop.ca are very good. I'm also thinking to buy a unit and replace the factory one.

Guys what would you say is the best OBD II adaptor to customised a NX300h?
A generic obd2 will be just fine for most of the basic jobs.

Has anyone actually done an upgrade and if so can you post some pics please!
The cheap ones are to slow, the hardware and software are outdated. The companies posted above are selling decent products but at higher prices.

Just wondering if you went ahead with this? Also looking around at the moment. May or may not upgrade.
I did not. If your car is still under warranty it might void it(not 100% sure about this).

Access Lexus NX 300 hidden service Menu:
1 . stop the car and make sure the head lamp switch is in 'Auto ' position
2. without pressing the break paddle, press start button two times (this will enable the camera settings in the service menu)
3. wait for the system to load
4. press and hold menu button and turn the head lamp switch forward and backwards 4 times (from 'auto ' position to 'park lamp ' position)
5. now the Service Menu will appear. -
Very helpful tip about how to open a stuck petrol tank cover flap:

To speed up a voice command press again the button. It will stop that 20sec stupid monologue.

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
Torque is not having those options. You need carista apk.
You can download it from the website adress posted above.
After you connect it to the car is super simple, just go in the second menu--I belive is called customization. You will be able to change all the options described in my previous post.
I will post some pictures tomorrow.

You can open/close the car using the button on the tailgate. Close to the opening button for the tailgate there is another one which is closing and opening the doors!

Gabriel,
Great posts, thanks. Can you link the £4 device you got off eBay please?
Cheers
I have 2 of them. Both are working fine with Torque apk, but only one with Carista.

All that can be done using some free apps and a Bluetooth obd2.

Another easy and fast way to set a destination point in the sat nav is by using Lexus link apk/app.
You need to connect with the car by creating a mobile hot spot using your phone.
Setting up the app is easy.
Tested using android phone and Nx300h 2015.

How annoying is when the tyre pressure warming is displayed. Premium, luxury car at a "respectable " price is not telling you which tyre is loosing pressure. Not sure what exactly was the philosophy behind this decision.
Using the same app carista you can see the pressure info for each tyre.
Available under the coding menu.
I'm not advertising for the apk, is the only solution I have found. Maybe someone can share an easier way.

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.

Another way to see tyre pressure and temperature is by using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hybridassistant.tire
