Let's add here info not easily available to us (unless you really dig deep into the manual).

Tips, tricks, staff hidden in the menu, interesting info, anything that would intrigue us to run 😄 to the car.

I recently saw new comments. Someone wrote that it is impossible to make changes to the TPMS module via OBDII (you will probably need to disconnect this Chinese module again). I haven't checked it.
But it's good to know.

Did you managed to check if those comments are correct?

Hello everyone!

I'm contemplating with the idea of having an screen update and upgrade 🤔. I drive an 2015 Nx300h F-Sport and what we have is so, so outdated. 

Doing some research turns out that in UK there are no sellers, but I have found 2 stores outside UK(excluding China):

4x4shop.ca and https://www.dvdgpsnav.com/blog/10-25-lexus-nx-200t-nx-300h-radio-upgrade-wide-screen-replacement-android-navigation-support-carplay/

Has anyone done this yet and kind enough to share some feedback?

If anyone else is interested we can place a bigger order and negotiate more on those prices.

my version don’t have a SD slot card I updated with link but still not very happy, is there any chance to update all multimedia, I saw a 10” Android for that model, anyone tried this?

thanks 

Hello!

Yes you can. There is a user here who done it himself: bought it from Alibaba and self installed it. 

I also checked but couldn't find a UK retailer, so only option is to buy it from outside UK and find an electrician to fit it. Is expensiv and probably you will not have any warranty. 

Do I understand correctly:

the update from toyotamaps.online will update the os or is just an map update?

From the obove picture looks like will update the os as well. 

It is 25-26 pouns on eBay. Bought myself one sd card tested and all is fine. Why would you pay $70!? 

 I'm sure you send it online, when the car connects to internet. Something like this:

I can't see how we can do it in the older sat nav versions.

Set off driving. Once it locks you onto the planned route the data should appear. 

Thanks, found it, from the 3 dots button you can sent what to display. 🙄

What about sent to car function did you managed to send any routes to the car?

Once you’ve entered in a destination, and pressed start the time and miles left for your journey are displayed in the space between the three dots and Nav point 

Is not showing, look at the picture. The destination is set, I've pressed start and navigation is started (see the blue line).

Something like that.

A bit of help please!

My car is a lexus Nx300h F-Sport 2015  with premium navigation.

I've looked everywhere and I can't find how to see on the map the time to destination or distance after you set a route or during!?

Is just showing the map route as in the picture.

Also how do I download to the car the routes created using the app(Lexus link). 

I have connected the car to phone over Bluetooth and the car wifi  to the phone's hot spot. Registered the Connected Services in the car menu.

In response to the OP, I believe the best compromise is a F-Sport with Premier/Takumi pack. You get the looks of the F-Sport... with the extras from the Premier/Takumi.

I have just upgraded my pre facelift white F-Sport (which had premium navigation) to a mesa red F-Sport with Takumi pack and gained, in addition to the extras that came with the facelifted F-Sport model:

- Mark Levinson audio system
- wide screen satnav (which I am getting upgraded to accept Google Maps, etc.)
- blind spot monitor
- head up display
- Sport and Sport + modes
- All-round camera
- Heated steering wheel
- panoramic roof (which I had as an extra on my previous NX)

I think - may be wrong on that one - that the only thing that might be missing is the memory function for the electric seats and the heated rear seats.

What year model? Only 2019 and up, all at a different price point. For that money Premier pack is a must.

I can share the content of the Map Update sd card 2000-2021 v2  if someone is interested. Actualy is not updating anything, the os reads the map from the sd card.

Not sure uf just copying on another sd card will work!

Many thanks. It’s an f sport so assume has wireless charging as standard? 2016 model but appears to have the 7” display but control knob rather than the trackpad. All others seem to have the trackpad, but it’s in the colour I’ve been after and otherwise looks great.

Paying 19.4 for 2016, 70k

 

Is the standard navigation pack.

More info here:

https://blog.lexus.co.uk/lexus-navigation-system/?utm_source=LexusOwnersClubUK&utm_medium=ForumLinks

Do you have panoramic roof, reverse camera or 2 tone leather?

What about premier model? Have considered it?

There is one thing I can't figure out:

how to set up the navigation map in order to see the arrival time or miles to destination like I have on my wife's IS250 from 2006!?

@JeffL if your in the market for an NX I’m looking to sell my Jan 2018 facelift in the very near future (depending on COVID restrictions)... With lockdown and owning an electric car in the household it just doesn’t get used... If interested let me know. 

Do you still have the car and want to sell it?

No problems whatsoever, everything is working fine. I have not seen anything new interface wise.

I'm about to buy a 2016 F-Sport tmrw.

Every single review seems to say the stereo has a terrible user interface. Coming from an Rx450 with the joystick/mouse sure I'll cope though! Mine seems to have the bog standard 8 speaker basic nav package with a rotary control rather than the touchpad. Most other F-sports seem to have the remote touchpad. Is this the case that most original owners specced up (except mine!).

Presumably I still get wireless charging as Fsport? But unclear if this includes AD2P media streaming etc.

 

If you have the Convenience pack you will get the wireless charging pad.

Just purchased an F-Sport after a lot of research so I can offer my opinion if you need. What budget you have?

£25 was. I will let you know today.

Map update sd card just arrived 2021v2. Very curious to see if there is just a map update or is including any os improvements.

It gets proper finicky but I'm pretty sure that the 2015 F sport had a prem pack upgrade which would allow you to keep the styling of the F but get the extra toys of the prem. I could be wrong as it's been a while since I last had a perusal of the NX range.

Definitely not! So disappointed, only for models 2018 and up.

Just now, LordByronUK said:

We have a 2016 FSport, so it also has navigation, unlike previous year non premium models.

I finalised the purchase for an F-Sport in the end. 

Now I need to update the map as is a 2015 version and to discover all the "hidden features"(hope to find something). On eBay is £25 an sd card with 2020 v2.

Anyone knows if there is any update for the infotainment system?

2015,white with ivory interior with pan roof, I'm sure you will enjoy your new car 

Super combination! I also shortlisted a 2015 with panoramic roof, 2 tone interior and navigation plus. Going to see it today.

Such a dissapointment that we can't have premier pack on pre 2018 models.

Hi, I had the same dilemma last week, I found 1 f sport and 1 premier which had the right condition,history,price and owners but when I compared the features of both I went for the premier which was 2k more but was from lexus with the warranty and had done 18k less mileage with ivory interior and only 1 lady owner from new, but I do understand what you mean as I also liked the grill and alloys of f sport but many do say their seats and ride are alot firmer too so compare both both inside and out and go for the one that feels right for you,  good luck 

I incline towards F-sport mainly because of estetics but is such a hard decision as I like very much all the features Premier has. 

What year model you went for?

I’m sure there are lots of threads that have covered this sort of choice before.

I went trough all 28 pages and I can say that thee is only one similar thread.
