I had my AA wireless that was in my 2021 Rx450 and worked flawlessly.  I’ve got it to connect to the NX but occasionally it drops out and won’t reconnect.  Plus the wireless charging does do go through my S24 case so I need to plug it in anyway as the wireless eats through Battery

I believe it was the LTA, I will turn that off next time I am out and see if there is any difference

Dealer could not find anything obvious wrong and I couldn’t break it when I was there.  Seems to be after 5-10 mins of driving
However I noticed today when it dropped out twice it was at the same time I had audible alerts from the car for getting to close to left side of road.  I have found a couple of RX posts regarding this with the same symptoms and suggest turning off audible warnings but I cannot see that they are enabled as audible just the warning.

i have a S24 Android so wondered if anyone else had this problem.   I have in the meantime removed the phone from car and vice versa and set up again

That’s was my view, something either behind or at the other end.  It doesn’t disconnect if I waggle the cable.  Unfortunately not a second one as only one is linked to AA

Hi, I’ve noticed with increasing regularity that Android auto disconnecting when turning sharp left or right.  It requires either an unplug back in to either the phone or console and comes immediately back.  It did it three times on a recent 1 hour journey around country lanes but less so on major roads.  I think this did it with my old phone and I have bought a quality cable and still happening.

its going into the dealers next week to check for an software updates, but wondered if anyone else had had this.  I am suspecting something loose round the back 

Any other thoughts or experiences ?
 

thanks

I have the same problem on my IPad which started about a week ago.  I’ve removed and reinstalled but same issue.  Works ok on Android phone

I’ve not done many journeys exceeding Battery range in the cold but have noticed a few times that when Battery is exhausted the fans blow cold air into the cabin.  I am assuming this is because the engine is cold.  I’ve not driven far after but assume once engine heats up then warm air is circulated again.

has anyone else noticed this ?  I would have expected the heating to stop blowing until the engine was warmer 

When I picked up mine it took a day or so for everything to sort itself out

I believe the RAV 4 has a larger boot than the NX and would be cheaper but they are prone to the canbus theft.

Personally I have always preferred ride quality over wheel size and you can’t see the wheels from inside the car.  Replacement tires likely to be cheaper as well.

if you do decide to go for the NX at least pick one up from bottom of the range if you can afford to although personally I have always since a young child picked the most expensive version of anything Inhave purchase.  For those old enough in the UK that was immediately looking at the bottom right of any catalogue where the most expensive items always were

Thanks to everyone for their help and comments.  I returned to the dealers today, went out with a very patient and diligent technician who I have met before.  He heard a the same rattle from the left side and a click from the dashboard so good to know I was not overreacting or mishearing.
 

@ArneT you are correct as he confirmed most interior panels are clipped and can sometimes unclip or move.

The left side was caused by a lose dash cam cable and he believes the dashboard was the trim right at the middle front where the alarm light is so he clipped this back into place

Ride back was much better but real test will be back in the cold again tomorrow.

I also looked at the new RX while I was there, the trim throughout seems to be very similar to the NX in that I could not see much if any additional soft touch trim

So far a total of 5 different noises have appeared but hopefully all now fixed (fingers crossed)

Thanks all, it’s going in again on Thursday.  The dashboard squeak/creak seems to be worse over rougher roads and as the car is heating up.

I definitely agree that once you hear it the mind gets attuned to it and you subconsciously listen for it again.

will be interesting to see what the dealer says.  The loan car I had did not have this particular noise.  It had a couple of rattles but these seemed to come from distinct places.

it does feel like this car simply was not screwed together with the correct torque settings !

I also agree some of the interior seems cheap, my wife’s previous 2 Yarris has been completely rattle and squeak/creak free.  

I have had the seatbelt rattle when left at an angle but still sometimes have a rattle there when sitting correctly

My new NX has suffered a number of rattles since new.  most of these have now been resolved however there are still about 2 that are not there on every drive and have not been there on visit to the dealer and I have been unable to pinpoint where they are coming from.

I am also getting a lot of creaking which seems to be coming from the passenger side and one from the dashboard, the dashboard one is not loud but I can hear it.  Car has been back 4 or 5 times since new in October for these and other issues and whilst improved far from ideal

Very disappointed this is the worse car I have ever owned for creaks and rattles, even when previous cars have been a number of years old.  This car is far from refined.

Any ideas or similar issues ?

I had a loan car for a couple of weeks and added it to the app.  When I gave the car back I deleted my profile from the car and deleted the car from the app.

The dealer had a couple of heating schedules which I paused while I had it but now they have the car back I am getting notifications on phone (Android) and IPad saying climate has started.  It doesn’t appear within the app, only as an alert.

i have emailed the app support on this but sounds like a backend issue.

anyone else had this ?

I wonder if it is starting to warm the Battery.  I preheated mine this morning and the engine didn’t come on.   Dash wash showing -1

This is what solved mine from Lexus customer services

Remove vehicle from the Lexus Link+ App account, via the app’s “My Garage” page.

Sign out of the mobile app.

On the App’s log in page – Choose option to reset your password.

Note: Your must enter your Email/Telephone number, before you get the ‘reset password’ option.

Note: Please change your password to something different from the previous password.

Turn on the car, and log into your Lexus Link account via the Multimedia system by using QR code when prompted.

Scan the QR code shown on the MM system into the LexusLink+ App (My Garage, Add Vehicle, Use QR code).

Once you are logged in to the Multimedia System in the car, please access and enable “Link profile to Key” – an option found under:

Settings (from the Multimedia home screen)

User account (Click into your name on the top left)

Personal Info

Enable ‘Link key’ (as per screenshot below) 

This should be a successful prevention of the profile log-out issue. “Link Key” means the MM systems seeks your profile details from recognition of the Key, rather than your mobile phone. The key is a more stable solution for profile recognition.

yes from new.  Another trip to the dealer 😞

Hi

Has anyone experienced this on their NX, starting to see some stretching on the drivers seat after 900 miles.  I am not a light person by any means but dont recall this on any previous cars

Thanks

My old volvo app was pretty much flawless from day 1 in 2017. Admittedly is had 2 years of dev time by then but this was 6 years ago on a platform nearly 8 years old now.  used to get an alert saying doors were unlocked when they actually were and outside temperature so you could decide if it needed heating up in the morning.

As so many people are experiencing the same bugs it is surprising that this doesn’t seem to have been tested further before releasing.  It seems like Lexus are developing this on a live environment and this is still very much a beta app.

I thought I had acc on but will try again to be sure, thanks

Good point it is not available on all specs but definitely should be there on Takumi but doesn’t appear to be

Hi, 

just wondered if anyone has used Lane change assist ? It’s listed on the spec and looking at YouTube there is supposed to be a setting under I think driver assist that allows you to turn it off and on.  The setting on the video I saw (US) does not exist on my car.  The dealer has been helpful and got a colleague who has used this function previously and it doesn’t work on their car either.  I am not sure what the previous car was, but the dealer is trying to find out more information.  I have also emailed customer relations who are normally quick to respond but nothing after a day so far.

I wonder if a master setting has been turned off that I cannot see.

Has anyone else tried or uses it ?

Thanks

Anyone else having issues setting climate control ?  Get an error every time.  It does look like I can lock/unlock.  Also the cars status has not updated and is showing unlocked despite being locked

I think my calculations for fuel were off in that I was calculating purely the petrol miles driven and fuel based on that without any allowance for additional hybrid use.  Unfortunately the only trip I have done so far without a full Battery was from the dealer and that one was not recorded.

Yes my steering wheel is a few degrees to the left when driving straight.  I was told this should be a quick fix, I suspect it’s a notch out
