When the comparison sites first appeared, I found myself hunting through all those small print pdf files to establish what, exactly, I'd be covered for. What I found was that the cover being offered on the comparison site was less comprehensive that the insurer's own direct website. Basically, to look competitive and appear in the top results, something had to give. Most people don't read the small print so they got away with it. I have no idea whether they operate in the same (underhand) way now but I have better things to do with my time than read all the small print so I no longer use the comparison sites. Maybe I'm losing out; maybe the companies behave more ethically these days; but then again, maybe pigs really do fly!

It's not just cars. LV won't insure my house because I have oil central heating! They have become very picky lately; acting like a start-up that only wants low risk business. I won't use them for this reason but, in fairness, I have always been happy with their travel insurance.

Any update on this Karen? I hope it all got resolved to your satisfaction?

There is quite a lot about this in the NX forum, the Software Update thread. Most have found you need to do a Reset to clear this problem and get back to 'normal'.

Congratulations! My advice, shop around. A company that is good for one person doesn't necessarily mean it will be good (the best) for you.

Just realised I made 2 posts on the 26th; the first was a summary, the second (the last entry on page 3) has more detail.

I posted info on 26 February that should help you. Hopefully, having gone through the steps you've already taken, it won't be too bigger step to do the reset. Good luck.

I'm very happy with my fuji red NX too, not seen another on the road - yet. Mine isn't an F Sport but I do have the red interior (different pattern to the F Sport) and am really pleased with it. Interesting to know that there is a similar colour combination out there.

Hopefully all will be well now but do keep an eye on the communication icon. I found that I had to reconnect every trip until I did the reset. I didn't find it necessary to press the power button as you describe. If you do need to go down the reset route, your journey data may not appear straight away. It did for me but it took a few days before it reliably appeared for a friend.

My understanding is that, as you say, the traction battery retains about 30% of its charge. There are good reasons for this but 30% does seem on the conservative side to me. I would prefer the app showed the percentage of usable charge; 100% when fully charged and 0% when there was no usable range left but it's not a big deal. Same is true of the dash display; if I can't have/use the last 30%, then don't show it. True of the fuel tank too; if it's full to the top, I want to see all the bars in the green and for the number of bars to reduce proportionally until the tank is empty. Then I can be clear and know that if it gets to one remaining bar, I need to start looking for a petrol station. Toyota/Lexus conservatism is annoying here; as another thread has shown, owners have found that there is often still a significant amount of fuel left in reserve when the dash would have you believe that the car is in imminent danger of running out of fuel and being stranded. Estimates on the dash display and the app cannot be calculated in the same way. My dash has been showing an EV range of between 71km and 73km for weeks now whereas the app has been gradually creeping up by 0.2 or so without a/c and 0.3 with a/c over the same period. However, to be honest, I just let the car get on with it; if the fuel looks low, I top it up, if the battery needs charging, I charge it - a bit like the olden days before we had these fancy apps! I know that if I drive gently, I get more mpg or battery miles, if I drive more aggressively my £ doesn't take me as far and I don't need an app (or a home smart meter) to tell me that.

Readers especially NX 450h+ owners, might be interested in this video posted earlier today (the Toyota Rav4 and NX share many of the same components) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVV8w8ehcfg

I've got front and rear cam's and not had any interference. I do recall a thread a year or so ago where some people did have a problem (if I've remembered correctly). That some have had a problem and others haven't could be because some took the wiring down the near-side and others took it down the off-side maybe.

Ditto Giuseppe's comments/request. Car looks great. Enjoy!

It was the case with the old app and probably still the case that not all services were available straight away. In my case, my dealer had set up my email address with Lexus HQ prior to collection so the car and app could be linked when I picked the car up. All the services were fully working in 3 or 4 days.

I hope you will keep an eye on us over here in NX world, you have been a great contributor since I've been a member of LOC. Big smile for you on your decision; I'm sure you'll be just as happy, if not happier, with your RX as with the great NX (but probably just as frustrated with the app! 😉 ). How long are you expecting delivery to take? What was it about the RX that convinced you to change?
