I think the 2nd Gen NXs have to beep at least 30 times per drive, so if they haven't all been used up during normal driving conditions, any excess beeps are discharged once the journey has finished. 

On several occasions now at the end of a journey and putting the car into park on my Gen2, the infotainment has either lost my profile or lost connection to my phone connected via Bluetooth. All had been well before parking up. Just seems very odd. 

Curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing. 

We should have a software upgrade wishlist! Mine would include wireless Android Auto with automatic switching (none of this toggling on/off nonsense), and more DAB presets. 

My 350h now stops the pre heat after 10 minutes - used to run for 20.  This is when it decides it wants to run. 

Interestingly, whilst it may warm the car up it usually steams the windows as if the a/c is off. 

The dings, bings and bongs aka audible warnings can be a bit annoying, but I suspect they are a sign of the times. Only 6 favourite DAB radio 'slots' is a pita on my view. 

Check it's had any recall work done (front radar is one) and all the dealer of the fuel cap flap had been changed (a known issue). 

A great, if rather unexciting car - its a luxury hybrid SUV not some Italian exotica

Ok for me. Ensure you are in the car and nav is switched on.

But you might as well input the destination directly into the car's nav of your in the car if sat in it. Both the MB and Audi apps allow the user to send a destination to the car - and they are probably running older tech platforms. 

Interesting that this post popped up on FB. I'm clearly not alone

Climate is (always) and dry to auto. The 'aircon' function isn't coming on at all - these last few days have confirmed. I I've had climate control on cars for years and the aircon function has/has to be on. Looks like I'll have to have a play with the settings... 

Hi, whenever I start my 350h, the light on the aircon button is always off, but which I believe signals that the aircon is off. I this happens even if the car was switched off with the light/aircon on. Is my understanding of the light correct and how do I get the aircon to be always on? Car is in 'normal' mode, I not eco if that makes a difference. Ta

How do I switch the brake hold on please? (also missing this having had it in 4 Mercs). Thanks 

Thought I'd add some photos of my new 350h, which I collected on Monday.  Ordered early November '21. With Lexus Link and Premium Pack.

Thanks.  Not just me then.

How long did it take them for you in the end?

Not really sure.  I got a provisional collection date which hasn't changed.   Only a few days I think.  Was surprised the dealer got the car so late in the process though

My car is at the dealership, contracts have been signed and agreed, I have made the initial lease payment and set up the direct debit for subsequent payments.

Despite this, Kinto (Toyota's finance people?) aren't releasing the car and the lease company can't (won't?) tell me why.  It seems as though they don't feel that actually providing a car at the end of the process is an obligation they need to fulfil!  Ridiculously poor customer service from Kinto 😒

Kinto were really slow with mine to last week.  Managed to get the lease company to book a provisional collection date subject to Kinto ok.  Also feel Burnaston were really slow as they appear to have the car almost 7 weeks.  Hardly sock pulling up on the part of Toyota/Lexus given the already long (13 months) delay.   Anyway, collecting the car this Monday! 

I'm hoping my 350h is closer to delivery. I've gotten the VIN and a registration number...

I recall watching Aussie based reviews of the new NX and they had wired only Carplay too, so not just an Android/UK/EU issue.  That said, I find my wireless Android Auto on my new Audi A3 as pain in the back side most times (pot luck which phone it connects to and Spotify regularly fails to load). 

My leasing company have advised 'my' 350h is currently estimated be with the dealer on 19 December.  Ordered early November 21.

A group test by Auto Express.  No spoliers, so you'll read it yourselves.

'My' 350h premium and Lex Link pack was ordered in the beginning of November for a July delivery. Latest I've heard it's that it'll be delivered in May. I too think those that ordered early are being shafted. Not sure if ordering via a leasing company makes a difference though, but they have no reason to cause a delay. 

I don't think Audi are any better either for delays or comms if the A3 forums are anything to go by. I had to wait 12 months for my A3 which arrived in July, 8 months late. 

They used to need a 'donor" cat so they can take the measurements for new models and would give a discount (or free?) for the first cat they measured.  I've used them twice and would thoroughly recommend.  Cheaper than tinting and great for PCH etc.

Update, Finally got a call from my dealer today, as l suspected the delivery date has been delayed from mid Sept. Not to Oct, Nov or Dec, or Q1 2023. It has been delayed to wait for it……….June 2023. I am now considering how to move forward. I am thinking about cancelling and buying a nearly new NX300h which l like but have not driven. Or buying an older NX 300h as an interim and leaving my order in place. I have read that the NX 300h has an uncomfortable ride and performance is not great. Does anyone have any advice?

Sadly no surprise. My end of Nov 21 order for a 350h is now expected May '23. Should of had it by now.

Just had word from Lexus uk via the app and my dealership  my car is in the uk it must have been on The Viking Adventure that arrived 30th July 2022. Lexus NX 350h 2.5 5dr E-CVT Premium Pack/Lexus link Pro Special metallic - Sonic grey order and deposit placed 27/11/2021 

 

How was this ordered?  Direct with the dealer, on lease via a broker etc? I ordered a 350h with lexus link pro via a lease broker at the beginning of November and the latest eta for it is May 23, moved from July 22.

I'm in the same boat with leasing options. November 21 and have now been told May 23 delivery. Are you going to continue with the order? My worry is that I got it for almost half the monthly price it's leasing at now so they won't honour it but will wait till May next year to break the news to me!

I'm going to stick with it - at least for the time being as there's naff all else out there.

Guys I need help if you can please....

 

I ordered an NX350h premium pack, confirmed on 24/12/21. Just been told my original delivery slot of 16/08 isn't happening anymore and they can't even give me a new date? Ordered through Leasing Options. I'm seeing on here that some who ordered in Feb are due to get their cars in August. How does that happen??

Same here with 350h from LO. Ordered November 21, now saying May 23 (for what its worth). I thought my 12 month wait for an A3 (delivered last month, 8 months late) was bad, but this is taking the proverbial.  I think I can extend the lease on my A4 for up to 6 months, thereafter back to one car again.

I've just been informed by my leasing broker that 'my' 350h ordered in November '21 for delivery this month has been pushed back again.  To May '23!

I have just been told my 350h ordered in November for a late July delivery is now looking at a November delivery.  Frustrating especially after taking delivery of an Audi A3 yesterday after a 12 month wait.
