You live in the West Midlands, not Alaska 

Switch the heated seats on as soon as you get in so that you're getting heat straight away, then within five minutes the heater will be pumping out hot air.

So remote climate control is only available in Alaska? I have a young family and a busy life, should I not wish for the convenience of a Lexus that’s warm and defrosted before we head out on the school run? We love the NX but now I’m wondering if I made a mistake with that lack of remote access / control & a all wheel drive system that apparently struggles on mud let alone ice and snow!?

What Herbs says. By the time you have scraped the ice from the screen the seat will be toasty. If you have it, switch on the heated steering wheel as well 👍

My routine is to start the car, switch on the heated rear screen and mirrors, switch on the heated seat and steering wheel, get out and remove the frost from the front and side screens by which time the rear screen is clearing and the seat and wheel are warm.

Not experienced frost yet in my RX but am expecting the climate concierge to automatically switch on the seat 😎

I have a fully loaded ‘premier’ model NX with heated everything, but still have to get the scrapper out, how dare I wish for the convenience of remote climate control, I hang my head in shame. (The climate concierge thing just sounds like another half way gimmick)

Living here in the still EU control UK granny state I can’t configure my rather expensive car to warmup and defrost the glass before I climb into it with my kids on the school run during the winter! I love my NX and so does the family, the remote climate control would’ve been the icing on the cake, but how dare we wish for such a thing!?!

Does anyone with an NX300h (2019) in the UK have a solution for remote startup and warming up the vehicle in the winter? It’s the only thing missing off my vehicle & it would be a game changer!
