Right. I just simply compared it with UX model 2020. The main reason I upgraded to NX was that I wanted something bigger and more spacious specially the boot and rear seats.

Thanks for sharing. So it is the simple mode which is not that useful as you will miss the hit and it records the incident after it happens. The dash cams now they have buffered mode in addition to simple mode and time lapse mode. With buffered mode as soon as it detects a move near your car it starts recording but will only save 30 seconds before and after the incidents to the sd card and if no incident happens it won’t save anything.

Thank you

It seems the Nextbase model Lexus which dealers are using has only simple parking mode and not buffered parking mode. In simple mode the camera wakes up when something happens and records. So you will miss the incidents. In buffered mode, the cam will record 30 seconds before and after the incidents.

What’s the model of your dashcam pls? Is it 380GW?

You are right as my problem is when I go to supermarket car parks. I had 2 incidents with my previous car and both have been when the car was parked. Some idiots are not bothered about other people’s cars. Driving an old car and are not bothered if they touch your car when parking next to you or exiting the space next to you.

I cancelled the appointment with Lexus to have their dash cam as they told me it doesn’t have parking mode. They literally selling dash cam models 2020 in 2024. Found an independent in car technology ltd specialised in cams and things like that to install Nextbase new model that has intelligent parking mode.

How much did it cost? Thanks

Thanks, great to know.

Thanks for the reply guys. Not sure what the issue is. I have asked 2 Lexus dealers and both told me they will only install front and not rear. Could be NX thing but not sure what the problem is. They are going to charge £275 for front cam.

I contacted Lexus and made the appointment for dashcam but they told me only front cam can be installed in NX 350h and they won’t install rear one as it interferes with Dab!!? Any suggestions pls? Should I cancel the appointment and try somewhere else than Lexus?

Thanks, that’s great. 👍🏻

Thanks, for jeees sake I have to drive another 50 miles to dealer? Maybe I can ask them to post it to me so I can do it at a dealer near me and not where I bought the car.

can’t they post the key to you?

Update: the app unknown status now has changed into view status and working alright.

Mine is exactly like yours after 5 days. Lexus cars are nice but their App is rubbish. It took them forever to get rid of that touch pad and finally came up with touchscreen. Wonder how many years it take to sort out their app!!!

I just upsized UX to NX. Collected the car last week and after 1 week, I should say it is a different world. The surrounding sound system is amazing, and how quiet the cabin is in comparison with UX. The car is driving in EV mode more than half of the time in town and over all I am getting 45MPG and on motorway it gave me 49MPG. The 14” screen is very quick and responsive and auto parking feature is fantastic. The tank is taking 65 litres which is giving 650miles. With UX I was going to petrol station more often as the tank was only 40 litres. No wonder WhatCar? rated UX 2 stars. In the show room I also saw 2 LBX which looked nicer than online pictures. Seems well built, inside looks very good and top quality. I think if anyone wants to buy UX consider buying LBX instead.

Thanks guys, I think I am only missing the key. Dealer didn’t say anything about locking wheel that they are missing.

Anyone knows how long after the delivery we will receive the second key? Collected the car a few days ago with 1 key. Thanks

A quick update to say that the car arrived and collected. It’s lovely and enjoyable to drive. Much more fun than previous one (UX) and I should say technology/gadgets improved a lot since 2020 when I bought UX.

By obsessed I meant worrying too much about fuel consumption. But you have a point as well saying the reason to buy a hybrid is to save on fuel. But nowadays the non-hybrid cars have 60+mpg.

obsessed with fuel consumption kind of spoils the enjoyment. Anything above 35 or 40 is fine. I am annoyed with UX boot and lack of power so changing it with a new NX, delivering next month.

Thanks for the info, good to know 👍🏻 I am also finding UX very noisy when driving on motorway and almost speakers don’t exist. Very poor speakers on UX Takumi. But when I test drived NX350h I was impressed with the sound system.

Why embarrassing at petrol station? lol the fuel consumption is not that much different with UX but NX tank is bigger so I shouldn’t need to go very often. With UX it only can take 40 litres and I had to fill it up frequently.

I am going from UX Takumi to NX 350H takumi. UX is a lovely car to drive but the boot is small even for 2 of us. So LBX is not considered. Rear of UX is embarrassing if you have a guest and 2 sitting front and 1 in the back as there is not much space at all. Looking forward to NX delivery early next year.
