Nx300h "and more" tips and tricks

[Rew1]

Access Lexus NX 300 hidden service Menu: 

1 . stop the car and make sure the head lamp switch is in 'Auto ' position 
2. without pressing the break paddle, press start button two times (this will enable the camera settings in the service menu) 
3. wait for the system to load 
4. press and hold menu button and turn the head lamp switch forward and backwards 4 times (from 'auto ' position to 'park lamp ' position) 
5. now the Service Menu will appear.

A generic obd2 will be just fine for most of the basic jobs.

Another way to see tyre pressure and temperature is by using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hybridassistant.tire

Tyre Assistant 

Is free, is connecting really fast and has a much better grafic than Carista

I have 2 of them. Both are working fine with Torque apk, but only one with Carista.

For the apk I use

I bought the item you recommended from eBay and it didn't work. It kept on saying device faulty on the Carista app (despite disconnecting and reconnecting the scanner multiple times). Not sure if it doesn't play as nicely with my NX, and/or my Iphone. I purchased the official Carista OBD scanner and it worked first time, plus it is a bit larger so is much easier to disconnect after use.

Certainly if you are going to use Carista as your software then it makes sense to use their dongle - works well compared to some of the cheap rubbish out there and you get a free month's subscription.
