  1. No issues & have driven along really flooded roads. Mine has Smart Sensors but I am sure their spec is no different. Not an issue in North America either. Tel
  2. Always remember the German Marques depreciation is based on their basic list price taking no account of their Factory Options that are almost worhless after registration. Top Gear Magazine always test Top Spec BMs etc. but stopped publishing Depreciation Costs because they were dreadful . Tel
  3. Use Silicon not WD 40 to lube plastics. Tel
  4. The 2019 NX is further refined particularly with AVS if the Build is in 2019. Tel
  5. All the above makes me believe I was correct to run- in my F-Sport for the first 1K mile ! The AVS is sublime even in Sport S. The acceleration in the above mode equals my previous F-Sport IS & the 6-speed gearbox is no different to that in my ISF, range apart. Based around My Lexus, HUD & Info Screen the Nav works perfectly. I achieve c. 42.mpg in D & 38.8 mpg in Sport S. Nox levels of emissions are 40 times lower than Euro 6 Diesels & Lexus Build & Reliability is a Global given. My Mk.2 ISF had the best ride of the F-Sports by a mile until my NX with its floppy 18" tyres & revised AVS. Hard acceleration emits a distant whine as though the rear electric motor joins the rush Great SUV. Tel.
  6. As the post above it is the phone that linking to your associated data not the car’s device Tel
  7. Mine is a 2019 linked to an iPhone X but my Contacts have no fotos linked to them Tel
  8. Surely it is your phone that is the source . Connect a different phone to confirm. Tel
  9. NX looks better than any RX & AVS gives a cosseting ride. 95% D-Mode & 5% Sport S returns 40 mpg and enables swift progress. Access/Egress top class. Tel
  10. I never input Post Codes as their target is too wide of the mark. I use My Lexus for all known Target Destinations. My journey is detailed on 3 "Screens" i.e the Nav,the Info Screen & the HUD. I pay little attention to the Main Screen & rely on the 2 "screens" directly in front of me. I never input on the run &, if I need to change Destination whilst on the move, I stop to ask Google the address & then use Search to Input. The Nav is so comprehensive it is judged to be complex with literally hundreds of POI's but my System Protocol removes any issues Most of my friends never use their Navs in their cars but use their iPhones . Silly. My Derbyshire Accent is acceptable to the System . Tel
  11. Apologies to you all, I have just returned from a 50 mile round trip & can report how I use my NAV. I primarily use my HUD that informs me in yards to turn left & depicts it is the second left & some distance before said turn I am told turn left once on the island or junction Same for any island. 6 exits with the 5th. shown etc. & the speed of the exit road. The road I am on & the road I am going onto with an arrow left NOT at an obtuse angle as shown in the HUD, is in the INFO screen. I never look @ the NAV screen itself once programmed . Again sorry for my mistake. Tel
  12. Never had an easier Nav. Will report in Detail how I negotiate complex Junctions. On Technology the 2019 Build NX have improved AVS/ Media & my HUD shows road number. Recalculation is instant if I go wrong with no verbal prompt. My Lexus Routes link to the car & when I start the car in my garage the screen informs me said named route has been transferred to My Favourites. Tel
  13. Never ever turned A/c off . A gain in mpg in normal driving in D-Mode would be negligible & cabin climate less comfortable . Tel
  14. My research certainly paid off re my NX Spec.! The HUD SAT NAV display resolves the above grumbles & is a top Option in North America where the NX sells in large numbers. Tel
  15. I am SO chuffed my NX has AVS with its 5 Driving Modes as the Auto Set-up smooths out completely the F-Sport bump/thump. Swift S-bend S-Sport driving is good for a mid-size SUV & much more stable than my families Range Rovers along the same highway. S-Sport acceleration from standstill is impressive, surprising the surrounding vehicles @ multi lane intersections. Global road tests have achieved sub-8-seconds 0-60 times but the NX is not intended to be a Sports Car with its high centre of gravity. As Ed states it delivers a smooth stress free ride in a good looking 4x4 that many admire. Tel
  16. I was told by my Wife's Toyota Dealer that Lexus were offering free updates before Xmas. Clearly some Dealers do & many don't yet it is available on the Lexus Tech website whilst My Lexus have updates available @ cost. Having paid c.45k for my Chelsea Tractor 6 weeks ago my Nav is up to date currently & I am determined to secure free updates till 2022. Over 20 years with Lexus; their Customer Service has been excellent But never straightforward as,like any Organisation,the Customer is so dependent on the Contact & what he or she understands. Escalation works wonders :eventually. Tel
  17. Phil, Just to be clear an update is free from the Tech Website but not from the majority of Dealers who I assume have said update downloaded onto a USB for any Nav issues.? Tel
  18. Lexus UK Twitter have told me there are no 3 Year Nav Updates but up-dates are available in My Lexus Portal. Do I interpret this to mean that the Portal Up Date is free but Dealers will not necessarily do the download for you as such a cost is negligible to a Dealer. Tel
  19. New Car Update, 200 mile return trip achieved 40.4 mpg in 90% D & 10% Sport S Modes. Performance in Sport S Mode is excellent with AVS enabling spirited driving through S-bends. Sport S + would be better but that is for another day. The change in Modes transforms the car's behaviour with no increase in noise but some potholes can cause S-Mode to thump whereas D is noticeably softer. Nav excelled save for reading a 40 side road sign that was perpendicular to the main carriage way. A Hard Copy of the Nav Manual has arrived today.Consists of 300 pages! Tel
  20. Global Forums are reporting c.10% better than say NX in normal driving. Tel
  21. It would be interesting to read how Run Flats would perform with AVS. On the NX, the latest AVS is a revelation even with this Forums dis-liked Yokohama tyres AVS is Stealth Tax Territory but it transforms the F-Sport Suspension characteristics now the AVS itself has been uprated. Worth every penny. Tel
  22. Research Club Lexus & You Tube for comprehensive specification changes. The Model Spec does vary between Countries But the Factory changes to build spec does not. As Lexus is focussed on the American Market their reviews are very accurate & up to date. The 2011 ISF in the US was the Mk.2 yet here the change was almost ignored. The 2017 IS is quite different to the 2013 Model yet by-passed here. The 2018 NX was referred to as the Mk.2 in the US. The 2019 model has revised bushings, spring rates & MCU mapping. So a 2016 NX will have many improvements over the launch model . Tel
