    Mine started wandering about recently - maybe started about 4 weeks ago - with the car’s position about a mile out. After a couple of miles it would lock back on. Doesn’t make any difference as to whether the car is navigating to a location or not.

    Yes, one of my pet hates too in that the font size of things like ETA, road number are very small. Can’t see why this couldn’t be changed through a software update. And don’t get me started on why my map zooms out when I approach a junction.😠 Other than that it’s alright.

    Yes, 4 weeks on the boat. I’ve followed several cars from Japan including my current NX. Each have been pretty much bang on 4 weeks.

    Better recheck my order too as I ordered 3 March with an ETA of 20 July. Spoke to the dealer about 2 weeks ago and it was still sometime in July.

    Very easy so far. I’m downloading right now for nav 2019 v1. Currently on package 7 of 21 and about 15 minutes in.

    Given Mazda UK charged customers £350 for fitting AC and AA to 2014 cars onwards I suspect if Lexus ever sort their act out they may follow Mazda’s prices. But you never know with Lexus. For info Mazda changed the USB module and ran two new cables from the module to the back of the screen. Existing cables were left in the car. Required a large software update too. Took about 1-2 hours in total depending on the fitter.

    Just been to check my 2018 NX. Same bumps next to the child lock switch. Never noticed them before but they are definitely there on both rear doors so I assume it’s normal. Both are uniform, identical smooth bumps.

    Yes, correct, the car is described as having aluminium trim, not aluminium-effect trim.

    You should get Lexus to change one of the tyres to match the other. You mustn't have different tyres on the same axle even if the rolling radius is the same. Surprised a Lexus dealer did this and it can be dangerous with different compounds & treads on the same axle.

    Ordered 2nd March. I’ve not heard anything yet from the dealer which is why I’m going to contact them beginning of May (exactly 2 months in) to see if there’s any change of delivery date. Even if the car arrives late July I’m probably not going to collect until September. Delivery dates can slip (or come forward) due to many factors including trim, colour, weather, availability of parts et al.

    I haven’t heard yet from my dealer but I intend to contact him beginning of May when my order will have been in exactly two months. If my order goes back to August (was 20 July at time of order) then it’ll cement picking car up beginning of September rather than late July. I’m still toying with having a dash cam installed and maybe having the car’s frontal area wrapped.

    For me, the Takumi pack is worth it especially for the ML audio, 12.3" infortainment screen, heated steering wheel, power blind and HUD - i.e. all the things staring you in the face plus the benefit of the AHS triple lights. I wouldn't wish to be looking at the smaller infotainment screen knowing I could have upgraded to the 12.3" plus all the other goodies.

    Maybe the photos of the ES F Sport but the rear taillights looked smoked. Are they, as they look very smart?

    I’m surprised centres are permitted to sell ES models from the showroom as they’re not easily replaced. My nearest centre sold its ES showroom model to a walk in and now they can’t get a replacement from Lexus due to lack of stock. I’m thrilled for the walk ins though👍. The ES in F Sport trim looks stunning in white.

    Don’t forget the side view works even when the door mirrors are folded in. Handy, if you’re squeezing into a tight garage.

    Just been out to check. When the Auto button is lit the car shows the front or rear view plus the corresponding top down view when your speed drops below 8mph. The top down view can be further zoomed in if your click on the front or rear of the car. My top down view is always present whether I’m in drive or reverse. You can see the Auto button on the bottom right corner of the screen.

    It’s the same gap all the way around but I know what you mean about trying the side. It almost needs a tiny bit shaving off the underside of the cover to one side. I’ll explore more when I get my ES in the summer but it’s good to know we have a solution.

    Firstly, the US cable works fine with my iPhone XS Max. The ES and my NX both recognise the iPhone in the infotainment system. You need to remove the rubber USB cover first (don’t worry, it clips back on). The USB end of the cable works either side like Apple’s lightning cable and, yes, you can close the lid! But it’s a tight fit. For example, when you press the lid release button you’ve got to give it a gentle hand to release as the cable has wedged it shut. The cable, however, is braided so should put up with some abuse. Any questions - just ask. And now the pics...

    I just push the auto button and the front camera (and top down view) show every time I drop below 7mph. You should have reverse and top down when you engage reverse. You can also hover over the top down view to blow up the front or rear view.

    I hear you on that sort of thing. Some showroom cars look dreadful under the spot lights with swirls in the paint. Certainly doesn’t leave the factory like that.
  21. Habu
    I’m ok with the track pad, it’s the infotainment system that frustrates me at times. Strange re the rust spots. At least it’ll be swapped for new.
  22. Habu
    Vince, yes my camera on the NX is the same so I learn just to give it a wipe from time to time but my mileage is limited. If I was driving big mileage it would niggle. Re the boot plate it’ll get sorted. Has it been badly scratched?

    I personally don’t want the printed manuals. Firstly, they were probably printed months ago and could be slightly out date plus searching for information is harder than electronic. I have the digital copies of the Lexus manuals. Copied to iBooks on my iPad so the actual size is the same size as the printed version plus searching for stuff is easy and the added benefit of increasing or decreasing the text size, etc. Much better in my opinion

    When did you order for a proposed August date? I ordered 2 March and got a proposed ETA of 20 July. Be interesting to see when other members ordered and what their ETA is. We’ll be able to see if the lead times are consistent or getting better (or worse) with time.
  25. Habu
    We’ll need an ES Yorkshire met up sometime post September. Mine’s still due back end of July but I may wait until September. I’ll ask the Centre, shortly, for a line off date.
