Tim, the manual for my car shows the fusebox under the glovebox, does yours not? Hopefully it will show you the locations of all yours just as mine does...

I've fitted a Nextbase webcam (front only) to a 2019 NX F sport and quite happily found the fuse box behind the glovebox. It has about 20 fuses in it and I piggybacked one of the ACC fuses so that it's switched with the ignition. No problem at all. Not sure why a Takumi wouldn't have that fuse box. You took off the cover under the glove box? It's up underneath at the left hand side. Little white plastic cover on it...

I'd simply wait for the NX facelift! There are few cars better looking than the NX to me. So I don't agree with your desirability comment. An Audi is very undesirable to me, they're as common as muck! 😏

I have the 2019 FSport. I read the same as you, was deeply worried about the ride being harsh. I needn't have worried it feels plush and rides beautifully in my mind. The AVS system apparently makes it harder in Sport mode, but frankly it doesn't seem to make much difference to me. Comfortable whichever way you drive it. I also had the new RAV4 in my final list but went for the NX because it looks loads better than the RAV (in and out) and is a luxury brand. I'm very happy with my decision. Worry not, it's a lovely car and only sounds a bit noisy when the engine races. I find I rarely drive it that way! I love my car.

This looks like the current NX from the back. The badge just looks wrong!! 😊

Always assumed it was for an id card or credit card etc...

Hi David, yes, I can confirm that the charger starts immediately that power is applied, so should do what you're after. 👍

So, for info, I checked the voltage with a multimeter this time (on 2 cars) to see whether the Foxsur unit (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123996353457) was measuring correctly and on the one I got 13.17v on the multimeter and 13.2v on the Foxsur. I think this is reasonable given that it rounded up as it only displays to 1 decimal place. On the other battery I got readings of 12.8v on both the multimeter and the Foxsur, so I'm happy that it's accurate.

I think I'm right in saying that that was the concept car for the current car! 😊

I will meter check it the next time I charge and see if I get the same issue.

I bought one of these, is fully automatic and runs as soon as you switch on at the mains, so should do as you want on a timer if you wished. HTH https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123996353457

Here are the relevant pages of the tech document, there is overlap... and I'm not certain of the precise order, but it's all there - there are two parts - one for cars with the GPF (gas particulate filter) and one for cars without it. Essentially they're not a lot different and I don't think the 300h has the GPF... (anyone?) Hope they help. Steve

I'll dig out the diagram of I can.

Thanks John, so one of the electric motors is the starter motor! How come it doesn't need such high current as a normal starter motor?! 🤔

I have to say the system intrigues me. I have a 2019 NX 300h - and I have an AA Car Genie fitted, which under normal circumstances monitors the car for faults - and on my previous car, a diesel Nissan X-Trail, it would happily tell me that my 12v battery had good charge for weeks on end. Now that the Genie is in my NX, it regularly a day or so after using the car, tells me that the 12v battery is low on charge and could do with a drive to charge it up. I have on a number of occasions now, ignored this warning and left it another week or so before getting in the car and driving it off quite normally. So now I don't know whether the Genie is misunderstanding the hybrid system and the role of the 12v battery and is a bit hypersensitive about it, or whether actually I should be charging the battery up far more than I am, and that I'm risking not being able to "start" the car...!? I read, on here, I think, that the cars don't have starter motors as such and the 12v has no possible way of providing the power required to start the engine - which begs the questions: is it true that there is no "starter motor" as such, does the 12v battery not matter much then if the charge is low, and is my Genie misunderstanding a hybrid 12v battery's role? Can anyone with hybrid knowledge explain, please? The answers could all be connected to your issue, I think.... Cheers

Thanks Timmon, spot on. 👍👍

Took the car out for the first time in a few weeks today (on an allowed journey, before anyone says anything!), I noticed that a message was displayed on the Infotainment screen that said "Service Gone". This message seems to be in place of the one that normally says it can't download from the database server due to no internet. Anyone know what the significance of this new message is?

For anyone interested in Android Auto in the NX and retrofitting, in the UK, I can confirm that Lexus UK are able to let you know if your car is suitable for retrofitting with Android Auto capability. I let them have my NX F Sport 2019 model registration and they confirmed I'll be able to have it fitted from May this year. Just wish I knew if it was going to cost me. Nevertheless I'm quite sure it'll be worth it.

Thanks 👍 I have to say I've been far more relaxed leaving my car places since I found this out. I seriously don't think a CatLoc is required for it... Cheers Steve

This is not my experience so far. Both my key fobs are still fine, 6 months in. I do keep them both in RFID safe pouches though.

Copy that, I'm a big Autoglim fan already. Off to Halfords I go. Cheers

Hmm... good point.... recommendations for the best stuff to wipe the leather with? I'm used to cleaning the trim with trim cleaner, not always best for leather....

Your car won't be connected via Bluetooth unless the ignition is on, so I don't think it's the car causing your problem.

I don't believe so, but the buzz you get should change according to the distance to the nearest object (not to mention a display indicating the distance in the centre of your console) so you should be able to tell if something is VERY close. Mine also buzzes as I pull into my drive, but I'm never blasé about it, and quite happy that the car is nervous about the gap its got! Makes me think every time. Good luck with the repair.

The 2019 NX F Sport and Takumi both have the Adaptive Headlights System.
