Guys, have just found that you don't need to enable a WiFi hotspot on your phone if you have a Bluetooth connection that you can also setup tethering on. On my Samsung Galaxy S8, there is a setting called Bluetooth Tethering, which has to be set ON to allow Bluetooth connected devices to use the Bluetooth connection for internet access. When I switch this on and disable my phone's WiFi hotspot, the Lexus uses the Bluetooth to fetch Streetview, fuel prices, traffic info, etc.... I've been vocally complaining that the car has to have two connections Bluetooth and WiFi, and it doesn't. I just needed to enable Bluetooth Tethering on my phone. I imagine most other high end phones will have this setting too, not sure what iPhones do....

Hi Tony, I don't think you're doing anything wrong by the sound of it. My connection to my phone's hotspot drops out occasionally but then reconnects almost straightaway. It's irritating (as I've said before) that the car can't use the Bluetooth connection for everything-internet instead of needing 2 connections active simultaneously.

Speak for yourself!! 😎

Well, perhaps you need to realise we're all different!

I have to say that I find Auto High Beam one of the most impressive, not to say useful technological advances of recent vehicles. Now that I have Adaptive High Beam on the NX, I can essentially have high beam on all the time without having to dip. I though also wish it activated earlier than 36mph. And, Herbie, it was a pre requisite for my car choice...

Glad you got it sorted, now enjoy your fantastic new car 🙂

Nothing like this on my new NX F Sport. Sorry.

Hi Ryan, my car's not yet 3 months old and I'm glad to say no such experience yet. If that changes I'll certainly be on here to let you know. Good luck with a fix, please let us know what happens.

I like it, but I probably wouldn't buy it! 😳

Same here, Chester was great to me.

No problem in my new 2019 NX, so far anyway. I agree with the above suggestions.

I expected my clocks to change automatically to adjust for the end of British Summer Time today, but they didn't, it seems I have to manually go in and switch off the Daylight Saving Time option in the infotainment settings. I have got auto adjust from GPS switched on. Surprising... my phone and heating boiler can do it... Is this everyone else's experience too?

Herbie, thanks for your suggestion, I didn't know you could do that and £3.14 later (1 hour access), I can confirm that the NX has two Three Way Catalytic Converters, one in the engine compartment (the main one) and the other a much smaller one (it seems) on the very front of the angled front section of the exhaust system, and I suspect not easy to access at all as it's just below the engine compartment. The box that is visible under the car is not a cat, it's the main exhaust muffler. Useful exercise and I feel much better now 😉 Thank you very much for the suggestion. 👍

Thanks Andy, all sounds very promising. As you say, we could do with some confirmation from Lexus in some way. The only reason I'm not looking at my own car is because it's absolutely heaving down outside and has been all day! 🌧️😳 Cheers, I'll see what I can find out.

Please see this thread, and in particular Nicos' response regarding the position of the NX cat.

Nicos, that's very interesting indeed - does anyone else have any thoughts on this please? If it's true (and I have no reason to disbelieve it), that's great news. 🙂 Cheers, Nicos

Hi Kevin, I think the NX has an alarm that would be sensitive to movement of the type you describe, it's a matter of whether it would be moved enough during a theft to trigger the alarm. Still no one saying they've had their NX cat stolen though, so good so far.

Well Herbie, perhaps it would have helped if I'd said "Hi folks, I am a little concerned at the moment..." but thanks for your help anyway. Your Dad was probably right.

Same. Following!

Ok folks, I'm quite petrified at the moment of parking my new NX in public car parks around the UK, in case it's targeted by catalytic converter thieves. Has anyone on here with a 300h had theirs stolen? Or, has anyone secured theirs somehow?

I didn't realise you could route trace, interesting...

Well, that's a relief! 😨

That's what I'm hoping 👍

Anyone fitted mudflaps to their NX 2018 on? How easy? There's a little gap of paint behind each wheel that's not protected by plastic and they're worrying me.... 😳
