Hi Javier, welcome! I have had the Android Auto upgrade too but I haven't tried playing my music from my USB stick yet. I will try it tomorrow and see if it works for me and let you know. Cheers!

Same here!

? - the fuse is already in the car, and everything else is in the fitting kit...? I assume you have the Series 2 hardware kit and the Low Profile Mini Fuse tap which you have to ask Nextbase for as it's not in the kit. It's free but make sure you ask them for it. I see I said all this before. Sorry! 🙄 https://www.nextbase.com/en-gb/accessories/series-2-hardwire-kit/

Hi John, I used the 5A ACC fuse to piggy back onto, on the "lid diagram" it's bottom right but one. Note that the lid will no longer fit on once you've piggy-backed, so just keep it somewhere safe, preferably in the car! HTH

I'll look for you in the morning, John.

Yes... a long thread here, all about it... However, I don't accept that it can't be rectified - of course it can, if Lexus put the appropriate amount of work into it. My dealer swaps out my sensors when I report them and the problem does seem to go away.

Reviewed by Which in 2014, they said, "The Lexus NX complies with emission limits in official tests. However, when faced with our own, more realistic emission tests, the amount of CO (carbon monoxide) produced was so vast that it would not only fail all EU emissions limits set this century, but the Euro 1 limits from 1992 - despite it being a hybrid." I knew this before I bought mine in 2019 and it didn't put me off. I also wrote to Which to ask them to retest as there have been a few tweaks since then. Looks like they never did, so still quote this fact all the time. ☹️

Totally agree.

I've definitely had EV mode at 50mph - I don't think it's that unusual. Depends on circumstances.

If you check out the earlier parts of this thread, you will see that no one so far has reported a cat theft from an NX, probably because the cat is so difficult to get to (see all the diagrams and discussion). On the RX it's easily accessible and aided by the height of the vehicle. I don't worry any more as I have an NX.

What model do you have? If an NX you really have nothing to worry about. If an RX you probably need to take precautions.

Chuffed to bits with my Android Auto upgrade on my NX 2019. Having Google Maps displaying satellite view is fabulous. It suggests destinations based on where I've been before at similar times, and having to plug it in when I get in the car is simply not any sort of issue at all. Much prefer Google Maps to Waze (also owned by Google) as, like someone else has said, it is too cartoon like for me. Google Maps remains the original and best Android map system.

Really helpful! Cheers 👍

Undoubtedly spot on. Looks need to be kept for the next gen, perhaps even crisper, but the drivetrain needs a nice more-performance, better-economy improvement as per RAV4. I have no doubt this is exactly what it will get! 🙂

Thanks - I need to check for this, though I did look before and couldn't find anything I thought was "P"-related! 😊 - which I had thought was odd at the time!

Having said that, if I'm wrong, do please let me know! 🤔

It's really irritating - you can switch off the "Assist" part, so it doesn't brake for you but the sensors still insist on trying to assist you! And the warning message comes back 10 seconds after you "acknowledge it". 😡

You can't!

My car's in at this very moment having 4 sensors replaced.... will see...

Seriously?! In the metal bodywork!? I wouldn't be happy... 😱

Great to discuss these things. Will do and I'll be back in touch 👍

I hear what you say! I just can't help feeling that heavy water pressure is involved in some way, it's really the only explanation. Bearing in mind, I went from having no issues to having 3 sensors all misbehaving simultaneously... Just doesn't make sense...

Will certainly keep you updated on how things go. 👍

It's making me think... I recently (and I mean at the last wash a week ago) applied a few sprays of Autoglym Ceramic Coating to the car.... first time I've used it... Surely it can't have been that!? I'm currently in South West Wales experiencing some dreadful weather and each time I go out, I now have front left, left centre and right centre sensors going nuts... detecting things that aren't there and generally causing a complete nuisance of themselves. I've had to turn off the auto-braking lest it should try braking me with a false positive - I've had "BRAKE" appear a few times already 😩 Unfortunately I don't have a silicon spray with me but when I get home (also Wales before anyone says anything!) I'll be drying the sensors and giving it a try. I have to say that I can totally see that if water gets round those little rubber ring seals, it probably would cause a problem and I imagine silicon or Vaseline might stop that, as long as you're not locking any water inside.

And? Has the silicon worked again?
