    Things have changed since Covid. The Lexus dealer near me, £8k off without too much negotiating, the ceramic coat and paint protection were dealer arranged, but a third party carries out the work, warranties it for 5 years and 5 years wheel scuff and paint scratch insurance all part of the deal.

    Why? all you have to do is say "hey Siri" totally hands free, no button pressing at all

    Which is rubbish for me as I only use DAB

    Try using voice to select a DAB station and you'll be disappointed. Mine too worked going from a DAB station to an FM station. That was on my NX 300h 2020 I wouldn't use Apple Maps, they are terrible. Once in London it couldn't find the pub that was right behind me! For NAV I'm sticking with Waze due to the "safety" camera updates.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't think I'll bother and just stick with Apple CarPlay and Siri then.

    Hi All, Some advice, or instruction would be most helpful. After nearly 2 years of owning a NX with the larger screened Infotainment system I thought I'd give the voice commands a go. Works OK for choosing a FM radio station from the pre-sets, but for the life of me I cannot get it to recognise a single DAB station. Any ideas / hints of what I'm doing wrong?

    I agree with the OP in some respects. Steering wheel is a RAV-4 hand me down, too much black plastic on the dash. Shiny piano black centre console which scratches and gets finger "printy" almost immediately. External body too square Tonka Toy-esqe for my tastes. But a great technological advancement over the older version and a comfy ride.

    It's more than likely the rubber seal around the tailgate. Spray it with some silicone, that should cure it.

    Or may be people could just take the jokes for what they are, jokes.

    A car with climate control and all its clean air filters keeping the scum from your nostrils, what sort of muppet opens a window? Nothing wrong with the car, get better passengers who don't fiddle!

    That's actually a clever idea. The old style on the back of the filler cover, you could easily close the cover and forgetting to screw in the filler cap. With the version in the picture, the filler cover won't close due to the filler cap obstructing the hinge, so you can't forget.

    Yep, it'll charge, but nothing else. And the USB plug-ins are right "there" too, which provide connectivity and ApplePlay, a nice feature, but redundant. Unless you only use Bluetooth to connect to the car, but with AP and AA why would you?
  13. Al D-Much
    Wireless charging in the arm rest is great, just chuck your phone in and forget about it. But. You'll need something like a Car2Play unit ( https://cplay2air.com/) for wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay. As the NX 300h 2021 only connects via USB. I have that set up in my 2020 300h.

    That's why I use Apple CarPlay, a 'simple' mirror of your phone contacts and settings without the faff
  15. Al D-Much
    Not sure if UK dealers will do that. Admittedly i haven't asked, and it doesn't bother me
  16. Al D-Much
    You can't

    I'm with you on that one. Also in a car installing decent Hi-Fi is a challenge due to the environment. tin box, glass, road noise, wind noise etc.
  19. Al D-Much
    Bugger that's me out for sure now the extra height and width means the new NX won't fit through the gate or in the garage.
  20. Al D-Much
    I meant the boot button on the boot lid, above the number plate if you just press the boot button on the remote, nothing happens, you need to unlock the car first then press the boot button

    Carbon fibre, it's all about the carbon fibre, oh and the Aluminium pedals of course 🙂

    I'll stick with real leather. I mean you've got to do something with the skins after you've eaten steak.
  23. Al D-Much
    I'm obviously missing something, as I don't get why anyone would want the convenience of a hybrid car that you have then plug in. To me it's like having to fill it up twice.
  24. Al D-Much
    not fog lights, they are cornering lights. The lower light clusters have two lamps per side inner (ahead) ones are the fog lights, the outer are the cornering lights

    #4 using the boot button unlocks the whole car and opens the boot
