I just checked mine and it seems to have it too, it was hard to capture a photo of it. 

But it is small and circular with the center slightly pointy

New Kuga seems impressive in theory, but I don't like the looks tbh.

My next car will likely be a plug in hybrid. With a 15 mile commute, but longer journeys maybe once a month it makes sense for me. Probably...

CarWow new Kuga

Yeah I agree looks ain't great. 

Also I think my next car will be fully electric.

Is there a full hybrid version of the Kuga other than plug in? 

Yep with a claimed 50.4mpg

CarWow RAV4 Review

Aside from the inevitable criticism of the CVT gearbox, this is a pretty positive review. If the savings against an NX are significant, I'm struggling to think why you wouldn't have the RAV instead. Seems likely to be more economical, updated infotainment, similar looking interior and longer warranty.

Thoughts?

Because it's a RAV4🤭

All jokes aside I would get the new Ford Kuga over the RAV4, the amount of tech in that for the money is amazing. 

It doesn't work, not currently at least it, may just be a placeholder

I have finally installed the LEXUS app on my phone and also connected my car to the WiFi on my iPhone. 

I can now get weather local fuel prices etc. 

What I can’t seem to do is send the journey from my phone to the navigation system. The phone says sent to car but I don’t know how to access it. 

Any ideas? 

Have you registered your navigation system on the lexus website also logged into your account in your car? 

Once you do, you'll be able to send directions and it should be under favorites if I remember correctly

I'm able to connect fine, but don't waste your time as there is literally nothing there.

My Super NX will be delivered this month & extensive research has convinced me the only features my " Top of the Range" car will lack  are Memory Seats for the Front & Heated Seats in the Rear.

When it arrives @ the Dealership, I will check it has AVS, Pan Roof & ML & zero Memory Seats (my current IS was not specced but has the feature for the drivers seat).

Will be gutted if my Research has failed me & will cancel if the costly features are missing.

Quite Frustrating given how long the NX has been in Production

Unless its changed you also miss out on ventilated seats and heads up display. 

One of the reasons I decided to stick with the Premier over the sport.

I'd like access to your POIs. Mine doesn't bring anything up at the moment

Not sure if it works offline but when I have my mobile tethering enabled, I get POIs, as well as current petrol prices at the nearest pumps

I don't have a USB socket on my 2007 GS300 (AFAIK) but with the latest cars from Lexus with USB sockets, can an iPhone be plugged in and would the music from the iPhone play in the  correct order? As an aside, do recent Lexus models have Apple Car Play? Thanks.

Any reason you wouldn't just play the music through Bluetooth from modern models? 

There's talks about apple Car Play but no confirmation yet

When you click on the voice button on the steering wheel it gives you all the voice options 

have you tired the on board tutorial, I've managed to get it working albeit its not as good as google assistant

You can make a request to your Dealer for a hard copy of the manual.

As for the speed warning, it displays a camera icon and there is an audible tone to let you know about a speed camera up ahead.

have you tried looking for videos on how to remove it for other "newer" lexus models? it might be similar,

Also it might be worth reaching out to @Habu who has a thread about replacing his:

Yes it was a mini rather than Micro fuse piggy back unit and the fuse box lid doesn't fit.

I toyed with the idea of leaving it off but settled on cutting a hole in it to allow the fuse unit to fit.

ah cool, i've just left the lid in the glove box, dont know if i could bring myself to cutting a hole in the lid

@Nimbra@ilovemylexus72

when you guys piggybacked the fuse, did you guys leave the fuse box cover off? because I know the nextbase and I’m assuming others don’t have a micro fuse hardwire kit, but a mini.

If you think you'll need the warranty, have you considered shopping around, i.e warranty direct

I know the purpose of these thing are just incase, but it comes down to what's likely to cost you over £795 that will go faulty in the next 2 years. 

That's not too bad, in 2011 when I did the same thing on my 2004 is200, it cost around £850 at a lexus dealership. 

Assuming you just want your car to be able to use the Internet on the road. Just do what I do and enable Bluetooth tethering rather than WiFi tethering. 

That way everything (calls, music, Internet, etc) works through Bluetooth. 

I would call easily reachable dealers in your area for cost of parts, as I found they can be significantly different. 

On my old lexus is200 I brought the brakes from the dealer and all my local garages charged between £30-£35 to replace it, can't remember the cost of disc replacement. 

Same thing happens to my NX, I find it more convenient to just unlock the boot by the boot lid button once I get close to it. 

It baffles me why they decided to do that

I’m really struggling pick a power up, I’ve looked for the fuse box in the drivers foot well removed panel but it’s all relays and plugs any help appreciated 

It's on the passenger foot well area in the UK model. Once you remove the covers/trim below the glove box, you'll find it

For 2019, the Nav is said to be more intuitive with enhanced graphics.

The Pad may not be everybody's cup of tea but the display itself cannot be bettered.

Tel

really? there was no mention of that in their press release, to me it seems like there are simplifying trim levels

Hi do you use any app on your phone or does microcast work by just connecting to the phone without an ap.

through samsung phones, you can just use the "SmartView" feature, basically its the same way you would cast your  phone screen to your tv or chromecast.
