The general quality at night is very good but let down by the fact its had to read the number plate on other cars. 

Thanks for the upload, food for thought

Here is some daytime footage from my camera.  I'll add night time footage over the weekend:

thanks thats pretty good, i'm intrigued to see the footage at night.

regarding the installation of dash cams, do the "pros" remove the head liner, a-pillar panel cover, etc?

or do they just try to tuck it way between the panel and the car (hope that makes sense).

i'm thinking to do it myself and remove things.

I haven’t actually driven at night yet. Will be doing at the weekend so I’ll upload some footage. 

No option of a rear camera. This particular model doesn’t support it. 

cool thanks, I need to decide what to get in the next couple of weeks.

The one i have fitted in my old IS200, has very good footage during the day, but at night, anything not infront of the car, is unreadable.

Just had one installed by Lexus Sheffield - very pleased with it, both in terms of quality and price.

It comes as a kit that Lexus/Toyota have put together which includes the following items:

• Nextbase 380GW (1080p Recording with GPS and WiFi) Link
• 16GB MicroSD Card
• NBDVRHK - Hard Wire Kit
• NBDVR380BAT - Battery Pack (to allow use of Intelligent Parking Mode - camera automatically starts recording if movement detected)

All in, including fitting it was £275 inc VAT.

The kit has the product code GBNGA-LEXDC-AM

Considering the camera on its own without the sd card, hardwire kit or battery is £179 I thought the price was excellent.  The quality of installation is great with no sign of wires at all.

It fits flush with the windscreen so the image quality is really good - the camera doesn't get shaken about.

 

 

How is the quality at night? is there a lot of glare? number plates easy to see from a fast moving car?

Also did you have an option to add a rear camera too?

I'll give it another try thanks.

i tried to contact Lexus through the blog like you suggested, but their twitter link doesnt work and i dont use facebook, therefore i kinda gave up

Nearly there, lucky you.

I still have a month to go

nice thanks for that.

I'm expecting mine in October., same as your car, except in black with mesa red interior.

How are you tracking your order?

I thought the NX now has the Kick function to open the boot?

 

apparently thats not avaliable in the European model

Am thinking of using Prestige Car Servicing to do my 20k service, has anyone used them before?

And does it, defiantly not affect my warranty?

Thanks for any help.

hi,

i've had my is200 for 2 and half years now. and i've only notice recently, how hard it is to still change gears. even if i put my foot down on the clutch, as far as i can. i still have to gently push it into every gear, or i can feel/ hear a grinding noise.

it is just me?

i'm still under warranty, so i guess i can get them to fix it? also would they also fix my boot lid? cos it doesnt open all the way up when i use the boot release button.

thanks for any help.

thanks for the help guys.

lexus woodford are saying £61 something for the front brake pads.

its should all cost me under £85 then. better than paying them about £150.

hi,

i was wondering if you guys could help me?

if i was to get an independent mechanic to fit on my front brakes, but i will obviously get the brakes from lexus.

would that invalidate my warranty? i have like 1 and half years left on it.

because i dont see the need to pay lexus £100 just to fit the brakes, when i can get it done for £20 from my local guy.

i know this guy from before, because my brother has used him before, to put brakes on his civic type-r.

thanks for any help.

i've called them, and they said they need to have a look before they will do anything, so lets see what happens tommorow.

thanks guys, i will do that.

has anyone got rust on the their alloys (the lastest ones with the 11 spokes)?

cos i recently noticed the bubbling near the edges of mine, wanted to know if warranty will sort it out.

thanks for any help.

ok then, thanks for your help

the total mileage on the car is 4700. but for some reason it seems abit sloppy going in 2nd gear sometimes.

is this normal?

it also comes with a rear boot spoiler. Also its abit more expensive now is well, at £21,995.

yeh that thing happens to me too, i always take the lights off when i need to use it.

i also get the brake nosie, but i just use the hand brake when i park rather than using the footbrake, no need to put unnecessary strain on them.

just get warrenty to sort it out.

cos my 53' plate, clio did that beautifully. damn lexus, its so hard to see sometimes.
