    Mine was working perfectly yesterday…

    Asked me for password twice this week whilst driving. Put it in at the end of each journey - such a pain!☹️
  3. hintonwood
    Same for me now. Previously it said the car was moving when it wasn’t. 😬 small steps….

    PS Coincidentally, when I parked my NX in a car park, someone parked the same colour UX as I had next to me.
  5. hintonwood
    Chris, I changed from UX to NX due to having a new grandchild and not being able to get the pushchair in the UX. I loved the UX but the NX is far easier to drive and park than the UX - it is squarer and has the 360 camera.

    Had my software updated for the XGG95 recall yesterday. The actual update only took 2 hours but I had a loan car anyway. Whilst it was in they replaced the fuel flap mechanism. Top marks to Lexus Hedge End for doing it for me at the same visit.

    This 18 inch wheel is for NX 2014 onwards so are you sure it will fit the new models from 2022? I would have thought that the bolt specs could be different. I also note that there is no 20 inch version. Buyer beware!

    Surprised to hear this Steve…. The service advisor at my local dealer offered me a loan car because they had not yet done a XGG95 update and did not know how long the update would take.🤔

    I got one screwdriver. I assume it is to lever off the plastic cover over the towing eye socket.

    Received a letter from Lexus about the XGG95 recall to reprogram the ECU again - this time for a fault with the TSS3 safety system. This is my 4th recall for ECU issues. Very inconvenient with a 60 mile round trip each time.☹️

    My 2022 350h Takumi came with a towing eye and screwdriver to get the towing eye cover off. No other tools due to the 20 inch run flats.
  12. hintonwood
    My DCM update XGG78 was performed in January at my 12m service and I haven’t noticed any problems since.
  13. hintonwood
    Thanks. Makes sense that I never got offered it then!

    @robby666 what was the £500 for? I ordered my NX 350h in September 2021 and received the car in Feb 2022 but never heard of a goodwill payment for 2021 orders.
  15. hintonwood
    Thanks….. and I always call the colour Nori Green Pearl - this is what they call it in the US and I think it sounds much better than Terrane Khaki Metallic!😜
  16. hintonwood
    Congratulations! I have had the NX350h Takumi in the same colour combination for 13 months and 12k miles. I love it!😬

    Alex, are you saying that putting your iphone face down works on the 2022 NX phone charger? The problems all relate to the latest NX. Is your charger manufactured in 2020?
  18. hintonwood
    Thanks John. Their Tyre finder doesn’t recognise the ‘new’ (over 12 months old now!) model NX Tyre search by size shows no self seal tyres available for the 20 inch NX.
  19. hintonwood
    Thanks for that Brian. Very interesting video. I had no idea they existed. I will do the research. As @NiCoRe said, I expect there to be limited choice in the 20 inch tyres. I did see somewhere else that people were fitting 245 wide rather than 235’s so that may be a possibility.
  20. hintonwood
    Mine were fitted in January 2022 so I would not be surprised if Lexus found a fix for it. Pity they can’t fix all the other niggling issues!🤪
  21. hintonwood
    Maybe they did in the end. I haven’t tested my DAB.
  22. hintonwood
    My Lexus Dealer refused to fit a rear Dashcam due to the number of people who had complained that it interfered with the DAB. I asked them to do it and said that I would be happy to lose DAB reception as I don’t listen to the radio often. Of course, I was happy to put this in writing so there was no danger of me ever logging a DAB reception complaint. If I sell the car I will pass that info on - a new owner may want to ditch the camera to get perfect DAB.
  23. hintonwood
    I am guessing it would not be easy to source if it had gone flat Andy. We were travelling on a Sunday and the earliest anyone could offer fitting was late Wednesday for one and Thursday for the rest. I guess if it was flat we would have to be recovered by Lexus Assist and driven to our destination unless a local Lexus Dealer or Tyre company near Oxford had one.
  24. hintonwood
    I hadn’t heard of self-sealing car tyres Brian and I was thinking i had some time before considering what to replace all 4 run flats with! No point in having a mixture of run flat and non run flat I think?
  25. hintonwood
    They are 20 Inch.
