Hi Paul, welcome 🤗 This is the section for all NX models and specs.

I agree that if a thief wants a car they'll go to extremes to get it. Locally thieves smashed down the front door of a house and demanded the keys to 2 vehicles, from the terrified owners, which they duely took. However I'm not sure I would want my car back after it was stolen as they often trash the vehicle after/during using it, unless it went to a chop shop if they were able remove the tracker.

Depends if you have no alternative

I think that may come down to the cost of a replacement unit for a UX250 v NX 450h

What I'm struggling to understand is that the Gen2 NX uses UWB with its key fob (no key cloning) and TSK software rendering canbus attacks ineffective. So why such a push to install these trackers on Gen2 vehicles? Is there a significant insurance premium discount associated with their fitment? If not I don't see the benefit.

Can someone explain to me what the OBD part of this tracker is?. Surely any thief worth their salt will unplug anything connected to the OBD port rendering it ineffective?

It will if you set screen demist/defrost on

Ronnie... I'm sure I've asked you before but which model do you have?....still no 12v battery issues?

Pre-conditionng will use the Traction battery unless you also specify screen defrost/clear when it will start the ICE by default. If you start the car manually then it will expect the key to remain inside the car so better to use the app.

I used one of these and never had a problem https://www.industrialextensionleads.co.uk/5m-rcd-protected-single-socket-13amp-heavy-duty-extension-lead-10285-p.asp

Definitely Dave.... they're just being lazy it seems

Every Lexus and Toyota I've bought new, the dealership provided the registration before collection.

Marita....as per Ken's comments above you should charge it when required. If you use all the EV miles each day then yes charge daily, but there's no technical need to do so. I'm currently achieving about 47 miles on a full traction battery but it has been above 50 during warmer weather. As mentioned there will be a big dip in EV range during colder weather.

Ken.......that is certainly the case with the plug in 450h but not the Gen 1 NX350h

IIRC the port you want is in the storage space under the armrest and is highlighted
