As a person who reads every word of the owner's manual on the first day of ownership, these Deep Dive Tutorials are worlds better. Thank you again!!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks very much, @A. Nona Mouse! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. Congratulations on your new NX!

[@MrThommCollins]

To both Northside Lexus and Melissa O'Connell: The term, "thank you" just does not adequately express my gratitude for your videos. I am on the West Coast, but watched MANY of the videos (completely) with Melissa O'Connell and they helped me to decide on the purchase of a 2024 Lexus NX 350h. Her detailed descriptions and concise instructions helped give the ability to make an educated decision and confidence in my choice. If I lived in Texas I would be your most loyal customer. Thank y'all so very much!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Wow, thank you! Thank you so much 😀 Congratulations on your new NX350h! I'm so glad I could help you learn all about it and feel good about your choice in vehicles. I really appreciate your support!

[@user-qx4yv1db7g]

Absolutely excellent Mellisa. These videos make it easier than reading through the manual 10/10

[@NorthsideLexus]

Aww! Thank you so much for your support! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos! ☺

[@village_mayor]

Melissa you and your team are amazing, even though I didn't buy the NX from you and don't even live in the same country! Your videos are so helpful. As a community let's try to get her NX videos to the top!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Awwww! Thank you so much @Villagemayor!! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and they are helping you make the most of your new NX! What a treat! Thanks very much for all of your support!

[@village_mayor]

@@NorthsideLexus We as NX owners want to thank you for producing these videos. They are a lot of work and we all benefit even though we don't live in Houston. I am a member of various groups and your videos are mentioned and recommended. Keep up the great work!

[@NorthsideLexus]

@@village_mayor ☺Thank you so so much!

Absolutely incredible work! I work in IT and you taught me things I didn’t even know about Apple CarPlay! You’re so through and your voice is so soothing.

[@dms9275]

Hi Melissa, I would like to thank you and your team for making your great training videos on KZbin. They are very easy to follow and very comprehensive. I picked up my 2023 Lexus NX 350h vehicle last Saturday (Feb 25th). Since I listened to your the NX Deep Dive Training videos twice before picking up the car it simplified everything making me familiar with most of the vehicle's features. Thanks again from Dan in Canada. You guys are great.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much! I wish I had a team LOL! I would be able to get more videos done for everyone and much faster! I'm really glad you like them! Thanks for being here!

[@rdmizzou12]

The depth and breadth of your tutorial is just tremendous. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm sure many Lexus clients are grateful!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful for you! Thanks for tuning in with me!

[@andyml1]

Greetings from London, UK, Melissa…I have another 9 months to wait out of the 12 after ordering and am very grateful for your highly professional videos in the interim. You’ll have put a lot of work into preparing this excellent video and it’s very much appreciated. Northside Lexus is very lucky to have you on the team! Many thanks. 👍

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much, Andy! You are so kind! I'm sorry you are having to wait so long for your new NX, but I hope you will love it when it arrives! I'm happy to help you be ready to make the most of it! Thanks again for your comment and for watching!

[@Randyindecatur]

Perfect timing!! We pick up our new NX Monday. I can't imagine all the hours it took to plan, record, edit, and produce this and all of your videos. While I live in Illinois and could not be a customer of your dealership I truly thank you for the amazing effort and resources you and your production crew put in to this channel. It's truly amazing!! Thank you, thank you!!!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Oh my gosh you are so sweet! You just made my day! I don't have a production crew...it's just me, a few different smart phones, a blutooth mic, a couple of tripods and my Macbook Pro! LOL! I do this in any spare time I can find during my full time jobs at the dealerships. I really enjoy it and I'm so glad the quality is good for everyone! I really appreciate your kind words and support! Thank you so much for being here!

What model and color?Called dealer last week for a new NX fsport ! It will be coming in the end of the month! I am stoked presently driving a 2019 V wagon alltrack ! I thought about a hybrid but I maybe put on 5 to 8000 miles per year!

[@ArmyWestPointAV8R]

Melissa…I’ve had my NX350 for about a month now. Just found your video…the fact that I can set the climate settings with remote start is a game changer! Didn’t know I could do that. I have the Premium package with the ginormous 14” screen. My best car ever. Thank you for these tutorials!!!❤🎉

[@NorthsideLexus]

That's awesome! I'm so glad I could help! Thanks very much for watching and I hope you enjoy your new NX!

[@skylarstarks]

You’re the best!! I can’t even try to make a video on the NX. You do it so well. I send our guests to your videos all the time!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Wow, thank you so much @Skylar! It's so awesome to see you on here with me! Thanks as always for all of your support!

[@loveLeeAnne99]

Thank you SO much for making these videos! I'm learning how to use my car and I can tell they put SO MUCH thought into it 🥰🥰

[@marciamorris2492]

All I can say is MIND BLOWN!!!!!! I don't know what I would have done without these videos. I just recently purchased the 2024 NX 450+ P and luv it so far.

[@NorthsideLexus]

You are so sweet! Thanks so much for being here! Congrats on your new NX450h+ 😊

[@tbartman]

Again another amazing video!!! Like someone below said, I read the manual front to back twice, but learned SO much more by watching these. Thanks also for the index so I can some back to specific spots later if I need a refresh. I hope someone at Lexus corporate appreciates the effort you put into this. It must have taken tons of time to record and edit!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thank you so much for your support and very kind comments! I'm glad to get to help you learn even more about your Lexus NX! The Deep Dive videos are definitely a labor of love. I work on videos for us in my spare time between my normal job duties. I started the long videos because of the pandemic and not being able to teach our Guests in person about their new Lexus. I had no clue they would be such a hit. I was originally planning on stopping once the world opened back up, but so many people enjoy them so I'm going to keep making them. I wish I could get them done faster, but I just work steady at it and appreciate everyone's patience when it takes me a while ;) Thanks again for tuning in with me!

[@mikebedford4362]

Unbelievably informative video!! Can’t believe the level of detail you’ve gone to and I so appreciate that you did. The very best I’ve seen on KZbin - thanks heaps!😊

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful for you! Thank you very much for tuning in with me!

[@deanjohnson8229]

Melissa: Thank you SO MUCH for these great videos. Our NX450h+ came from a dealer 300 miles away, so they could not help with detailed instructions. This was FAR BETTER than any manual. Thanks again. Great job!

[@NorthsideLexus]

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks very much for tuning in with me!

[@hirovision]

we just picked up our 450h+ on Wednesday May the 4th!! Its great that you did part 2, thank you for taking time to do this video!!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad it is perfect timing for you to learn more about your new 450h+. Hope you enjoy it! I still can't wait to get my hands on that model! If I'm able to get access to one for filming I'll do a special video for anything I'm able to learn about it that may help. It will probably be a while, but in the mean time I've seen some pretty good information on the RAV4 Prime that may help. Enjoy your new Lexus!

[@bsukid08]

I just took delivery of my 2025 Lexus NX this weekend! I absolutely love it! Thank you so very much for your videos! They are so very helpful! I learned so many new things about my NX!

Great video. I have had my 350h for about six weeks now and thought I had covered most settings. But after viewing part 2 I found another 5 items I didn't realize I could change and wanted to. My Lexus sales guy in Toronto, Canada was impressed by your part I and recommended you. So you are becoming well known in the Lexus world.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much, Gary! Congratulations on your new 350h! I'm so happy to be able to help you learn even more about it! How fun that your sales person is enjoying the videos also! Thank you again for taking the time to leave a message :)

[@samsacre]

I’m getting my Fsport End of the month I was wondering when you turn the lights on in the app function does it turn all the lights on or gives you option for parking lights? I’m not crazy about the radar cruise in my wife’s RAV4 , I like the idea of being able to change the following distance my biggest complaint was slowing down too early on approach of another vehicle! Enjoy!

[@paulaolivero181]

[@bobdbeck]

I just took delivery of my NX350 Luxury vehicle and so far love it. These deep dive videos are invaluable to learn the ins and outs of what are now fairly complicated tech heavy vehicles. The one thing I didn't see on either deep dive videos was how to activate the headlight washers. I couldn't find any mention of it in the Lexus manual either. It took me quite a while to find even a mention of it on KZbin and although not complicated to activate you still have to know the sequence to use it. Not that it's a big deal but it probably should have been noted when I picked up my vehicle and went through the tutorial with the Lexus rep. Thanks for the great videos.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi @bacon2bacon! Thanks so much for tuning in! How did I miss that?!? Headlamp washers are linked to windshield washer operation and the headlights must be on. I'm not sure this link will work, but try this: assets.sia.toyota.com/publications/en/om-s/OM78341U/pdf/OM78341U.pdf page 217, for more detail. In case the link doesn't work: This is what the Owner's Manual has: Pull the lever. (Front windshield washer) The front wipers and washers will operate. The front wipers will automatically operate a couple of times after the front washers operate. Vehicles with headlight cleaners: When the headlights are on and the lever is pulled and held, the headlight cleaners will operate once. After this, the headlight cleaners will operate every 5th time the lever is pulled. I'll make sure to mention this in future videos. Thanks again!

[@mrkfrtz]

Wonderful video! Thank you for doing this, it is really good work. It is obvious how much effort was put into the video and it is appreciated as a new customers.

I'm not sure what they did to finally retrieve them, but I think the keys went to sleep and even the batteries needed to be jumped because they sat so long without being driven.

That’s fantastic! Did it bring your NX to version 1040? They just announced this to us as well that the OTA was being sent out. It will roll out is small batches so the servers can manage all of the updates at once, if that were to happen. It’s a smart, slow and steady approach to the roll out.

Thank you for the tutorials and Tech Tip Tuesdays. One idea for a Tip Tuesday might be how to clean the NX350h car , especially as it pertains to automatic car washes (what to do to prep for one, which ones to use and not to use, any special tips because of the battery, other tips, etc.). Thanks.

[@NorthsideLexus]

I LOVE this idea! I do get asked about how to manage things in a car wash. Since there are different types of car wash conveyers and self driven, I'll need to do some more research, but I love this suggestion and will work it! Right now I am buried in LX footage for that deep dive and am way behind on finding time to edit. (Sigh). This is on the list though! Thanks so much!

[@Rightonrightoff]

Melissa is simply amazing and so is this channel. I’m not even sure if there’s ever a better source for lexus products than this channel anywhere else. Corporate needs to invest in content production as well as in Melissa and team to incorporate her work for all products across all markets. This is incredible work and they’ve been doing it for a minute across all products. It was her GS video that helped me a lot when I got mine. Props to y’all. I see you Melissa and keep doing ya thing. We appreciate ya!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Aww! Thank you so much for your amazingly supportive comment! I really appreciate you! You've made my day!

[@Rightonrightoff]

@@NorthsideLexus oh my god. I just learned that you’re doing all of this by yourself. I’m blown away. I really thought this was a team effort. You are that amazing. I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be to film and edit all of this by yourself. Wow. Simply wow.

[@NorthsideLexus]

@@Rightonrightoff You are so sweet! The team effort is in the learning and training. I learn so much from the Lexus College, Lexus area trainers and this amazing group called the Lexus Inner Circle that I am part of. We have about 15 of us across the country and we try to help each other learn and troubleshoot anything we can get our hands on. Then I go through the vehicles with a fine tooth comb and film like crazy and edit like crazy. I really enjoy it. My actual job is as a Lexus Technology Specialist (yep, that's a real thing), in-house trainer and Department Director for Technology and Outreach for our two stores. I never dreamed these deep dive tutorials would be such a hit. I only started making them, because of the pandemic. I wasn't able to sit in person and teach the features to new owners so this was a virtual lesson back up plan. Now it is a big part of what I do each day and I am so grateful for the opportunity! People like you, who take the time to share your support make it all worth it!🤗

@@samsacre That's awesome! Yes, it has been a dream!

[@Mrnovanova]

I've been waiting for this video. Thanks you. I think that predictive efficient driving feature is enabled for me out here in Canada without being visible. The reason why I say that is that I've been experiencing a weird behavior where the Nav system tells me to take the service road when there is medium to light traffic. I figured that it might be due to the fact that city driving is more efficient that highway driving on hybrid vehicles. No one at Lexus was able to confirm it though.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Wow! That is really interesting. I know there are some traffic rerouting customizations, but that would be really cool if the feature is on in the background to help also. I'll see if I can find out anything about it. I haven't been able to locate a lot of details, but hope to get more training when we start receiving our PHEVs since they use that feature as well. I'll make sure to share any scoop I get :) Thanks so much for being here!

Hi Melissa, I would like to thank you and your Dealership for producing some great content. Do you know if you rename favorite addresses in the Navigation ? Thanks again from Montreal

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! At the moment we are not able to customize the names of favorite destinations in the new Lexus Interface NAV system. We have given this feedback to Lexus, however and hope it will come as a future app or Drive Connect update. Thanks for checking in with me about it!

Wonderful tutorial! The most complete tutorial about NX 2022 in the entire internet. Just a question about Android Auto. Is Android Auto compatible with wireless connectivity?

[@daniellemanzi6685]

Hi Melissa! Your Deep Dive tutorials are so extremely helpful! I am a newer technology specialist and I have used all your tutorials! I have a question about the navigation, within settings there is an option to display the speed limit on the map. It is enabled, but I never see a speed limit show while driving. Do you know if the speed limit is supposed to show at all times on the navigation screen, or will it only display when I have a destination entered in? In your video the setting was also enabled but I did not see the speed limit show anywhere. I checked the digital manual and there is an example picture showing the speed limit on the right side while a destination is entered. The road sign assist feature is on and is working like normal. I was wondering if you have had any customers with the same question? Thank you!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Danielle, Sorry for the delay! Thank you so much for tuning in with me. Congratulations on your new Technology Specialist position! It is a very rewarding job. You will help so many people! I'm really glad my videos are help you to learn the vehicles! That is so cool! I get a lot of questions about the speed limit signs on the map, on Enform and Interface vehicles. You definitely need to have the setting on for the map, Road Sign Assist turned on, Speed Limit Notification set to Visual or Audible and Visual. But I have noticed that if the camera doesn't catch the sign for some reason, it may not show it or may show the previously seen sign until it sees a new one. You should not have to have a destination in the system. I hope this helps! Thanks again for being here!

[@victoriamurdoch5645]

First I have to say a HUGE thank you for doing these videos. They are the BEST! Can you answer a question for me? How do I set the radio to mute when I push the talk button for Siri? Thank you so much.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much for reaching out. I’m sorry for the delay I have been out of the office for the holiday. Right now, Apple is not allowing the audio to mute or “duck” during voice commands, texting or navigation from the phone. It seems to only mute for phone calls. I’m experiencing this also, in my new NX. I have found two ways to deal with it, neither are a perfect solution. Here’s what I have found that works, in the meantime: 1. Turn the sound system off. This seems silly, but it is fast. Just press the radio power/volume button. Then give your commands and turn the sound system back on when you’re ready. 2. Press and HOLD the Mode button on the steering wheel to mute the audio before giving your command or pressing the Talk button on the steering wheel to give a command. If you have a HUD, then you will need to locate Mode in the HUD image. That means you may need to press the “Change” button on the lower left side of the steering wheel to “change” from the phone controls to the audio controls. Then highlight Mode and press and HOLD to mute the audio. Then you can use the talk button or wake phrase to use voice commands. When you are ready just press and HOLD Mode again to unmute. I hope this helps! Thanks again for reaching out.

[@re-tiredsteve5195]

Sorry, but your feature of the Proactive Driving Assist hasn't been added to this NX video but can be found on the 23-24 RX deep dive part 2 at 58:39 . Great work on all your Deep Dive's of Lexus products! I use these videos for reference constantly. Much easier to 'see' it rather than read the manuals they produce. Plus as new features come out it's easy to watch and learn what's changed.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much. I'm sorry I haven't been able to update the NX video yet to include the addition of Proactive Driving Assist. Glad you found it on the RX video. Thanks very much for being here.

[@ajblair9114]

Hello and thank you from New Zealand, Melissa! I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my 500h F sport this month and your deep dive videos have been an amazing source of information. I'm curious if it's possible to set the cameras into a recording mode so they could operate on a similar manner to a dash cam. If there's any way of doing this I'd love to know and I'm sure a few other owners of the new platform would love to know it too

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much for tuning in and for your great question. The cameras do have some image capture capabilities, but it not accessible by the customer. When you set up your app and you accept the terms of service for the trials, you will see a consent for images to be used for improving mapping and safety features. I know images and data can also be used in court and there is a legal process for access. Lexus has released an official Lexus Dashcam very recently and you may want to ask your dealership if it will be available for install through your Parts department. That may be more of what you're looking for. I hoe this helps. Thanks again for being here!

[@duncanwatts1911]

Hello Melissa. Just wondering if you have found an altimeter on the nav settings? Great videos.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Duncan, I've check the vehicle settings and the different Owner's Manuals for you and there is not an altimeter on the vehicle. Perhaps there is a compatible app in your phone that would work with your phone's assistant? That's the only other idea I was wondering about. Let me know if you find something. Thanks so much for tuning in with me!

[@honzas4906]

thank you so much :) I've just bought nx recently, these two videos were super helpful :) just a little bit upset since being from europe is not the best thing for lexus owner... we have a completely different app and online services here...no mobile keys, remote. starting enging, lock/unlock... but I guess it still could probably be worse :D so thanks again!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Honza, Thanks so much for tuning in. I'm sorry to hear not all of the features and services are available in Europe. Hopefully you will still really enjoy your NX. It is such an amazing vehicle!

[@stephenengland292]

You rock!!!!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@NorthsideLexus]

Aww! Thanks so much! So glad you're here!

[@ininjarapid]

Hey, I figured out how to get the hidden tachometer feature where it shows RPM, ECO mode, etc. First step is you have to set your HUD to the "full mode". Second step is you have to turn off your lane departure alert. Third step is you have to change the driving assist mode from Adaptive Cruise Mode to Cruise Control Mode. Fourth step is to turn off the Lane Tracing Assist. If you follow these steps correctly (no specific order) the hidden feature's will show on the HUD when you swap between driving modes. Eco has the Eco Meter. Normal, Sport, Sport+ have the RPM gauges.

[@NorthsideLexus]

WOW! This is amazing! How in the heck did you find that! You are a Ninja for sure! So selecting to have it Auto Change in the settings for the Tach isn't enough to get it to change for each mode? I can see having Full turned on for HUD to permit more info on screen, but to turn off LDA and DRCC seems strange. I will definitely experiment with one when I can. Thanks so much for exploring!

[@ACVigor92]

Hi Melissa, great and informative video! I've just bought a new Lexus and I was wondering if there's a setting to turn off the feature where you simply place your hand near the door handle to lock/unlock the car. These cars are in high demand for being stolen, and if possible disabling this feature could help protect my Lexus from theft. I'd rather lock/unlock the car with just my key fob.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi. Thanks for checking in. If you have the smart key with you and you touch the indentation on the door handle it will lock. Placing your hand in the door handle it will unlock right before you open the door. You can disable the smart key system, but then you will need to use the mechanical key to open, lock and unlock the vehicle. Most people feel that it is safer to keep the key in your pocket or your bag so you don't have to take the time to handle the key in the door. I hope this helps.

[@mariebarnes9822]

I would have liked to see a demonstration of the parallel park assist feature. But great video. It was very helpful and informative

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much, Marie. Unfortunately we don't have a good spot to demonstrate parallel parking in our area. I filed an example, but it just didn't look right since we don't have any parallel lines on our lot. It functions the same way as the perpendicular parking feature, but the car's position will show as Parallel on screen and the system will see the spot in the different orientation. Thanks again.

[@Jtopcan]

Thanks for these awesome tutorials. I have a question about Road Sign Assist. I have the non-hud gauge cluster. While I see the speed limit signs, and think I get the audible notifications, I don't see anything change visually. On our test drive, we drove one with the hud and the entire sign turned red, but nothing happens on the non-hud version. Is this normal? We have a 2025 NX 350h.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks for being here! Sounds like only the audible alert is turned on. You should be able to select Visual and Audible for the notification type. Select Settings > Driving Assist > scroll down to the Notification > select Other Caution Options / Other Notifications > chose Visual & Audible. If that doesn't solve it, I would have a Technician drive with you to see if they can troubleshoot it further. Congrats on your new NX350h!

[@baby0821]

Hi...this is very very helpful....I have a question under the DISPLAY section of your video and then under CAMERA...there were color pallette that you didn't explain. What are those for? When you touch them nothing happens. Can you explain?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Kena, Thanks so much for your question. I always think that graphic is confusing. It is just an example of what the screen looks like as you make the adjustments so you can't click on the colors, but as you adjust the brightness and contrast, you should see the changes on the graphic. I hope this makes sense. Thanks again for tuning in with me!

[@shaniecedegazon754]

Great informative video. Thanks ive noticed sometimes the apple car play doesnt connect automatically in my lexus nx 350 f sport luxury vehicle what should i do in that situation. Also with the cruise control after you turn it on it keeps the speed you were last traveling at in the bottom right corner how do i remove that?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Shaniece, Thanks so much for being here! If your Apple CarPlay isn't connecting that usually means the car didn't connect to your profile. We have been waiting for Lexus to release an OTA that will improve the profile connection. Hopefully it will come out in the next month or so. I know they have been working on it for a while. As a best practice: make sure your key is linked to your profile, keep wi-fi and Bluetooth turned on on your phone and remember to always lock your car. When you unlock with your linked key it starts to recognize the profile and loads faster. I haven't seen a customization to hid the set speed information from the screen when cruise control is turned on. I believe it is part of having the system active. I hope this helps. Thanks again for tuning in with me!

[@lailiag5040]

Hi Melissa, I have watch the video twice since we bought our 2022 NX350H luxury, I didn’t find any information that would tell me is there anyway a short cut to turn off the screen display? Thank you very much

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! I'm not aware of anything other than going through Settings > Display > Screen Off, but if you could try a voice command and see if that works. There are so many voice command possibilities still to be discovered. I would try, "Hey Lexus turn off the display." or "Hey Lexus, turn off the screen." You may have to play with the wording a bit. Let me know if that works for you. Thanks for tuning in with me!

[@ramblingsheep8800]

Hi Melissa. Many thanks for your excellent videos. I am in the UK and there is nothing to match them. I have just picked up a new NX 450H+ and love it. I have been happily using the adaptive cruise control but cannot understand how to set the speed limiter. The system just seems to revert to adaptive cruise control! Can you please explain how to set the speed limiter? Perhaps a short Tech Tip would help anyone else struggling with this. Or perhaps I'm just missing something simple. Thanks so much.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! On the new NX, when you turn Cruise on it will automatically set the speed at the same time. So it will be set to what ever speed your vehicle is going. Adaptive Cruise is usually the default, but you can use the Mode feature to change to regular Constant Speed Cruise Control. You have the same controls to "Set" speed or increase, decrease, resume, depending on what mode you have and if you have HUD on your NX or not. I hope this helps. I love the idea of a Tech Tip on this one. Once I can get through the LS. RZ and TX, that is now on my list :)

[@theodorelee8763]

Hey Melissa, do you know of a way when using Android auto to allow the map screen using Waze or Google Maps to fill the entire screen without having a partition on the right hand side for media/music?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Theodore, unfortunately Android Auto seems to only operate with a split screen of the clock or other audio content on the right. They don’t seem to have a setting to allow the map to go to the full 14” screen size. On the 9.8” screen it does use the whole area, but not on the larger screen unfortunately. Hopefully they will change that at some point. Thanks for checking in with me!

[@tonytran8880]

Hello Melissa, I just got] my Lexus 2024 NX350h I spend all my time to watched your tutorial and it really help me to understand most the features on the vehicle, but I still have one problem with the music. I want to play my favorite music from usb thump drive but I don't know how.If you don't mind please let me know how to play my music from usb. I really appreciate your time and all tutorial video post on KZbin. Thank you so so so much

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Technically USB music is still possible, but not many people have success with it. Most flash drives are much larger than they were when that audio feature was introduced and the updates have been for playing music from devices like iPhones or iPads or streaming wirelessly. If you check the audio section of the owners manual or the Multimedia owner's manual, you will find detailed instructions about the file types and formats that are compatible. I'm sorry I don't have a better solution for you. Thanks for checking in!

[@theodorelee8763]

Hi Melissa, another great tutorial. By the way there was nothing mentioned about the Hey Lexus command not muting the radio so it hears an instruction command properly when the radio volume is loud. I did the first update, will the second update to the system address this issue?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Theodore! Thanks so much for watching! I don't have an eta on that yet. I've reached out to my contacts at Lexus and will let you know if I hear something. They aren't always allowed to share everything that will be included until the update goes live, but fingers crossed. I know it has been reported though. As a workaround, for now, maybe press and hold the Mode button to mute the audio. Then say, "Hey Lexus." I know it's an extra step, but at least the system would be able to hear you and that may be less of a pain. -\_/-

[@NorthsideLexus]

Good morning, Theodore :) Great news Lexus is planning to include an increase to the audio ducking and this is planned as part of the 2nd OTA coming this summer. Whoot whoot!

[@ONI1013.]

Thanks so much for this. Was waiting for the Advance Parking feature. Can’t wait to see that and the hopefully the Lexus Teammate Driving Assistance system make it’s way to the ES and RX. One question though: I also thought there was an automatic parking that can be controlled using your phone app?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks so much for tuning in! Unfortunately the Remote Park from the phone has has been delayed and Lexus announced they will not be releasing in for the 2022 NX. They are still planning to release it for future model years, but not this one. We aren't sure if it was a parts availability issue or if the feature was not performing as expected in testing. There have apparently been delays in multiple areas and Lexus doesn't want to release it until it is working as designed. I hope I'm able to film on an LS with Teammate at some point. It really seems amazing! Thanks again for being here!

[@ONI1013.]

@@NorthsideLexus Thanks so much for the update. Hopefully the remote park will be a cool feature that works soon and available in future models. Can’t wait to see the Teammate video tutorial in action.

[@kenchan6093]

Hi Melissa, is there a way you can disconnect the keyless remote entry on a "permanent" basis on a 2022 NX350H model, rather than do it every time on the FOB. The theft rate of car in my area is pretty high and I understand by disconnecting the keyless remote entry will minimize the chance of the car being stolen. Thanks for your help.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Ken. Sorry to hear that. I have not seen all of the customizations that can be made by a Technician through. The TechStream system, but I believe that option has been available on previous models. I would check with your Service Advisor and have them ask a Technician to see what options are available for you. Best of luck with it.

[@lailiag5040]

Hi, thank you for all your explanations. I have question, for some reason the steering wheel icon near the Climate tab, disappeared, how do I see it back?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! For the Heated Steering Wheel? If that is not showing, make sure to see your Lexus dealer for service. They need to check the connection for the wiring harness. It it is not completely connected and snapped into place, the icon will not light up on the dash. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here!

[@trantrinh7761]

Can you make a tutorial for using automatic car wash? Like which setting needs to be turn off so it doesn’t freak out when going through the car wash. Much appreciated.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Tran! That video idea is definitely on the list. Unfortunately with all of the vehicles coming out and my regular day to day responsibilities at the dealership, it may take me a long time to get it made for everyone. In the meantime, I would turn off: Auto wipers, PKSB and PKSA. That should make sure your wiper blades stay in good shape, your parking sensors don't ding like crazy and the car won't keep automatically stopping when it thinks the brushes are too close. I also, like to fold in my side mirrors. I hope this helps! Thanks very much for being here!

[@lailiag5040]

I was wondering after watching the video, I would like to know if you could tell me; could the google map from iPhone, the direction is not shown on HUD. Could that be done?

Hi Maurizio, Thank you so much for your comment and your patience while I researched this for you. I have looked at all view options for Favorites in the app and on the car and have even reached out to my Lexus contacts to make sure I wasn't missing something, and unfortunately, at the moment there is not a way to edit or add names for the Favorites in the Interface system. Needless to say, this has been reported to Lexus and requested for an update to the system. I don't have any information about their response, but I really hope they will get this added for everyone who uses the Drive Connect features. Thank you again for reaching out. If I hear about an update, I will definitely make a video tutorial for everyone!

So So Good! I have a question; If I'm driving, can my wife on her phone, (connected to the Lexus App), choose a map destination/ route and send it to the vehicle?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Yes, she can do that if she will sign in with your Lexus App credentials. Then her phone in the app will look like yours. It will not interfere with her additional driver profile if she has one. So no need to constantly sign out and back in, unless there is an update that might require it :)
