Once again thank you young lady 👏👏👏👏 🌹 I've just received an email my new Lexus NX350h with pro link has just been built it's ready for shipping to the uk 😄😄😄

🥰 Amazing job with your videos Melissa

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thank you so much for all of your support! What store are you with? So glad to have you here!

Hello Melissa 👋 😉 could you tell if there's any possibility to buy additional device for old NX and make Android auto to work wireless ⁉️☝️😏

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! I haven't seen anything for wireless Android Auto, just Apple CarPlay seems to have some after market options. I would check with a car audio installer and see what your options might be. Unfortunately, Lexus doesn't have anything for either system to update to wireless. 🙁

It seems that the instrument cluster cannot display Unicode characters. Any Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters become square. This is annoying when display the playing music.

[@NorthsideLexus]

That would be a great improvement. Thanks for checking in!

Hi Melissa, thank you for these videos. I am following you from Ireland. Can you advise is there an option to have the day and date on permanent display either in the dash or in the display screen on the NX450h+ thank you, Peter.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Peter! Thanks so much for tuning in with me! I haven't seen a Lexus Interface setting that allows the day and date to show on screen. It seems to apply to notifications and update information on the back end rather than a calendar function. The calendar apps in Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, however can show on the split screen command center layouts for those connected phone systems. I hope this helps. Thanks again!

On the "old infotainment" (2021+ IS) is it possible to change the language of the Navigation voice ONLY to Japanese? I find the female's Japanese voice on the navigation very soothing, which I've heard in Lexus video reviews from Japan. I don't want to change the language for the entire infotainment anything or even the text of the navigation. Literally just the part where the woman speaks the directions.

When the language is customized it applies to all areas that are compatible for the language change, not just one feature. Thanks so much for checking in.

[@josueprevilus2652]

I was hoping you would do it from japanese to english, thats my struggles now

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Josue, In the US we only have the three language options of: English, Spanish & French. What ever languages are available on your vehicle are what you will have to chose from. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.

I have lexus es350 2011 how I can change the language from Korean to English

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks for tuning in. The languages that are available will show in the settings menu. They are preset form the factory for the area the car was built to be sold in and additional languages can note be added. To see what you have in your settings try this: Menu > Setup > General > Language > then make your selection. Best of luck with it. Thanks for tuning in !

[@lesterGTR34]

But.. What to do if I want to change it to Russian?

[@NorthsideLexus]

What are the languages available on your vehicle? They are different in different parts of the world.

[@lesterGTR34]

@@NorthsideLexus I bought my lexus from UAE. It only has available English and Arabic. But I want to change it to Russian.

[@NorthsideLexus]

@@lesterGTR34 Ah got ya. We aren’t able to add additional languages because everything is programmed to the system already. We can just chose from what is available. Hope this helps.

[@masonomar]

How to add Arabic language ?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks for tuning in. It isn't possible to add languages to the system. The languages shown on the screen are the ones programmed for the region the car was built to be sold in. Depending on the phone you are using, you can customize your phone language and that may help. You would be able to use your phone's assistant to make calls, text, play music and use navigation from your phone apps. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
