I picked up my NX yesterday. The salesperson spent 15 minutes explaining all the important features. But this video will help a lot. Thank you very very much.
I just bought my 2021 NX 300h 8/15/2022 and the tutorials have been amazingly helpful. These stand the test of time!! I refer people in the NX groups on Facebook to these videos often. When I visited the tech specialist at my local dealership he was very impressed with the depth of my knowledge, and this is 100% because of the thorough explanation and demonstrations. I refer back to this video frequently. So well done. Thanks a hundred times over! Tech Tip Tuesdays are also fun to watch as well☀️
Thank you so much for your sweet note and support, Cat! I'm so glad the videos are helpful for you! Thank you so so much! Congratulations on your NX! I drive a 2020 NX and love it so much! I hope you will love your as well and I'm very happy to get to help you learn all about it! Thank you again for all of your support!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a senior who leased a 2019 NXh in Naples, FL. Nobody at the dealer bothered to explain how everything worked at the time of delivery. With only seven more months to go on my lease your video finally showed me how to operate all the bells and whistles. Wish I lived closer to Spring, TX. Would definitely lease my next Lexus from you.
Thank you‼️ This is the MOST robust video I’ve found. Although I have a 2018, 90% of the video STILL applies. Lexus should require people to watch this video AFTER they take it from the lot. I still learned so many things today about my car! ☺️
Thanks so much! I'm so glad the video was helpful for you. Hopefully some of my other videos will help as well. Check out the Tech Tip Tuesday playlist. I started making Tech Tips a few years ago and a lot of that content will work for your year Lexus. Hope you like it.
My sales person was showing me how to use the settings and I asked her if I could do it myself because you can't learn that fast watching someone. Great video.
I will be buying my first Lexus this weekend. 2021 NX300 F-Sport. I’m flying from Memphis to Dallas on Saturday to pick it up. Flight is roughly two hours and it will be great to go through this whole video to learn all the features this vehicle has.
Thanks so much! I'm editing away and filming new footage each time I can get my hands on a vehicle. I hope to be done in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for staying tuned!
I'm in the UK and just got my NX 2017 model, purchased from a main dealer. I wasn't taken through the controls, literally just shown the basics, maybe because of Covid-19 rules etc. This video is top notch! Please please post more, like how to dismantle the Hybrid batteries and DIY reinstall - saving any high garage fees! I know you can do it! 😁...👌
;-P LOL!!! Victor, you are amazing! I sure wish I could do all of the maintenance myself. I would definitely film it! Thanks for always being here with us! You rock!
Thanks so much! I have filmed a lot of content for the LX and am attending some additional trainings before I edit the video. I am also working on Part 2 of the 2022 NX Deep Dive tutorial and will release that in the coming weeks. Thanks so much for your support.
I listened to your tutorial in October for my 2020 NX and scrolling through the 2021 , I learned things I missed or needed the reminder for! Thanks again for a thorough and well done video.
Also, I lied~~ I HAVE a 2021 NX and listened previously to the 2020 tutorial. Apoligies to my 2021 for making it older than it is and yes, we have a good name ;-)
Thank You for your full tutorial with step by step feature controls and settings for my 2021 NX 300… I’m still trying to find the fog light switch. Lol…
Hi Staci! Jump to this section on the headlamps. The Fog Light is controlled on the dial that is located on the headlamp stalk. It will just be off or on and will sync with the low beam headlights when they are in auto and the fog light is turned to on : 27:58 Head Light Controls Hope this helps :)
So sorry for the delay. I'm in Texas in an area hit hard by a major winter storm and we had to close the dealership for a few days. Just getting back and catching up. Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Francis!
Great job, I love the LEXUS cars. Toyotas are most reliable. This LEXUS reminds me of KITT. with all these assistive functions. I wonder, if it can drive itself like AUTO CRUISE.
LOL, Michael! KITT ;-P I love it! We don't have Auto Cruise on any Lexus vehicles yet, but that will be so cool when all cars have that kind of technology! Thanks so much for tuning in!
@@NorthsideLexus , too bad, we can't set KITTs voice for navigation an voice command, RIP William Daniels, or Gottfried Kramer, he played the german voice of KITT.
@@stolmich That is too cool! Bruce Willis...All I can think of it "Yippee-ki-yay..." You know the rest ROFLOL! To your question: The 2021 and all previous year NXs all have a single disk CD player in the dash. NXs with the 10.3-inch display have a single disk DVD player. It can play DVD audio and if you are stopped, with the emergency brake on, you can see the video on the screen. It looks like they may not have it on the 2022, based on the prototype pictures I've seen. Have an awesome day!
Nice to catch up on the new tutorial my only issue is we get some differences and I do like them. Question on Freeways do you get a pop up of up coming exists and other details, as I really want to turn mine of Thanks.
Hi Steven, Thanks so much for watching! Yes, there is a Freeway Exit or Freeway Information list that can be turned on or off in settings. What year is your NX? There were a couple of years where it was not customizable, but if you have a software update available (including the retrofit for Apple carPlay that was released in the US for certain cars) it is usually part of that update. If it is on your vehicle here's how to customize it: Go to Menu > Setup > Navigation > Detailed Navi Settings and look for anything about Freeway Exit or Popup Information and turn those items off. Hope this helps.
@@NorthsideLexus Thank you I have a 20/21. I have made the change you suggested and will see later today when I get out if I have succeeded in getting it right. Love my new NX all of 200km on it since Friday. Yes that new.
Hi Mena, Thanks so much for tuning in to learn with me! The button below the touch pad is an additional settings menu. When you see the symbol on the main screen, press that button to open additional settings. It is usually visible on the Climate screen. I hope this helps. Thanks again!
Hello! I LOVED the tutorial! It helped so much in learning all the new features of the NX 300! I have a question, my NX came with cross bars on the top of the roof of the car and there seems to be slots in the rails for a key. Are they removable? And what key do I use? Thank you so much!
Hi @okaythen: The roof rails on the NX are adjustable and they can be removed. They do require a key and the key would have come with the set or rails. It should have been given to you or placed in the glove box or the owner's manual packet when you picked up your vehicle. I would recommend reaching out to your sales person for more information. Hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction. Thanks so much for tuning in to our channel.
I am so thrilled to find this video. We are seniors who just bought a 2021 NX 300 Sport. Our dealer has been wonderful, but I think we non-geeks have tried the patience of their tech personnel! We are having a terrible problem with the door locking. We want the back doors to be unlocked, and the windows operable, at all times (w/o the driver having to manually unlock them each time we get in.) We did the key thing--pressing open and close simultaneously. We got the beep, then no change. The dealer said they made the change for us, but I'm still locked into the car most times. Opening via the rear door handle does open all the doors. But, once the car starts, they lock again. I feel claustrophobic "trapped" the back seat. Any suggestions? Thank you for the video, too. We are amazed at all the features and customization available!! (I am not concerned that someone will jump into the car in a dark parking lot, but I understand the safety feature aspect of door locking.)
Hi Elieen, Thanks so much for your kind comments about the video. If I'm understanding you correctly you would like the car to not lock any doors after the car has bee started, put into gear and is on the road? All doors, including the back doors. I haven't had anyone request tis before so I haven't tested it out, but here's what I would say to try: Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customization > Door Lock Settings > Automatic Door Lock > Off The resource I'm using is the list of Lexus Personalized Settings available online: drivers.lexus.com/content/dam/lexusdrivers/media/lps/2021/2021%20NX%20300%20Customer%20LPS%20Form.pdf Item #1 under Door Lock Settings. For the windows just make sure that they are not locked from the Window Lock button in the driver's door. Then the windows can be operated from any seat. Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the channel!
WOW!! This video is so helpful. I just bought a used 2021 NX300. Everything said luxury but I’m super disappointed that I do not have memory seating? This isn’t standard? Is there another setting hiding somewhere? Or a hack? I’m in shock this simple but useful feature isn’t standard (?). Any tips appreciated!
I'm so glad it was helpful for you! I'm sorry it sounds like the NX you have is like my previous NX, with no seat position memory. I wish it was standard equipment on all Lexus models, but unfortunately they don't build them all with it. Hopefully you will find a comfortable position that works well for you for driving and for you to easily enter and exit the vehicle. Thanks for checking in.
Hello I find your video amazing. I will get in 2 weeks a 2016 Lexus NX300h 4WD. It doesn't have the 5th wheel. I don't like much the kit and I prefer to have a spare tire/wheel. Not sure If I can do something about it. Hi from France and thank you for your video.
Hi @Levitch07 ! Congrats on your 2016 NX300h! If your NX has run flat tires and didn't come with a spare, you can check with your Lexus dealership to see if they have a compatible tire that is a traditional tire. And the next time you need tires you can consider changing. The technology for runflat tires has really come a long way, but it does take some getting used to to drive around without a spare. All the best!
Are you able to program in the MID for the digital speedometer and mile to empty or current MPG in the same screen or do I have to toggle between screens to see the preferred info I want?
Hi Bob! The Digital Speedometer is on it's own page and can't be added to the customizable Drive Info screens. You can have current MPG and Range together or a variety of other metered settings. On the MID: Settings - Metered Settings - Drive Info - Choose the item you want to change (highlight and click) - scroll through the options for available items to display. Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in!
Hi, would these additional features button on lower left to steering wheel can be added to existing nx? aftermarket sales available for these? like 360 camera / Heads up display / power liftgate with kick sensor and stuff...Thanks.
Hi @Nay_Win, unfortunately those are all factory installed items and they are not able to be added as a retrofit from a Lexus dealer. You would need to explore a reputable aftermarket company to see what they can offer. We aren't allowed to recommend anything that is a non-Lexus part, because with aftermarket installs, there is always a risk of voiding your warranty. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Thanks so much for tuning in!
Hi Noah! Thanks so much for watching! The Sound settings will save automatically after you select them by clicking on the + or - for the Audio Source that is actively playing. Keep in mind that different sources can have their own Sound Settings. Change the source, then customize the settings for that source (AM, FM, SAT, etc.). When you see your selections on the screen they should save automatically. Unless you are clicking on a slide bar to increase or decrease the amount, then you need to click down again to make your selection and move off of the slide bar. That should show you your selection and it should be saved. I hope this helps.
Thank you! I learned a lot and set-up most things. I am stuck on the Go Home, entering an address. I went to Set-up, Navigation, scrolled to Home and tried both options. Neither worked. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Hi Victoria, I'm glad most things are setup! That's great! I'm sorry the NAV is being troublesome for you. Are you trying to save your Home shortcut? If so, the easiest way is to be at the location you want to save then do this: Menu > Setup > NAV > Home > Current Location and follow the steps to save it. Then it will save based on the location of your vehicle. To use the Go Home shortcut, just voice command : "Go home." Check starting on page 97 of the online NAV Owner's Manual for more info: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/omnav-s/OM78607U/pdf/OM78607U.pdf Let me know if this works for you :)
Thanks so much! I did not have access to an NX with the optional HUD so I was not able to feature it. If you have an NX with a Heads Up Display check the online Owner's Manual starting on page 86 for more information. drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf Hope this will help you out.

Hi Emilio, the "button" color can be changed and the Map theme color can be changed, but those are the only customizations that the screen offers for theme colors. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for tuning in to our channel!
The shifting hand gear is really really hard to use it ? It looks different than the usual hand gear !! Can you please advise how to easily use it ? How to shit from P to D easily ? Because each time I shift it shows a notification to press the brake ,, but I already pressed the brake and shift the hand gear and still not working properly.. please advise any easy way to shift the hand gear in nx2022 since its totally different
Hi Lulwa, I'm sorry you're having trouble with the gear shift. Make sure you press on the brake, then follow the pattern on the gear shift housing. From Park, shift over to the right and then come down. There are small adjustments back to the left as you bring the gear shift down to Drive, that follow the pattern shown. I hope this helps.
Hi. Driver Position Memory is not a standard feature. If the package on your NX includes Driver Position Memory the buttons will be located on the driver's door. Thanks for checking in.
Hi Johnny! You'll want to use the mechanical key for that. I made a video about what to do when the key fob battery dies. Not that that is your issue, but it will show you how to access the metal key and how to lock the car from the key cylinder. ruclips.net/video/ALL6ha6dAxI/видео.html Some other tips: - When you lock with the metal key, you will have to unlock with the metal key. The buttons on the key fob and on the door handles will not operate. - Make sure to take the key fob with you. The car will beep, but you will not be leaving your key in a running vehicle. - Cars now have an auto shut-off safety feature. The car will turn off after idling for about an hour. Or after about 40 minutes if in Accessory Mode (without the engine running). - You can also lock the car and start the engine with the Remote feature in the Lexus app. It will run for 10 minutes and then you can do a second 10 minute run remotely. After two remote cycles, you have to start the car with the push button. Hope this helps!
I'm a little confused with my nx300h, in some videos I watch and also when I'm going to the Lexus concesionary for maintenance i asked what kind of gas should i refull with and they said unlead. But in the Car manual and other vídeos it shows to refull with lead gas. Can i have a true answer for that. Is it regular or premium gas for the nx300h 2021. Thanks
Hi! I think the Owner's Manual is the best resource. Here's what the manual for the 2021 NX300h says: www.lexus.com/My-Lexus/resources#manuals_and_guides_promo (page 432) "You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle. Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage." This means the vehicle was tested w/ 91 octane, but you can safely use 87 or higher. For best performance and fuel economy use the research octane. In this case 91. I hope this helps.
I have a 2020 NX300 without the navigation package. I just realized my enform menu does not have the chime/sound like this one does. Is it an option that can be enabled/disabled on the NX?
Hi! There are a variety of sounds settings in the main Setup menu and if you are plugging in your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, make sure to check the sound and notifications on your phone and in the apps you are using. 👍
How do you customize lane change indicator? If it only flashes three times, will the lane change lights flash only three times on the exterior as well?
Hi Kevin, that customization can be made with a Technician at your Lexus dealership. They just need to plug in their computer and make your selection. The options are: 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 blinks or Off to disable the feature. You can see more info on page 431 of the online Owner's Manual: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
Hi Jill, If your NX has NAV: the compass will be on the top left corner of the NAV screen and in the MID. Without NAV: it is usually in the MID. If you don't see it in the MID, then it is not on your package. I hope this helps to answer your question. Thanks so much for watching.
On our 2021NX Premium I don't see the Turbo monitor or G Force monitor after the Eco monitor screen. It goes straight to MPH after the ECO screen. Am i doing something wrong? Thanks for your video! Due to COVID, we learned everything about operating the car from watching your video instead of having our sales rep do so.
Hi OneoF137. Is your NX a hybrid? The engine on the hybrid does not have a turbo. It could be that your NX does not have a turbo engine or the package on your NX is different in your area and does not include all of the screens that were on the F-Sport model I had access to. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching.
@@NorthsideLexus No, ours is not a Hybrid. It has the 4-cylinder Turbo. On the Lexus NX website it states that ours has the Turbo and G-force monitor. It's under "Features", "Technology".
Hi @@oneof1374 Looking in the Owner's Manual the Boost Meter (Turbo Monitor) and the G Force Monitor are showing as optional equipment. They both say "If Equipped). They must be on a different package from what you have. Hope this helps: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf
@@NorthsideLexus Here is the Lexus NX website model comparison info where it states the NX 300 has Boost/Gforce monitors (under "Technology"): www.lexus.com/models/NX?link[InfoLayer][SHOW_PAGE]=true&link[InfoLayerInner][setActiveTab]=0 I agree with you that it's optional (p81-82 owners manual) even though the website states it's standard. Makes since that it would only be on the F Sport!. Thanks so much for your help and keep up the great videos!
Hi! If you key fob doesn't have the button to power open the back door, that means your vehicle has a manually operated back door. You will still need to have your key with you if the door is locked, but you will just press the large rubber touch pad under the bar doo handle to unlock the door and then lift the door open. Thanks for checking in.
Hi. The USB ports are under the arm rest, toward the front of that storage section. Check this section of the video about how to plug in for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for reference to the location: ruclips.net/video/GBQvHzMxH_4/видео.html Thanks for checking in.
At 48:55, under the clock there’s a small LED light which has a car and a lock. In my car, that light glows red even when the car is locked. Is that normal? It seems to flash/blink red for some reason.
Hi @Saeed_Rind Thanks for tuning in. Great question! That is the indicator for the alarm system that comes with you Lexus. When you lock the car it is armed and the light will flash. When the alarm is not set the light will be solid. There is a good explanation on page 69 of the digital Owner's Manual: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf if you want to read more about it. The main thing to know is that the alarm does not include glass breakage detection. It is an entry deterrent. So if someone pulls hard on the door handle it will go off. But if they break a window it doesn't usually sound the alarm until they open the door. Lexus does have a glass breakage package available, but I don't think it is on all models. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
Hi! The Brake HOLD feature holds your foot brake while the vehicle is still in Drive. If you have the feature turned on, come to a complete stop, you will see the word HOLD light up on the instrument panel in gold, then you can remove your foot form the brake.

i had recently purchased a certified lexus nx f sport but unfortunately there is no power tail gate or parking sensors and sunroof , but can the parking sensors be installed at a lexus dealership. ?
Hi, reg! Thanks for tuning in. Unfortunately, all of the features you listed here have to be installed at the factory at the time the vehicle is begin assembled. The Parking Sensors have hardware, wiring and software components and the bumpers and grille are different for cars with that feature. Thanks very much for tuning in with us though. I hope you enjoy your NX F-Sport!
Hi Kerstin, The tire pressure in a 2021 NX will show up in the MID on the car. Here's a shortcut to that part of the video for you: Tire Pressure Monitor: 33:48, but this is linked for you at the beginning of the MID section of the tutorial: 32:34 Multi-Information Display Buttons on Right Side of Steering Wheel Hope this helps :)
Hi Virginia, Sorry fort he delay. That's correct. The Home button is for vehicles that do not have the Navigation package. Do you have a 21 NX? If so you have other options for navigation though. You can use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto nav apps. Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
Question - I turned off the auto brake so I could back up with my bike rack and it still auto braked. And when I turn the car off and turn it back on it automatically resets. What can I do?
Hi Sue, Thanks for tuning in. This is a great question. Here are the things we suggest for the auto braking features when using a bike rack, etc. - Turn off the following: PKSB (Parking Support Brake) the auto braking feature, Parking Sensors in PKSA the beeping when you get to close to an object. Both of these features should not turn back on when you turn the car off and back on. Check in the online Owner's Manual for step by step instructions drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf PKSB: Page 242 PKSA: Page 236 I hope this helps! Thanks again!
The NX has an electronic parking brake and the heel can shift when you shift from Park and the brake disengages if you don't have your foot firmly applied on the foot brake. Just make sure you are not moving off the foot brake until you are completely in gear and that should do it. Hope this helps.
I just purchased a 2018 Lexus NX300 and I cannot get my map or my apps to display they are all grayed out even when I connect to the Lexus app how can I fix this?
Hi A.T, sorry for the delay. If you have a 2018 NX300 with the NAV package, make sure the Micros SD card is in the port. Open the small door below the CD player. You can pop the card out and back in. If it is missing you will need to purchase a NAV SD card from your Lexus dealer. They are VIN specific and I do not recommend buying them online, because you can't guarantee they will be compatible. If you don't have a NAV package, the 2018 NX is compatible for the Apple CarPlay retrofit in the US. Check with your dealership to find out about cost and availability to book an appointment. There is not a compatible retrofit for Android Auto. There was also a Scout GPS Link app compatible with the non-NAV vehicles in some areas. You could look into that as well. None of the map apps will go through the Lexus app though. That will be to manage Service Connect health reports and other subscription connected services like Remote and Safety Connect for the SOS button. I hope this helps explain it for you. Thanks for tuning in.
Hi Muttiah, I'm not sure. I haven't seen any other channels that do in-depth tutorials. I would check with your local Lexus dealership and see if they can recommend someone. All the best :)
Hi there. I have the same lexus nx300 ex. The reverse camera usually shows full screen mode. This mornin it only showed 2/3 centered, withe huge basil's on the sides. Help

Also if you have the 360 camera system, it is possible that button was pressed and you could be in the parallel view mode. Just press the button again to toggle through the options. I hope this helps.
@@NorthsideLexus hi there. I tried the thumbnails. Its either smaller or the 2/3 version. I am not sure what happened. I dont have a 360 view. I am certain before the reverse cam would fill up the whole monitor. Thats what made me buy it. What changed? Software issue?
@@asignul2009 I would send a picture of it to your Service Advisor at your Lexus dealership and ask them if it looks like it is correctly displaying from the backup camera. It can't hurt to ask.
Hi! Thanks for tuning in. If all of your PKSA, PKSB, etc. features are turned on in the MID, then that message may indicate that the Parking Sensors are not functioning correctly. I would recommend taking it to your Lexus dealer to see if they need to recalibrate something for you. Hope this helps :)
Hi Denese, For Non-NAV NX Home Screen customizations please do the following: Menu > Setup > Customize Home Screen Then you can select the 3 tile layout and customize what items go in each tile. Hope this helps.
@@artsyFSH Sure thing. The default settings include the Navi app link that does not work with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so you may want to consider that as well when you're choosing your content.

Radio presets, Home Screen customizations, phone pairing, etc. Menu > Setup > Delete Personal Data.
@@NorthsideLexus OK, do you have any link on how to do it ⁉️ in my manual book there's no info, I need to put covers to the back seats 🤷♂️ tx in advance...
@@bsatylganov Sorry to hear that, but the seats are not designed to be removed. You may need to talk to a Technician who is trained on structural details for the vehicle. I specialize in Lexus Technology and training and would not be able to advise you on dismantling seats. Also make sure you aren't at risk of voiding your warranty if you remove the seats. That is always a risk when working with after market accessories. Best of luck with your project. Sorry I'm not able to help.

Hi Robert, Do you have a power or manual steering wheel? Also, are you asking about the tilt position for driving or for exiting the vehicle? Happy to help.
@@21cadefoster Thanks for the reply. Locate the joy stick type toggle on the left side of the steering column. It can be moved up and down to tilt the entire column or forward and back to bring the wheel closer or farther away. The wheel moves with the column and not independently.

Hi. I just purchased a 2021 Lexus 300 NX and I connected my iPhone to the car. I can hardly hear the caller. I have tried everything to increase the volume. The caller can hear me, but I cannot really hear them clearly at all. I have turned up the car volume as well as the volume on my phone. The problem persists. Can you offer any guidance? It's the only thing that has disappointed me about the vehicle. Thank you. I also looked at your tutorial for the 2020 model, but they are a little different.
Hi Mario! Congratulations on your new NX! Not to worry, volume issues are all about phone settings so your beautiful new vehicle is not the culprit. Try these trouble shooting tips: (every volume setting on smart phone is now independent of the call volume when you are not connected to another device, like the car.) 1. Power off you phone and turn it back on to do a soft reset of phone. 2. Once the phone is back on, let it connect to the Bluetooth system in the car. 3. Start with the Bluetooth volume for phone calls. Place a call to someone willing to help troubleshoot. Once the call is active, turn the volume all the way up on the side of your iPhone. Then start adjusting it on the car. (even if your normal call volume is all the way up, this will be a separate call volume setting and can only be done while on a BT connected call.) 4. If that is successful move on to Bluetooth Audio. Get something playing on your phone, select Bluetooth Audio from your Audio Source, turn the volume all the way up on the side of the iPhone, then adjust further on the car. 5. Siri through Bluetooth is next. Press and hold the Talk button on the steering wheel, wait for the tones, say "How's the weather." When Siri starts talking, adjust the volume on the side of the iPhone all the way up and then adjust further on the car. 6. Then check your Apple CarPlay settings for volume, by plugging in the phone for Apple CarPlay and make a call or send a text and start adjusting the volume on the side of the iPhone first than on the car. I'm not sure why the smartphone software engineers though separating all of the volume controls was a great idea, but they did. I hope this helps. All the best.
Thank you for the very useful video ! I have just bought the 2021 NX 300 with almost all options and everything run well. I love the car ! I have one minor question: every time driving home the car makes one bleeping sound when I get within under 1/4 of a mile to my house.
Hi! Congrats on your new NX300! It sounds like there is a notification set near your home, possibly for the "Home" shortcut on the vehicle or in a navigation app on your home. First check the following on the car: Menu - Setup - Navigation - Home - Edit - look at the Icon edit line, there are some options that play sounds. You can change this and choose a different icon that does not include an audible notification. If it is a navigation app on your phone, you'll need to check the settings in each of those apps. I'm guessing it is the setting in the car though, so I would start there to hopefully save you some time :) Let me know how it goes. Thanks so much for tuning in!
@@NorthsideLexus Hi I just purchased this NX sport 2021 and it doesn’t have a button to release the trunk from inside is that normal I thought I was getting a premium package but obviously not can you help me with that.
Hi@@jankeely, My first NX also did not include the Power Back Door. When you look at the key fob, is there a button for the Power Back Door? If not, and there are only the door lock, unlock and alarm buttons, then the car did not come with the PBD feature. The only option would be to talk to your sales person. It is not something that can be added after the fact. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
Hi Zahra, Yes, if you have an active Enform Remote account setup through the Lexus app you can remotely start the car through your phone app. The key fob can also be used to remotely start the car, but it has much more strict parameters and you need to be about 30 feet from the vehicle. The app requires a cell signal to the car and to the phone and can operate at any distance. Hope this helps.
Pity you didn't show the exterior of the car, even if in other videos, it is still good practice to show even a quick exterior view. I had to click off to another video to see what car you were talking about and that could lead me or a potential customer away from your channel. Just my few thoughts on the production side of things.
Thanks for the feedback, microBROADCAST. These videos were originally intended to support our customers who had already bought the car, so showing the exterior was not part of the plan. Now, the channel has grown so much and many people seem to be using the videos during their shopping process, so this might be a great addition. I know they are already really long and that be be off-putting for some. Do you think adding a little bit of exterior and interior footage as an intro would be good? Thanks again.
@@NorthsideLexus Hi, yes, I think you are right. It's a good sign really that your videos have grown beyond what you initially thought they would be and are now getting a 'new' and wider audience. I also agree that a few short clips interspersed of the exterior now and then would be helpful as online visitors may not have seen any other videos, so an interior only shot won't convey what it looks like from the exterior. Maybe consider a graphics and music intro and outro e.g. just 30 seconds at the start and end, would also help. It would look more professional. Judging by your graphics you seem to have good software, so maybe it is just a matter of getting some motion graphic plug-ins and choosing some music. Best wishes with the videos.
@@microbroadcast thanks so much! Great suggestions. I'm learning and trying to improve all the time. Who knew these video would be come so popular. I really appreciate your input. I'll keep working on it. Kizen, as we say in the Lexus world ;)
@@microbroadcast Very cool. I know Kintsugi as a concept in pottery. Making something even more beautiful out of something that was damaged. Giving new life to a piece. I love that!
Hi Steven, When you get a new Lexus you have a long free trial period for all of the Enform services. The 2021 NX trial period is for 3-years for: Safety Connect, Remote, Dynamic NAV & Destination Assist on NAV vehicles and 10-years free for Service Connect. Paid services would being after the trial. Hope this helps to clarify things for you. Thanks for tuning in.
@@NorthsideLexus No I understand that! I am more annoyed that it’s not a free app for however long one might be using their Lexus and not just as a 3 year trial period. Great video though!
@@NorthsideLexus Regarding the engine flushing that has to occur every 12,000 miles how much does such a maintenance procedure cost? It seems to be a unique cost associated with owning a Lexus
@@stevengershik3067 ahh I got ya. That would be awesome. They may be anticipating the expenses of app updates, app maintenance, etc. Fortunately the cost has come way down and you don't have to bundle features to get the Remote like you used to. It seems like they have structured it to match the popular lease term. That could be part of it also. Sorry it was frustrating for you. I sure hope you like your NX though. Thanks again for tuning in to learn with us.
@@stevengershik3067 that is a great question for Service. I can reach out to my team, but you will get a more accurate answer with the dealership you are going to go to. They may have different labor costs or might offer a special. For example, at our stores we pay for the 15, 20 and 25K maintenance visits when you purchase or lease your car with us and service with us.
I picked up my NX yesterday. The salesperson spent 15 minutes explaining all the important features. But this video will help a lot. Thank you very very much.
Congratulations on your new NX! . It can be tough to get all of the information on the first go round, I'm so glad to help. Thanks for tuning in!
I just bought my 2021 NX 300h 8/15/2022 and the tutorials have been amazingly helpful. These stand the test of time!! I refer people in the NX groups on Facebook to these videos often. When I visited the tech specialist at my local dealership he was very impressed with the depth of my knowledge, and this is 100% because of the thorough explanation and demonstrations. I refer back to this video frequently. So well done. Thanks a hundred times over! Tech Tip Tuesdays are also fun to watch as well☀️
Thank you so much for your sweet note and support, Cat! I'm so glad the videos are helpful for you! Thank you so so much! Congratulations on your NX! I drive a 2020 NX and love it so much! I hope you will love your as well and I'm very happy to get to help you learn all about it! Thank you again for all of your support!
No more rooting through instruction books or trolling chat groups. Everything I ever need is here. THANK YOU,,,
Awww! You just made my day! Thanks so much for tuning in!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a senior who leased a 2019 NXh in Naples, FL. Nobody at the dealer bothered to explain how everything worked at the time of delivery. With only seven more months to go on my lease your video finally showed me how to operate all the bells and whistles. Wish I lived closer to Spring, TX. Would definitely lease my next Lexus from you.
I have had my 2019 NF F sport for over 2 years and I have learned so much just watching this. Thank you so much. Amazing job with this tutorial.
Thank you‼️ This is the MOST robust video I’ve found. Although I have a 2018, 90% of the video STILL applies. Lexus should require people to watch this video AFTER they take it from the lot. I still learned so many things today about my car! ☺️
Thanks so much! I'm so glad the video was helpful for you. Hopefully some of my other videos will help as well. Check out the Tech Tip Tuesday playlist. I started making Tech Tips a few years ago and a lot of that content will work for your year Lexus. Hope you like it.
Great job and thank you for your in-depth review. Blown away by your knowledge! Thank you!!
Thanks so much! I'm so glad to help and really appreciate your kind words! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for the great "Tutorial Deep Dive" video. I really impressed with your knowledge.
Thanks so much, @Mina! So glad to help!
Was the best and most complete video for this car. Menu and the video timing is awesome. Great job!
Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate your feedback. So glad you're here.
My sales person was showing me how to use the settings and I asked her if I could do it myself because you can't learn that fast watching someone. Great video.
Thanks so much, Yolanda! Happy to help you master all the features on your new Lexus!
Am picking up the vehicle tomorrow. You have done a great job. thank you
Congratulations! Happy to help!
Awesome video. Very comprehensive. I now know more about my new 2021 NX. Thank you for taking the time.
So glad you liked the video! Thanks very much for watching! Congratulations on your new NX!
Thank you for taking the time to create such a complete video. 👍👍
My pleasure! I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in!
This was extremely helpful with learning about all the features for the NX.
Thanks so much, Jim! I'm so glad you liked the video!
I will be buying my first Lexus this weekend. 2021 NX300 F-Sport. I’m flying from Memphis to Dallas on Saturday to pick it up. Flight is roughly two hours and it will be great to go through this whole video to learn all the features this vehicle has.
Have fun picking up your new NX300 F-Sport! Sounds like a fun holiday excursion! Thanks for tuning in with us to learn all about it!
This was really well done and useful. Waiting for the 2022 version with the new Media system.
Thanks so much! I'm editing away and filming new footage each time I can get my hands on a vehicle. I hope to be done in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for staying tuned!
I'm in the UK and just got my NX 2017 model, purchased from a main dealer. I wasn't taken through the controls, literally just shown the basics, maybe because of Covid-19 rules etc. This video is top notch! Please please post more, like how to dismantle the Hybrid batteries and DIY reinstall - saving any high garage fees! I know you can do it! 😁...👌
;-P LOL!!! Victor, you are amazing! I sure wish I could do all of the maintenance myself. I would definitely film it! Thanks for always being here with us! You rock!
Thank you very much for this lecture. It’s such a useful and essential lesson for NX owners. Anyway I’m waiting for the 2022 LX 2022 tutorial soon ..
Thanks so much! I have filmed a lot of content for the LX and am attending some additional trainings before I edit the video. I am also working on Part 2 of the 2022 NX Deep Dive tutorial and will release that in the coming weeks. Thanks so much for your support.
Best video I’ve seen!!
Thanks so much, @Trinh! So glad you liked it!
Thanks just bought mine, very helpful so far.
Congrats on your new NX! I'm so glad the tutorial is helpful for you!
Very good information, your marketing of Lexus is impressive! I had to discover many of these features myself.
Thanks so much for watching @S Baber! Hopefully this will be a good supplement for the learning you've already done on your own. Happy to help :)
Enjoyed the video, awesome job!!
thanks a bunch for this amazing video! super informative
Thanks so much, @Tish! I'm so glad you liked the video!
Absolutely the best tutorial ever. Thank you so much
Thanks so much for your support! So glad to have you here!
I listened to your tutorial in October for my 2020 NX and scrolling through the 2021 , I learned things I missed or needed the reminder for! Thanks again for a thorough and well done video.
Oh wow! That's so awesome to hear! Thanks so much, @Melissa! Glad I could help. Awesome name btw ;-P
@@NorthsideLexus 😃
Also, I lied~~ I HAVE a 2021 NX and listened previously to the 2020 tutorial. Apoligies to my 2021 for making it older than it is and yes, we have a good name ;-)
@@Melissaldickson LOL! That's awesome!
Very helpful. Thank you. 🙏
So glad it was helpful! Thanks very much for tuning in!
I just got this car, this video came clutch!!!!
Thanks so much! So glad you liked it!
Thank You for your full tutorial with step by step feature controls and settings for my 2021 NX 300… I’m still trying to find the fog light switch. Lol…
Hi Staci! Jump to this section on the headlamps. The Fog Light is controlled on the dial that is located on the headlamp stalk. It will just be off or on and will sync with the low beam headlights when they are in auto and the fog light is turned to on : 27:58 Head Light Controls Hope this helps :)
Thank you!
You bet! Thanks for tuning in!
I guess this is the first amazing tutorial in youtube ever.
Done subscribing. Will save this for future reference.
So sorry for the delay. I'm in Texas in an area hit hard by a major winter storm and we had to close the dealership for a few days. Just getting back and catching up. Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Francis!
@@NorthsideLexus you're welcome. Hope you all are doing fine in recovering after the winter storm.
Watching this again.
It is an amazing product
So glad you're here! Thanks so much!
Great job, I love the LEXUS cars. Toyotas are most reliable. This LEXUS reminds me of KITT. with all these assistive functions. I wonder, if it can drive itself like AUTO CRUISE.
LOL, Michael! KITT ;-P I love it! We don't have Auto Cruise on any Lexus vehicles yet, but that will be so cool when all cars have that kind of technology! Thanks so much for tuning in!
@@NorthsideLexus , too bad, we can't set KITTs voice for navigation an voice command, RIP William Daniels, or Gottfried Kramer, he played the german voice of KITT.
@@stolmich Oh wow! That would be amazing! Customizable voices and celebrity voices would be so awesome!
@@NorthsideLexus , I have SYGIC on my phone 📱, and I use Bruce Willis‘ voice to navigate. Does the Lexus have a DVD 📀 or a CD 💿 Drive?
@@stolmich That is too cool! Bruce Willis...All I can think of it "Yippee-ki-yay..." You know the rest ROFLOL!
To your question: The 2021 and all previous year NXs all have a single disk CD player in the dash. NXs with the 10.3-inch display have a single disk DVD player. It can play DVD audio and if you are stopped, with the emergency brake on, you can see the video on the screen.
It looks like they may not have it on the 2022, based on the prototype pictures I've seen.
Have an awesome day!
Nice to catch up on the new tutorial my only issue is we get some differences and I do like them. Question on Freeways do you get a pop up of up coming exists and other details, as I really want to turn mine of
Thanks.
Hi Steven, Thanks so much for watching! Yes, there is a Freeway Exit or Freeway Information list that can be turned on or off in settings. What year is your NX? There were a couple of years where it was not customizable, but if you have a software update available (including the retrofit for Apple carPlay that was released in the US for certain cars) it is usually part of that update. If it is on your vehicle here's how to customize it: Go to Menu > Setup > Navigation > Detailed Navi Settings and look for anything about Freeway Exit or Popup Information and turn those items off. Hope this helps.
@@NorthsideLexus Thank you I have a 20/21. I have made the change you suggested and will see later today when I get out if I have succeeded in getting it right. Love my new NX all of 200km on it since Friday. Yes that new.
I love my 2021 Lexus Nx 300 F Sport
That is awesome to hear! Thanks for tuning in with me to learn about it!
Thank you for this information! I also wanted to ask - what does the button under the touch pad do?
Hi Mena, Thanks so much for tuning in to learn with me! The button below the touch pad is an additional settings menu. When you see the symbol on the main screen, press that button to open additional settings. It is usually visible on the Climate screen. I hope this helps. Thanks again!
Hello! I LOVED the tutorial! It helped so much in learning all the new features of the NX 300! I have a question, my NX came with cross bars on the top of the roof of the car and there seems to be slots in the rails for a key. Are they removable? And what key do I use? Thank you so much!
Hi @okaythen: The roof rails on the NX are adjustable and they can be removed. They do require a key and the key would have come with the set or rails. It should have been given to you or placed in the glove box or the owner's manual packet when you picked up your vehicle. I would recommend reaching out to your sales person for more information. Hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction. Thanks so much for tuning in to our channel.
@@NorthsideLexus Thank you so much for replying! I found the keys haha.
@@XIN-zl6ki That's great news! Woo hoo!
I am so thrilled to find this video. We are seniors who just bought a 2021 NX 300 Sport. Our dealer has been wonderful, but I think we non-geeks have tried the patience of their tech personnel! We are having a terrible problem with the door locking. We want the back doors to be unlocked, and the windows operable, at all times (w/o the driver having to manually unlock them each time we get in.) We did the key thing--pressing open and close simultaneously. We got the beep, then no change. The dealer said they made the change for us, but I'm still locked into the car most times. Opening via the rear door handle does open all the doors. But, once the car starts, they lock again. I feel claustrophobic "trapped" the back seat. Any suggestions? Thank you for the video, too. We are amazed at all the features and customization available!! (I am not concerned that someone will jump into the car in a dark parking lot, but I understand the safety feature aspect of door locking.)
Hi Elieen, Thanks so much for your kind comments about the video. If I'm understanding you correctly you would like the car to not lock any doors after the car has bee started, put into gear and is on the road? All doors, including the back doors. I haven't had anyone request tis before so I haven't tested it out, but here's what I would say to try:
Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customization > Door Lock Settings > Automatic Door Lock > Off
The resource I'm using is the list of Lexus Personalized Settings available online: drivers.lexus.com/content/dam/lexusdrivers/media/lps/2021/2021%20NX%20300%20Customer%20LPS%20Form.pdf
Item #1 under Door Lock Settings.
For the windows just make sure that they are not locked from the Window Lock button in the driver's door. Then the windows can be operated from any seat.
Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the channel!
Thank you so much. We'll try this!!@@NorthsideLexus
WOW!! This video is so helpful. I just bought a used 2021 NX300. Everything said luxury but I’m super disappointed that I do not have memory seating? This isn’t standard? Is there another setting hiding somewhere? Or a hack? I’m in shock this simple but useful feature isn’t standard (?). Any tips appreciated!
I'm so glad it was helpful for you! I'm sorry it sounds like the NX you have is like my previous NX, with no seat position memory. I wish it was standard equipment on all Lexus models, but unfortunately they don't build them all with it. Hopefully you will find a comfortable position that works well for you for driving and for you to easily enter and exit the vehicle. Thanks for checking in.
Hello I find your video amazing. I will get in 2 weeks a 2016 Lexus NX300h 4WD. It doesn't have the 5th wheel. I don't like much the kit and I prefer to have a spare tire/wheel. Not sure If I can do something about it. Hi from France and thank you for your video.
Hi @Levitch07 ! Congrats on your 2016 NX300h! If your NX has run flat tires and didn't come with a spare, you can check with your Lexus dealership to see if they have a compatible tire that is a traditional tire. And the next time you need tires you can consider changing. The technology for runflat tires has really come a long way, but it does take some getting used to to drive around without a spare. All the best!
Are you able to program in the MID for the digital speedometer and mile to empty or current MPG in the same screen or do I have to toggle between screens to see the preferred info I want?
Hi Bob! The Digital Speedometer is on it's own page and can't be added to the customizable Drive Info screens. You can have current MPG and Range together or a variety of other metered settings. On the MID: Settings - Metered Settings - Drive Info - Choose the item you want to change (highlight and click) - scroll through the options for available items to display. Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in!
Hi, would these additional features button on lower left to steering wheel can be added to existing nx? aftermarket sales available for these? like 360 camera / Heads up display / power liftgate with kick sensor and stuff...Thanks.
Hi @Nay_Win, unfortunately those are all factory installed items and they are not able to be added as a retrofit from a Lexus dealer. You would need to explore a reputable aftermarket company to see what they can offer. We aren't allowed to recommend anything that is a non-Lexus part, because with aftermarket installs, there is always a risk of voiding your warranty. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Thanks so much for tuning in!
Great video with valuable information. How do you save the settings after I have made my selection in audio sound (base, treble, etc)? Thank you
Hi Noah! Thanks so much for watching! The Sound settings will save automatically after you select them by clicking on the + or - for the Audio Source that is actively playing. Keep in mind that different sources can have their own Sound Settings. Change the source, then customize the settings for that source (AM, FM, SAT, etc.). When you see your selections on the screen they should save automatically. Unless you are clicking on a slide bar to increase or decrease the amount, then you need to click down again to make your selection and move off of the slide bar. That should show you your selection and it should be saved. I hope this helps.
Thank you! I learned a lot and set-up most things. I am stuck on the Go Home, entering an address. I went to Set-up, Navigation, scrolled to Home and tried both options. Neither worked. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Hi Victoria, I'm glad most things are setup! That's great! I'm sorry the NAV is being troublesome for you. Are you trying to save your Home shortcut? If so, the easiest way is to be at the location you want to save then do this:
Menu > Setup > NAV > Home > Current Location and follow the steps to save it.
Then it will save based on the location of your vehicle. To use the Go Home shortcut, just voice command : "Go home."
Check starting on page 97 of the online NAV Owner's Manual for more info: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/omnav-s/OM78607U/pdf/OM78607U.pdf
Let me know if this works for you :)
Good tips, question : where is the HUD?
Thanks so much! I did not have access to an NX with the optional HUD so I was not able to feature it. If you have an NX with a Heads Up Display check the online Owner's Manual starting on page 86 for more information. drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf Hope this will help you out.

The shifting hand gear is really really hard to use it ? It looks different than the usual hand gear !! Can you please advise how to easily use it ? How to shit from P to D easily ? Because each time I shift it shows a notification to press the brake ,, but I already pressed the brake and shift the hand gear and still not working properly.. please advise any easy way to shift the hand gear in nx2022 since its totally different
Hi Lulwa, I'm sorry you're having trouble with the gear shift. Make sure you press on the brake, then follow the pattern on the gear shift housing. From Park, shift over to the right and then come down. There are small adjustments back to the left as you bring the gear shift down to Drive, that follow the pattern shown. I hope this helps.
Where are the buttons to setup the memory seat adjustments??? Is this a standard feature? Looking all over but can't locate them
Hi. Driver Position Memory is not a standard feature. If the package on your NX includes Driver Position Memory the buttons will be located on the driver's door. Thanks for checking in.
Hello! How can i lock the door while engine is on? Car keeping beeping and shows turn off the engine. I have 2021 nx 300h. Thank you.
Hi Johnny! You'll want to use the mechanical key for that. I made a video about what to do when the key fob battery dies. Not that that is your issue, but it will show you how to access the metal key and how to lock the car from the key cylinder. ruclips.net/video/ALL6ha6dAxI/видео.html
Some other tips:
- When you lock with the metal key, you will have to unlock with the metal key. The buttons on the key fob and on the door handles will not operate.
- Make sure to take the key fob with you. The car will beep, but you will not be leaving your key in a running vehicle.
- Cars now have an auto shut-off safety feature. The car will turn off after idling for about an hour. Or after about 40 minutes if in Accessory Mode (without the engine running).
- You can also lock the car and start the engine with the Remote feature in the Lexus app. It will run for 10 minutes and then you can do a second 10 minute run remotely. After two remote cycles, you have to start the car with the push button.
Hope this helps!
I'm a little confused with my nx300h, in some videos I watch and also when I'm going to the Lexus concesionary for maintenance i asked what kind of gas should i refull with and they said unlead. But in the Car manual and other vídeos it shows to refull with lead gas. Can i have a true answer for that. Is it regular or premium gas for the nx300h 2021. Thanks
Hi! I think the Owner's Manual is the best resource. Here's what the manual for the 2021 NX300h says:
www.lexus.com/My-Lexus/resources#manuals_and_guides_promo
(page 432)
"You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle. Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage."
This means the vehicle was tested w/ 91 octane, but you can safely use 87 or higher. For best performance and fuel economy use the research octane. In this case 91. I hope this helps.
I have a 2020 NX300 without the navigation package. I just realized my enform menu does not have the chime/sound like this one does. Is it an option that can be enabled/disabled on the NX?
Hi! There are a variety of sounds settings in the main Setup menu and if you are plugging in your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, make sure to check the sound and notifications on your phone and in the apps you are using. 👍
How do you customize lane change indicator? If it only flashes three times, will the lane change lights flash only three times on the exterior as well?
Hi Kevin, that customization can be made with a Technician at your Lexus dealership. They just need to plug in their computer and make your selection. The options are: 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 blinks or Off to disable the feature. You can see more info on page 431 of the online Owner's Manual: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf
Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
I just bought 2021 Lexus NX 300 in standard package. I haven’t seen compass display. Does it have compass on Monitor?
Hi Jill, If your NX has NAV: the compass will be on the top left corner of the NAV screen and in the MID. Without NAV: it is usually in the MID. If you don't see it in the MID, then it is not on your package. I hope this helps to answer your question. Thanks so much for watching.
On our 2021NX Premium I don't see the Turbo monitor or G Force monitor after the Eco monitor screen. It goes straight to MPH after the ECO screen. Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks for your video! Due to COVID, we learned everything about operating the car from watching your video instead of having our sales rep do so.
Hi OneoF137. Is your NX a hybrid? The engine on the hybrid does not have a turbo. It could be that your NX does not have a turbo engine or the package on your NX is different in your area and does not include all of the screens that were on the F-Sport model I had access to. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching.
@@NorthsideLexus No, ours is not a Hybrid. It has the 4-cylinder Turbo. On the Lexus NX website it states that ours has the Turbo and G-force monitor. It's under "Features", "Technology".
Hi @@oneof1374 Looking in the Owner's Manual the Boost Meter (Turbo Monitor) and the G Force Monitor are showing as optional equipment. They both say "If Equipped). They must be on a different package from what you have. Hope this helps: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf
@@NorthsideLexus Here is the Lexus NX website model comparison info where it states the NX 300 has Boost/Gforce monitors (under "Technology"): www.lexus.com/models/NX?link[InfoLayer][SHOW_PAGE]=true&link[InfoLayerInner][setActiveTab]=0
I agree with you that it's optional (p81-82 owners manual) even though the website states it's standard. Makes since that it would only be on the F Sport!. Thanks so much for your help and keep up the great videos!
Thanks so much @ONEOF137 !
I just purchased my NX a month ago. How do I set my locks to where it will automatically lock after someone gets out upon me driving off?
My NX 2021 sport doesn’t have the button on the key fob to open the rear door.
Hi! If you key fob doesn't have the button to power open the back door, that means your vehicle has a manually operated back door. You will still need to have your key with you if the door is locked, but you will just press the large rubber touch pad under the bar doo handle to unlock the door and then lift the door open. Thanks for checking in.
I bought a used 2021 lexus nx f sport and i cannot find the usb charger anywhere - where would it be located?
Hi. The USB ports are under the arm rest, toward the front of that storage section. Check this section of the video about how to plug in for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for reference to the location: ruclips.net/video/GBQvHzMxH_4/видео.html Thanks for checking in.
At 48:55, under the clock there’s a small LED light which has a car and a lock. In my car, that light glows red even when the car is locked. Is that normal? It seems to flash/blink red for some reason.
Hi @Saeed_Rind Thanks for tuning in. Great question! That is the indicator for the alarm system that comes with you Lexus. When you lock the car it is armed and the light will flash. When the alarm is not set the light will be solid. There is a good explanation on page 69 of the digital Owner's Manual: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM78254U/pdf/OM78254U.pdf if you want to read more about it. The main thing to know is that the alarm does not include glass breakage detection. It is an entry deterrent. So if someone pulls hard on the door handle it will go off. But if they break a window it doesn't usually sound the alarm until they open the door. Lexus does have a glass breakage package available, but I don't think it is on all models. I hope this helps.

What is the purpose of the HOLD button ??
Hi! The Brake HOLD feature holds your foot brake while the vehicle is still in Drive. If you have the feature turned on, come to a complete stop, you will see the word HOLD light up on the instrument panel in gold, then you can remove your foot form the brake.
Here's another tutorial about that feature: Northside Lexus Brake Hold & Automatic Parking Brake Tutorial - Tech Tip Tuesday: ruclips.net/video/3nEpyxmtnm/видео.html
Thanks so much for tuning in!
i had recently purchased a certified lexus nx f sport but unfortunately there is no power tail gate or parking sensors and sunroof , but can the parking sensors be installed at a lexus dealership. ?
Hi, reg! Thanks for tuning in. Unfortunately, all of the features you listed here have to be installed at the factory at the time the vehicle is begin assembled. The Parking Sensors have hardware, wiring and software components and the bumpers and grille are different for cars with that feature. Thanks very much for tuning in with us though. I hope you enjoy your NX F-Sport!
I’m unable to figure out how to check the tire pressure on my 2021, am I missing something? I cannot find it in the Lexus App or on my car
Hi Kerstin, The tire pressure in a 2021 NX will show up in the MID on the car. Here's a shortcut to that part of the video for you: Tire Pressure Monitor: 33:48, but this is linked for you at the beginning of the MID section of the tutorial: 32:34 Multi-Information Display Buttons on Right Side of Steering Wheel Hope this helps :)

I don’t have map button instead it displays a home by so does that mean I don’t have navigation
Hi Virginia, Sorry fort he delay. That's correct. The Home button is for vehicles that do not have the Navigation package. Do you have a 21 NX? If so you have other options for navigation though. You can use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto nav apps. Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
Question - I turned off the auto brake so I could back up with my bike rack and it still auto braked. And when I turn the car off and turn it back on it automatically resets. What can I do?
Hi Sue, Thanks for tuning in. This is a great question. Here are the things we suggest for the auto braking features when using a bike rack, etc.
- Turn off the following: PKSB (Parking Support Brake) the auto braking feature, Parking Sensors in PKSA the beeping when you get to close to an object. Both of these features should not turn back on when you turn the car off and back on.
Check in the online Owner's Manual for step by step instructions

Watching this again for the 3rd time (I guess?).
Thanks so much, Francis!
@@NorthsideLexus you're welcome.
Is it normal for the car to do move a little everytime I put the car in reverse?
The NX has an electronic parking brake and the heel can shift when you shift from Park and the brake disengages if you don't have your foot firmly applied on the foot brake. Just make sure you are not moving off the foot brake until you are completely in gear and that should do it. Hope this helps.
I just purchased a 2018 Lexus NX300 and I cannot get my map or my apps to display they are all grayed out even when I connect to the Lexus app how can I fix this?
Hi A.T, sorry for the delay. If you have a 2018 NX300 with the NAV package, make sure the Micros SD card is in the port. Open the small door below the CD player. You can pop the card out and back in. If it is missing you will need to purchase a NAV SD card from your Lexus dealer. They are VIN specific and I do not recommend buying them online, because you can't guarantee they will be compatible. If you don't have a NAV package, the 2018 NX is compatible for the Apple CarPlay retrofit in the US. Check with your dealership to find out about cost and availability to book an appointment. There is not a compatible retrofit for Android Auto. There was also a Scout GPS Link app compatible with the non-NAV vehicles in some areas. You could look into that as well. None of the map apps will go through the Lexus app though. That will be to manage Service Connect health reports and other subscription connected services like Remote and Safety Connect for the SOS button. I hope this helps explain it for you. Thanks for tuning in.

Where can I find for Australian model
Hi Muttiah, I'm not sure. I haven't seen any other channels that do in-depth tutorials. I would check with your local Lexus dealership and see if they can recommend someone. All the best :)
You can be a English teacher. You speak very clearly.
Thanks so much @J_H! So glad you're here!
Hi there. I have the same lexus nx300 ex. The reverse camera usually shows full screen mode. This mornin it only showed 2/3 centered, withe huge basil's on the sides. Help
Hi! Sorry for the delay. There are different view options. See if you can click on the thumbnail to switch the views it may be in a wide view mode. Also if you have the 360 camera system, it is possible that button was pressed and you could be in the parallel view mode. Just press the button again to toggle through the options. I hope this helps.
@@NorthsideLexus hi there. I tried the thumbnails. Its either smaller or the 2/3 version. I am not sure what happened. I dont have a 360 view. I am certain before the reverse cam would fill up the whole monitor. Thats what made me buy it. What changed? Software issue?
@@asignul2009 I would send a picture of it to your Service Advisor at your Lexus dealership and ask them if it looks like it is correctly displaying from the backup camera. It can't hurt to ask.
My screen is just showing” parking system unavailable? Can you tell how to fix? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for tuning in. If all of your PKSA, PKSB, etc. features are turned on in the MID, then that message may indicate that the Parking Sensors are not functioning correctly. I would recommend taking it to your Lexus dealer to see if they need to recalibrate something for you. Hope this helps :)
@@NorthsideLexus yes PKSA and PKSb all turned on, it’s the new car, Looks I need go to dealer to fix this, thanks
Hi, how do I revert back to the original home screen on the 2021 nx300?
Hi Denese, For Non-NAV NX Home Screen customizations please do the following: Menu > Setup > Customize Home Screen Then you can select the 3 tile layout and customize what items go in each tile. Hope this helps.
@@NorthsideLexus I did customize it based on your video. However, I would like to go back to its original. Thanks
@@artsyFSH Sure thing. The default settings include the Navi app link that does not work with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, so you may want to consider that as well when you're choosing your content. The default contents are: Audio Top Left. Climate Bottom Left. Navi app link right side. If you want to reset all customizations on a vehicle you can do Delete Personal Data and clear everything. Radio presets, Home Screen customizations, phone pairing, etc. Menu > Setup > Delete Personal Data.
@@NorthsideLexus Thanks a bunches!! Great videos and indepth details. You have a follower.
Hello, could you please advise if there's instructions here on how to remove back side seats 🙏 there's no info in the manual of the NX 200
hi Bayrzhan, The back seats can't be removed from the vehicle. They can only be folded down or reclined back. Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
@@NorthsideLexus OK, do you have any link on how to do it ⁉️ in my manual book there's no info, I need to put covers to the back seats 🤷♂️ tx in advance...
@@bsatylganov 15:11 Rear Seating & Cargo Access
TX, but not what I need
@@bsatylganov Sorry to hear that, but the seats are not designed to be removed. You may need to talk to a Technician who is trained on structural details for the vehicle. I specialize in Lexus Technology and training and would not be able to advise you on dismantling seats. Also make sure you aren't at risk of voiding your warranty if you remove the seats. That is always a risk when working with after market accessories. Best of luck with your project. Sorry I'm not able to help.
When will 2022 be done just bought 2022
Hi Charleen, Thanks for checking in. I am working on the 2022 NX Deep Dive tutorial and hope to have it out in the next week or so. Thanks so much.
Currently I have these two videos for the new Power Back Door features: ruclips.net/video/lCaKcWvYvqQ/видео.html and How to Setup a Profile: ruclips.net/video/lCaKcWvYvqQ/видео.html Hopefully they will be of some help.
How do i tilt the steering wheel 2021 lexus 300 nx?
Hi Robert, Do you have a power or manual steering wheel? Also, are you asking about the tilt position for driving or for exiting the vehicle? Happy to help.
@@NorthsideLexus power steering tilt for driving thanks
@@21cadefoster Thanks for the reply. Locate the joy stick type toggle on the left side of the steering column. It can be moved up and down to tilt the entire column or forward and back to bring the wheel closer or farther away. The wheel moves with the column and not independently. I hope this helps. 17:02 Steering Wheel Adjustment
Still couldn't figure out if this is a touch screen :(
Hi Shivkumar, Thanks for tuning in. The 2021 NX does not have a touch screen. Hope this helps.
Hi. I just purchased a 2021 Lexus 300 NX and I connected my iPhone to the car. I can hardly hear the caller. I have tried everything to increase the volume. The caller can hear me, but I cannot really hear them clearly at all. I have turned up the car volume as well as the volume on my phone. The problem persists. Can you offer any guidance? It's the only thing that has disappointed me about the vehicle. Thank you. I also looked at your tutorial for the 2020 model, but they are a little different.
Hi Mario! Congratulations on your new NX! Not to worry, volume issues are all about phone settings so your beautiful new vehicle is not the culprit. Try these trouble shooting tips: (every volume setting on smart phone is now independent of the call volume when you are not connected to another device, like the car.)
1. Power off you phone and turn it back on to do a soft reset of phone.
2. Once the phone is back on, let it connect to the Bluetooth system in the car.
3. Start with the Bluetooth volume for phone calls. Place a call to someone willing to help troubleshoot. Once the call is active, turn the volume all the way up on the side of your iPhone. Then start adjusting it on the car. (even if your normal call volume is all the way up, this will be a separate call volume setting and can only be done while on a BT connected call.)
4. If that is successful move on to Bluetooth Audio. Get something playing on your phone, select Bluetooth Audio from your Audio Source, turn the volume all the way up on the side of the iPhone, then adjust further on the car.
5. Siri through Bluetooth is next. Press and hold the Talk button on the steering wheel, wait for the tones, say "How's the weather." When Siri starts talking, adjust the volume on the side of the iPhone all the way up and then adjust further on the car.
6. Then check your Apple CarPlay settings for volume, by plugging in the phone for Apple CarPlay and make a call or send a text and start adjusting the volume on the side of the iPhone first than on the car.
I'm not sure why the smartphone software engineers though separating all of the volume controls was a great idea, but they did. I hope this helps. All the best.
@@NorthsideLexus Thank you so much. I appreciate you. I will follow these steps. Much gratitude.
@@NorthsideLexus I just tried it and it works great now. Thank you again.
@@MarioBrownEverEvolving Yay! That's awesome news! Enjoy and thanks for the update!
Thank you for the very useful video ! I have just bought the 2021 NX 300 with almost all options and everything run well. I love the car ! I have one minor question: every time driving home the car makes one bleeping sound when I get within under 1/4 of a mile to my house.
Hi! Congrats on your new NX300! It sounds like there is a notification set near your home, possibly for the "Home" shortcut on the vehicle or in a navigation app on your home. First check the following on the car:
Menu - Setup - Navigation - Home - Edit - look at the Icon edit line, there are some options that play sounds. You can change this and choose a different icon that does not include an audible notification. If it is a navigation app on your phone, you'll need to check the settings in each of those apps. I'm guessing it is the setting in the car though, so I would start there to hopefully save you some time :) Let me know how it goes. Thanks so much for tuning in!
@@NorthsideLexus
Hi I just purchased this NX sport 2021 and it doesn’t have a button to release the trunk from inside is that normal I thought I was getting a premium package but obviously not can you help me with that.
Hi@@jankeely, My first NX also did not include the Power Back Door. When you look at the key fob, is there a button for the Power Back Door? If not, and there are only the door lock, unlock and alarm buttons, then the car did not come with the PBD feature. The only option would be to talk to your sales person. It is not something that can be added after the fact. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks for tuning in with me!
Can I start the engine with the smart remote?
Hi Zahra, Yes, if you have an active Enform Remote account setup through the Lexus app you can remotely start the car through your phone app. The key fob can also be used to remotely start the car, but it has much more strict parameters and you need to be about 30 feet from the vehicle. The app requires a cell signal to the car and to the phone and can operate at any distance. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for replying! Yes I meant through the key fob since the Lexus app is not available in my region yet.
How can I command it to do so?
Pity you didn't show the exterior of the car, even if in other videos, it is still good practice to show even a quick exterior view. I had to click off to another video to see what car you were talking about and that could lead me or a potential customer away from your channel. Just my few thoughts on the production side of things.
Thanks for the feedback, microBROADCAST. These videos were originally intended to support our customers who had already bought the car, so showing the exterior was not part of the plan. Now, the channel has grown so much and many people seem to be using the videos during their shopping process, so this might be a great addition. I know they are already really long and that be be off-putting for some. Do you think adding a little bit of exterior and interior footage as an intro would be good? Thanks again.
@@NorthsideLexus Hi, yes, I think you are right. It's a good sign really that your videos have grown beyond what you initially thought they would be and are now getting a 'new' and wider audience. I also agree that a few short clips interspersed of the exterior now and then would be helpful as online visitors may not have seen any other videos, so an interior only shot won't convey what it looks like from the exterior. Maybe consider a graphics and music intro and outro e.g. just 30 seconds at the start and end, would also help. It would look more professional. Judging by your graphics you seem to have good software, so maybe it is just a matter of getting some motion graphic plug-ins and choosing some music. Best wishes with the videos.
@@microbroadcast thanks so much! Great suggestions. I'm learning and trying to improve all the time. Who knew these video would be come so popular. I really appreciate your input. I'll keep working on it. Kizen, as we say in the Lexus world ;)
@@NorthsideLexus You're very welcome, any time. 🙂 Great idea Kizen! For me the process has been more Kintsugi.
@@microbroadcast Very cool. I know Kintsugi as a concept in pottery. Making something even more beautiful out of something that was damaged. Giving new life to a piece. I love that!
very much pissed off about the enform app being a paid service and not being complimentary
Hi Steven, When you get a new Lexus you have a long free trial period for all of the Enform services. The 2021 NX trial period is for 3-years for: Safety Connect, Remote, Dynamic NAV & Destination Assist on NAV vehicles and 10-years free for Service Connect. Paid services would being after the trial. Hope this helps to clarify things for you. Thanks for tuning in.
@@NorthsideLexus No I understand that! I am more annoyed that it’s not a free app for however long one might be using their Lexus and not just as a 3 year trial period. Great video though!
@@NorthsideLexus Regarding the engine flushing that has to occur every 12,000 miles how much does such a maintenance procedure cost? It seems to be a unique cost associated with owning a Lexus
@@stevengershik3067 ahh I got ya. That would be awesome. They may be anticipating the expenses of app updates, app maintenance, etc. Fortunately the cost has come way down and you don't have to bundle features to get the Remote like you used to. It seems like they have structured it to match the popular lease term. That could be part of it also. Sorry it was frustrating for you. I sure hope you like your NX though. Thanks again for tuning in to learn with us.
@@stevengershik3067 that is a great question for Service. I can reach out to my team, but you will get a more accurate answer with the dealership you are going to go to. They may have different labor costs or might offer a special. For example, at our stores we pay for the 15, 20 and 25K maintenance visits when you purchase or lease your car with us and service with us.
Thank you !
You're so welcome!
