Hurray! Thank you for consolidating & publishing this list. My thoughts on additions: * How about engine water temperature? When I drive in a hot, hilly area at high speed, it’d be nice to know when the ICE is getting overtaxed or if the cooling system is sub-optimal. * How about oil (all kinds) temperature & pressure? Do the electric motors have temperature sensors that make sense? Battery pack temperatures? Regarding the video points: * Home Screen - Yes! * Fuel Economy (MPG or L/100km) - Yes. I would suggest that the bar charts shown in the trip info need to be reconsidered. Instead of several time slices like done currently, I suggest several columns with different functions -- for all time; for this trip (nice to allow different “trip” settings); since refuel; since start; last few minutes; last minute; last 10 seconds. Ideally, you can set the columns up in a personalized fashion, but that might be hard to keep simple. Also, for each column, a digital readout is needed otherwise it’s not possible to differentiate 37 vs 36. Finally, hairlines should be used to show the scale (say 20/25/30/35/40mpg) across all the bars. * Range On EV/HV/Charge - Yes! * Tire Pressure - Yes! I suggest that the center LCD might want a popup like feature for “critical changes” like the tire pressure changing by more than 1 unit (psi in this case) since last read. * Navigation - Yes please do remember the direction of travel vs north setting. I would also like it if I could adjust where the vehicle icon shows up on the map to say 30% behind me & 70% in front of me. Thus, we’d get to see more of where we’re going than where we’ve been. * Full LCD in driver view - Sure, that’d be good. * Custom Gauges - Yes, but harder to do. * Cruise Control - Not sure I agree as w/ the HUD, you can see the choices on the HUD which is where I want my attention…not on the buttons on the wheel. * Fresh Air - Maybe, but my concern is adding yet another physical button. The idea of a virtual button is interesting, but where do you put it and still make it easy to find quickly? * Driver Temp Override - I agree with you that this is not necessary (or I also don’t understand). * Physical AC Buttons - I think that Lexus made a reasonable tradeoff between physical & virtual controls for the AC. * Different Fan Speeds - Each of the dash air outlets has a thumbwheel that adjusts how much air comes thru…isn’t this what they’re asking for? The virtual fan control is the “maximum” air that could come out & you fine tune with the individual air outlets. My wife & I do this adjustment all the time.
There are a bunch of things they can do better regarding memorizing last setting after power cycle. Like s-flow, last AC setting. Etc... it keeps defaulting those values, especially when I turn off the AC and turn it back on later.
I appreciate the wish list. Other high-end car manufacturers provide a more comprehensive set of information and KPIs on their infotainment systems. I was anticipating updates to be more regular and substantial. Lexus certainly has the potential to enhance their offerings in this area.
The trip information screen definitely needs a rework. It shows such limited information when I’m sure Lexus is collecting every granular detail for diagnostics and product development
Given the 450 is considered the ‘cream of the crop’ of the NX range, it should DEFINITELY come with the Mark Levinson as standard! Also, here in Aus the front seat cooling isn’t strong enough. My previous car was much better.
Interesting to see the wish list on this topic. Maybe each driver has his own way to use and customize the system... I agree about the home screen, this could help the overall useability. Also, the full digital instrument cluster is definitely an evolution that would bring a significant improvement. I prefer so much the digital instrument cluster from our LBX... One detail about tire pressure : when one tire has a problem (a different pressure than the others), then the pressures are displayed in the current multi-information display, on both HUD or non-HUD versions.
Over here in the UK I'd just like to have wireless Android Auto. Lexus dealers have been promising for a long time that it will eventually appear, via an OTA update. However, Lexus is mute on the subject, I can't even find out why we don't have it!
@@lsft Lexus/Toyota very reticent about the subject, Carplay is wireless in my NX, but I have to use a Motorola MA1 (which doesn't work as seamlessly in the NX as it did in my RAV). It's very frustrating and made more annoying that Lexus will not even say what the issue is.
That would make the NX too similar to the RX. I would hope to see the NX550h+ similar to the TX powertrain, but the price would just be way beyond many NX owners would be willing to spend
Audio system does not recognize USB playlists. Also, you can’t simply play a genre. Audio system is surprisingly outdated. It doesn’t do things my much older cars were able to do.

Thanks for your ideas and feedback on the items. I wonder if we can get this information when we plug into the OBD port... might have to try to see.

Agreed.

Worst thing is ... previous gen NX had more data.

Totally agree
Greetings from Ontario Canada home of the 2 tmmc plant in Cambridge and Woodstock Ontario thanks for the presentation
Greetings from Ontario as well. 👍👍

You must be in a very hot place. Mine blows cool air and I can feel it even through my pants
I wish the Apple CarPlay map could be maximized to the same size as Lexus map. The vertical size is smaller in the Apple map.
They will need to find a way to pop up the climate controls if they have that functionality... but definitely a good idea.
My only one wish is that the NX450h+ F Sport 3 should come with the Mark Levinson sound system!!!! 😡
Hopefully it will happen

Thanks about the tire pressure thing. I've never had issues with mine so never saw it in the mid.

I heard legal issues, but also frequency issues...

I like to have an NX with the RX 500 engine.
That would make the NX too similar to the RX. I would hope to see the NX550h+ similar to the TX powertrain, but the price would just be way beyond many NX owners would be willing to spend

Good advise on a standard they should adopt. I think it's just basic folder structure playback. Hope this read this list.
Even from the base? Mine does that only from the seat back.
Yes. Maybe you need to wear thinner pants. 😂😝
