NX Interesting Discoveries Thread (Good or Bad)

I didn't realize, but the space under the mirror in the console, that space extends under the wrist rest for the trackpad. Able to shove a few things in there.
And as Corrado mentioned, I find the trackpad much better when disabling the haptic feedback.

I noticed when I was checking out the NX I had paired my IPhone up to it with Bluetooth which is how I have it connected in my RX with the ML system. The sound dropped off considerably, I could not get it to go loud enough. I have no problem with my RX. Not happy about that. I was checking out the MKC with the upgraded stereo system and it was actually worse. I don't get it, you can charge your phone wirelessly but you can't listen to music.....go figure.
I am keeping a close I on this forum before I make a decision on getting a NX. Maybe next year they will offer an upgrade to the stereo plus power folding mirrors. My wish list. Happy New Year All !

I too noticed the sound quality was crappier from my phone via bluetooth than satellite radio. After tinkering around in many menus I found that bluetooth audio has its own EQ settings.
If your radio EQ was adjusted and your bluetooth EQ wasn't, that is why the radio sounds better. Tweak it and voila - better sound!

For those who don't know: Carista lets you change your "Lexus Personalized Settings" by yourself, without a trip to the dealer. More info on our web site.

Excellent. I've ordered my ieGeek® WIFI Wireless OBD2 Auto Scanner today and expect it to arrive by the end of the week. I'll report back when I've done some testing!

not sure if anyone mentioned yet, that to SPRAY THE REAR WINDOW WASHER FLUID, you need to PUSH forward the right wiper stalk. As opposed to other models where you twisted the end of the stalk.

I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to get the nav display (or whatever is displayed there at the moment) to not dim so quickly when, for instance, you go under an overpass. It would be nice if it could be set to delay for, say, fifteen or thirty seconds.

Wireless Charger Tray Can Stay Up
Well, this may be a silly discovery on my part but thanks to this thread, I discovered the wireless tray in the console can actually stay up in place. Even the tens of video reviews on the NX on the web show the tray falling down on the reviewer. And it's how I've been operating it too
In short, open the console lid a couple inches further back beyond where it feels like it stops since it can go nearly all the way vertical. Then you will also be able to do the same with the charging tray thereby staying in place in that position.
No more tray slowly falling down on you LOL

A minor interesting discovery:
I had the dealer change the number of times the turn signals flash when "half-pressing" the lever from three to five (as this suits my driving habits better). But once in awhile I don't want them to flash all five times (or want them to flash more).
I discovered that if you press the lever in the same direction again, the count resets, so they flash five times from that point. And if you press the lever the opposite direction, the flashing stops immediately.

LPS Dealer settings #33 and #34 deal with the instrument panel and NAV display dimming light sensitivity. #33 is for how dark it must be to dim and #34 is for how light it must be to return to day mode.
