And the good folks at WeatherTech seem to be far, far past the dates they were giving people to add NX products to their lineup.

I've set my door locks to auto lock when I go above 13 miles.

But I've recently noticed that if I stop and put the car in park without turning the car off then start driving again the doors don't lock above the speed limit.

It does it initially when I first get in the car but not after. what gives?

If you don't open the door when you stop and put in park, it stays locked...at least that is what another car of mine does. Haven't tried this on the NX

tresmith00

I don't think it matters if you open the door or not. I didn't pay attention to that.

tresmith00

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but I also notice that if you remote start the car, it turns off when you unlock the doors. Kind of annoying.

It's annoying, but I prefer it for the peace of mind. I can remote start on my way out of my office and not have to worry that someone is in the parking lot ready to drive off

tresmith00

I get that.

I'm surprised that the sensor can detect when the key is not in the car so why not disallow someone from driving off too. Seems like a feature that should be implemented.

Agree. Seems like the it should realize that the fob is not in proximity and keep the doors locked until you are within range. Odd. I'm sure Lexus has a very good reason for doing this, I'm just not sure I understand at this moment. Probably means this "feature" will rarely be used by me, if ever.

tresmith00

sometimes certain features don't get implemented because someone else owns the patent. and if that's the case, Lexus may opt to wait for the patent to expire rather than pay the licensing fee.

The RES uses the immobiliser bypass to start the car, as the key is not in range "within" the car. Any change of state will shut the car off, even if the door was opened with the key. Lexus does not implement secure remote takeover, probably for safety reasons, IE car jacking and also for security reasons as it would need to implement the encryption key within the remote starter. Some after markets go around this by highjacking a key fob, but that has its own drawbacks.

Did anyone think the NX's rear tailgate rake was more pronounced than the 3RX? I thought it was a little more, but surprised that they're virtually identical. I'd say the NX's more sloping rear roofline contributes to the illusion!

The same can't be said with the 4RX which is noticeably more raked.

Wow...those pics are great....amazing how close the present RX and NX are how much bigger the new RX is going to be ! It will be interesting to see how many RX owners are going to like the bigger RX for 2016. I have friends who have a current RX, and they say they should have left it the size it was, and don't like it.

I agree. when I first took delivery of my F Sport, in December, I asked about the all weather mats & liners. I was told it would be about 3 months. I contacted them by email () no reply.
I called first part of April & was told they had no plans for either of those products.

I'm using all weather mats from my 13 RX they cover most of the carpet but not all.

Tigerfever

That's odd. My dealership in Canada automatically gives all weather mats with every purchase and I have them in the vehicle now. They appear to be made for the NX as they say NX on them so they're definitely making them.

Dumb decision since the NX is selling like hotcakes.
