Good point. Need a new column for the Qi charger as totally useless. Especially, if you have a big(now standard) size phone like the 6+.

My large Samsung phone fits in the wireless charger, but my complaint is that it is not a temperature-regulating charger. The battery can get very hot. None of my other wireless chargers heat up my phone like the NX's wireless charger. My others dial it down a bit when the temperature gets to a certain level.

I have a China/eBay Qi charger and it makes my Galaxy S6 edge very hot. The official Samsung one charges fine with minimal heat.

If my phone were to melt, not sure if that's a Samsung or Lexus warranty claim

Must have-50 more hp in the F sport cars. more responsive transmission programming in Sport mode, hold user settings like Sport, brake hold, the ability to turn off the rear camera at night because it's too bright and distracting.

PLEASE eliminate the parking brake activation if you disconnect your seatbelt.

I have a road trip in mid March and likely with get rid of my NX after that

Another must have;
Window tint for the front windows. For the coolness factor.

Forgot to mention one particularly annoying useless issue in the Aus spec Fsport and that is the shadow chrome wheels.
Went to get some touch up paint matched for the wheels at a specialist paint dealer.
Apparently the wheels require a 4 stage painting process. Black base, then chrome paint then 2 coats of clear coat.
The chrome paint is $120 (Aus) for a small bottle and it has to be sprayed on.
He recommended chucking the wheels once they got badly scratched. Replacements are cheaper than a professional repair.
Thank goodness for the panoramic camera that gives side view when parking. Saved the wheels a few times already.
