Hi everyone,

Just got a quick question about the start up chimes on my NX 350, when I first got the vehicle it do have the triple chimes when starting up the vehicle, but now it's completely gone. Does anyone have any clue about how to bring them back?


Cheers

 

P.S. It's nothing to do with whether I got my seatbelt on or not.

 

Interested in the responses yet to come. I had the same thing happen a couple of years ago to my NX 350 F Sport. When I spoke to the service dept about it, I was told there never was a chime. I got nowhere. Based in Australia.

 

I'm 1000% sure there were three chimes right after pressing the start button.

 

how to turn on start up chime in 2022 lexus nx

Copilot

To enable the startup chime on your 2022 Lexus NX, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings Menu: Press the "Menu" button on the infotainment system.
   
2. Navigate to Vehicle Settings: Use the touchpad or the directional buttons to find the "Vehicle Settings" option.
   
3. Select Audio: Within the Vehicle Settings, look for the "Audio" section.
   
4. Enable Start-Up Chime: Find the option for "Start-Up Chime" and toggle it to "On".
   

 

What is your source for that info bc I'm not finding any of that on my 2025 screen and it should be the same as the 2022?

 

I personally don't recall ever hearing or seeing a setting for a startup chime in my '23. But to answer your question, it appears that post was referencing "CoPilot", which is Microsoft's AI search engine tool (within their "Bing" search engine site). However, these AI tools aren't always accurate. They do pattern matching across all the Internet stuff it has (whether accurate or garbage) and tries to squeeze the data into something that makes sense. In this case, I'm going to suggest it doesn't, because looking at the instructions, it references "touchpad" and "directional buttons". On the 2nd gen NX, there is no touchpad or directional buttons that interface with the infotainment screen. I think the AI tool is trying to incorporate instructions for a different car and making a faulty assertion it applies here. AIs are not perfect, if they were Teslas would not crash.

 

Ok I thought I was missing something but didn't think I was. If I don't want to hear the chimes I just buckle my seat belt before starting the car.

 

I'm pretty sure none of the settings you mentioned ever existed lol. Where did you get these.

 

@Droid13 is exactly correct, this is the output of an AI that is Microsoft's attempt at AI within Bing. As with any AI there is programming behind it and the answer/s are dependent on how well the AI was programmed an how well there fuzzy logic and unknown responses are programmed. You will start seeing more and more AI. A lot of your phone solicitation calls use a AI voice/person like front end to qualify the user before turning them over to "their manager", the first actual real person. Amazon keeps going more and more to AI and they subsequently and continually make it hard and harder to talk to a "real person" what is frustrating is when you get in an AI loop and the "other" dead ends and does not give you sn option out of the AI loop. AI loops save companies a lot of money because they eliminate the costs of multiple real people.

In this case I think, in my opinion, Co=pilot pulled out and answer that does not exactly fit the NX and you may never be able to find the "chime" option.

Please remember this forum is based on user opinion and is open to all opinions. You may not agree with another person's opinion but at least respect it. In certain cases and incorrect previous answer can be addressed directly and sometimes direct addressing with correct information sometimes offends the previous incorrect responder. The correct response is not necessarily an a**hole response,

BTW I'm referring to this sound

 

Are you talking about the "Drivers Connect" startup sound? If you no longer have "Divers Connect" you won't hear this sound.

So I wondered about this and got confused, and then got more confused. Today I started my car in the garage and got the 3 tones. Ran an errand came back, turned off the car. Restarted and got NO tones. Turned off the car, opened the door, closed the door, restarted and got 2 tones. So there. I have no idea what causes the tones and why, and when.

Nah I'm not, this is the default start up chime, just like the chimes in the video I posted on #11. I used to hear those chimes right after pressing the start up button but now I'm hearing nothing.
