Back up sensors are missing
I did not realized but my wife's NX 450h+ basic did not come with back up sensors, can dealer add them?
Thank you

Can the dealer add just back up sensors?

Crutchfield.com among others supply back up sensor kits and install videos. They are black in color so depending on her car's color will not have the visual appearance of the factory pieces. Another back assistant she might like is a backup camera. These are also definitely not as streamlined in appearance and function as the factory system but will work in a pinch. Involves attaching to the rear license plate bracket and adding a Bluetooth display to the inside of the cabin by the mirror.

Pretty sure all current generation NX models have back up sensors. It's a required item needed for their Lexus Safety System 3.0. There will be little circular dots located on both rear and front bumpers. You probably can't add any additional after market sensors to the Lexus Safety System.

The Lexus Safety System is the suite of warnings triggered by the forward-facing camera that is near the inside rearview mirror. The dime sized Park Assist sensors are different and while customary in most trim levels, are not standard on some models.

All second generation Lexus NX sold in USA and Canada are equipped with front and rear parking sensors and Lexus Safety System 3.0 . The safety system will utilize signals from the parking sensors and cameras and radar sensors all in combination. You cannot get a current generation NX without them.
This is USA brochure for 2022 the base model NX has park assist and Lexus 3.0 Safety Sense the 450H+ builds on those features as well as
"Includes NX350h AWD features and Luxury Package features, and adds or replaces:- Heated steering wheel" MY 23 through 26 remain offering same safety features.

As for the question, I don't have an actual answer either. I can only speculate and suggest it would likely to be cost prohibitive to add these to an existing vehicle. With enough money, anything is possible, but it would probably be a better strategy to see if you can trade it for a model with the options your wife wants. An option like this isn't normally a port-installed nor a dealer-installed option and there is much more to the solution than simply adding the sensors.

I don't live in the US, but I've looked high and low to find out what the basic NX450h+ has for standard features trying to offer some clarification, and this is what's on the US site:
https://www.lexus.com/build/NXphev/2...&zipcode=14305
Boy the US based website info is incredibly difficult to navigate! If I'm not correct my apologies, but I don't know why Lexus would even sell even a base NX without parking sensors.
