The manual basically says if you have any accessories in the area of the kick sensor, just turn the whole thing off and forget about using it.

I owned my 2022 NX 350 Premium for a whole 2 weeks and returned it at a huge loss to me and bought my old F-sport back. Why?
1) the user profile never automatically prompted me to enter my code when I got into the car and I had to go into settings and manually force it. If I happened to forget? Oh well, can only do it while parked which did me absolutely no good while i was stuck in traffic on the highway trying to find an alternative to get home. You don’t get any of your subscriptions or recent destinations in guest mode.
2) while my text messages played back when I received them, I couldn’t get back to them via bluetooth. There was nothing there. Had to use carplay.
3) the wireless cell phone charging pad was sporadic. It usually never worked.
4) the windshield wipers would never go to the edge of the windshield despite being adjusted by service and stopped right in my field of vision, leaving a 4 inch gap on the left side of the windshield that I couldn’t see out of when it rained.
5) The gas engine has a feature that when you step on the brake will shutoff and start the engine like a hybrid to save gas. While this sounds like a great feature on paper, it cannot be disabled and can only be temporarily shut off via a button that resets when you shut off the car. Sounds great? Yeah… sure. My car stopped and started so much in stop and go traffic on the highway that it literally killed my battery. It got so low that the auto shutoff stopped functioning altogether with an error that said “battery charging” for 3 days afterwards. This was the killer for me.
on top of all of this, the day I picked up my car, it wouldn’t connect to any of Lexus’s services while at the dealership so I couldn’t even go through any of the settings while I was there. I spent 10 hours, wasted a work day, and they were back and forth with tech support trying to get my car to even function.
bottom line, this car is a piece of crap and feels like a cheap Toyota instead of a lexus. Unless they make some big improvements, my 2020 NX will be the last lexus I own and I’ve had 4 of them previously.

Has anyone had problems with cleaning the dashboard and door trims in the car?
I had some tinting applied and whatever they sprayed the windows with dribbled a bit on the doors and I can't get it off.
Also I wiped over my dash with a damp microfibre cloth, then a dry one to dry it, and it's put these sort of scratches into the dash. I wasn't even doing it hard. The material seems to not be very resilient for dashboard material.

I also have the wiper problem. (Sweden) I think it is because Japanese cars are right hand drive so the holes for fitting the wiper mechanisms are on the "wrong" side, meaning that the geometry of the system does not allow the whole screen to be wiped. I would bet that the British and Japanese versions will wipe properly.

I have the activity mount and the kick sensor works part of the time. It seems to be very picky where you put your foot, but after kicking multiple times it works.
