Wow. This is such a good resource! I've just spent a frustrating 1.75 hours just sitting in my newly acquired UX250h Takumi, with the User Guide, trying to get to grips with the infotainment system. Hmmmm..... not good. Then I remembered this video (which I had found when researching my Lexus - but before I'd bought one). What a godsend this is! Clear, concise, well filmed, good narrative. And it covers so much more. It's going to be my bible. Should be standard issue with every car. Thanks Melissa - great job! (now, can we get you to do one in a UK model...? LOL)
Hi! Thanks so much for all of your support! Congratulations on your new UX! I sure wish I could hop "across the pod" and make a Lexus Deep Dive Tutorials - UK series LOL! Someone would have to teach me how to drive on the other side of the road! 🤣 I'm trying to get caught up on so many videos right now, but we have been crazy busy with guest tutorials after the holiday sales event. So many people learning all the cool things on their new Lexus🤓 Now to find time to film and edit all these amazing new cars! Thanks again for being here!
@@phileagle8432 That would be awesome! Maybe one day I can take this show on the road. LOL! Thanks so much for always being so supportive! Who's going to teach me how to drive on the other side of the road!? ROFLOL 🤣
This is such a fabulous video! As a potential UX customer this gives a wonderful insight into how easy the features are to use and the thoughtful features of the car - something I love about Lexus! Thx for explaining everything so clearly 😊
Great to hear it! Have you tried the online Owner's Manuals on the Lexus.com website? www.lexus.com/My-Lexus/resources#manuals_and_guides_promo Check under My Lexus > Resources > My Vehicle's Manuals Hopefully those pdf's will help also. So glad to have you here :)
Hi Melissa. Im in the UK and just bought my 2020 ux250h Takumi. Love the car and your videos are great as there is nothing like this in the UK. So pleased i found your channel as its helped so much, (even though the controls are on the opposite side) 😊 Thank you!!
Hi @Joanie! LOL! I hear ya! Hopefully the Index with the time stamps will help you jump through to refresh on specific things :) Glad it was helpful! Thanks for tuning in!
LOL! That's too funny, @InfinityOrchid :) I can tell you you're in good company. Apparently we have a LOT of viewers who don't have Lexus yet either. I'm just glad you're here and enjoying the videos! Thanks for making my Friday!
@@NorthsideLexus I think Lexus is a bit pricey but now I kinda know why and on my list of the next car. Your review is very detailed and it makes me tune in to the review and actually focus on the video.
@@PreludeSon That's so awesome! Luxury cars are definitely in a higher price range, but don't forget to look at the L-Certified pre-owned vehicles in your area. A lot of them are from leases, so they are well taken care of and generally have lower miles. They hold their value, so they won't be dirt cheap, but they will be high value for a good price. And the L-Certified warranty is really good also. Let me know if you have any questions about it when you get it :) Have an awesome weekend!
Thank you so much for this and the other videos. I’m in sales and this is so helpful. Way easier to understand than the owner’s manual. You’re amazing!
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Maxwell Dayton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I am picking up my 2020 ux Lexus tomorrow. I am super excited. It is compact and cute. Definitely not a car for a soccer mom. A car for either a young and single person or a person with grown kids. Update;I picked up my Lexus from the dealership. It is indeed everything I wanted in a luxury suv. I especially like that it is gas efficient.
So awesome! You will love it! My son is tall and we still haul around a lot of things for his activities (well before COVID, any way) so I am in the NX. I had planned on getting the UX, because I love how it drives. That will be what I get when he goes off to college. Maybe one for him and one for me! 🤣. Thanks so much for watching!
Very informative, thank you. I just bought a UX and the salesman just gave me the keys and walk away, should they have gone over at least some of this with me?
FGilan it’s very tricky right now because of precautions with the virus. Some dealerships are not permitting associate inside cars with Guests. Other are trying to minimize the amount of time. At our store we are trying to balance safety and service. We wear masks and gloves if we get into cars with Guests and still try to limit the amount of time and exposure. I know not all dealerships do detailed introductions, but it’s always been our way. Glad I could help. Hope you enjoy your new UX!
Hi Colin, I would use the Front Defrost button and take advantage of the remote start feature in the Lexus app to precondition the UX before your drive. If you have a Windshield Wiper Deicer in your climate menu items, you can turn that on and it will time out on its own. We don't have a lot of vehicles with that feature in our area and it is not available on all models. Hope this helps. Thanks very much for being here.
This is an awesome help for the new buyers. I bought 2020 Lexus UX 300e. I was told by my dealer that the vehicle do not have navigation and i need to plug in my iphone for directions. Also i got all the manuals in dutch which i cannot use and i could not still manage to get an english version. Could you please let me know how do i use the navigator option built in Lexus UX 300 e - 2020? Many thanks
Hi! If you have the Lexus factory NAV, then click on the Search Pin icon on the Map screen. If your UX is a non-NAV model, then you will need to plug in and connect for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The Connected NAV tile on the Home screen is for an app that is no longer supported. You can customize the Home Screen In the main Setup menu to hide that tile. That is always what I recommend. Thanks for checking in.
Hi there- hoping you can help with this: behind the drivers side to the right of seat track there is a small hole (usually it has a cover on it). Do you know where this hole leads and how I can access it without removing the seat? I lost an important earring down there. Thank you!!
Hi Alexandra, I'm so sorry to hear about your earing. I'm trying to see if I can get my hands on a UX to have a Tech look at this and tell me if there is another way to access it. We have very low UX inventory and don't seem to have one on site. I'll let you know if I can find something out for you.
@@NorthsideLexus thank you so much! Do you know which hole I am referring to? I don’t know why its there or what the purpose of it is, but it has the seat track cover there so I guess it’s supposed to be there. Please let me know if you are able to take a look and see if there’s another way to access it! Thank you so much again!
Hi @mayar24. I am not aware of a block heater plug in accessory, but I am located in Houston, TX and we do not get a lot of cold weather packages or accessories. I would recommend reaching out to a Lexus Parts Department in your area to see if they can better assist. All the best!
Thanks for your post this video. Very helpful. Could you please let me know. What is difference between Lexus Ux F sport, and Luxury ? And the prices out of the door, please?
Great choices. There is a big size difference between the two. Maybe look in the middle at the NX? If you're worried about the overall size or height of the vehicle. If you're looking for touch screen the RX is the way to go. All of them are great riding vehicles and have nice access for cargo. Pricing will definitely favor the UX and NX. Check for specials in your area as well :) Happy shopping!
Hi! Thanks for your question. On the 2020 UX, under the arm rest you will see two USB ports with the Data symbol, either of those two USB-A ports will operate Apple CarPlay. 👍
Hello how are you I would like to know how to function the fun ventilation farm on the back where a passenger sitting I never make it work because I don't know where we can put it on
Hi. I'm not sure what you mean by "fun ventilation in the back" of the car. There are AC vents that can be opened and closed and depending on your model you may need to turn S-Flow off from the front main climate control screen so that air flows in the entire cabin.
On the back of this car between two passengers, over to USB charger, There is a ventilation grill where the air does not come out. I don't know how to make it work. My version is Lexus UX luxury 250h e-four.
Thank you for such a informative video Melissa! I recently bought the UX 250h f sport model with premium package and still going through all the features. Dealership basically gave me the key and took my money lol. This had been so helpful. I do have a question that was not covered in the video. How do you set to have the mirrors retract when parked and locked?
Hi Jen! I'm so glad to be able to help. The mirrors will fold in if your UX has Auto Folding mirrors. Look for the word "Auto" on the toggle above the mirror adjustment. If that area is blank then the mirrors will not fold in with power, but they can be folded in manually. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
@@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit No one asked or cares what a basic Kia has. They also have the biggest rip off image. Fake rip off wanna be bmw interiors. Crappy clunky transmissions with crappy rattlely engines. No one gives a s*** what features any Kia has. Kia has to add every feature to every model or no one would even consider one. What a stupid statement. 😒
Thank you so much. It is highly informative. I have a hard time to activate the kick sensor for the trunk. I can only get it maybe 1 out of 4. Any tips?
Hey @track86! No worries. Here are the tips I know about: 1. Stand about an arm's length from the center of the back bumper so the sensor knows there is room for the door to open, if you need to be a little closer, step back after the kick. (If you have Parking Sensors, aim in between the two center sensors.) 2. Just do a quick kick and back, the sensor is really looking for the removal of your foot. (Make sure not to wave your foot side to side, just straight forward and back. No need to touch the under side of the bumper either. The sensor is looking down.) 3. Make sure the key fob is in range (so if you have it in a backpack, for example, it may have a harder time picking up the signal rather than in your pocket. Here's a fun little video I did about the Kick Sensor when it first came out: ua-cam.com/video/uL5iFN18QAk/v-deo.html Hope you find it helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
Northside Lexus thanks for your quick reply. Your tips work really well! I was always testing it in my garage which is has tight space. Taking the step back makes it work every time
Hola, tengo una Lexus Ux 2020 y no veo por ningún lado la opción de proyectar para Apple car play y otra duda, para plegar los retrovisores como se hace? Soy nuevo en este auto y tengo muchas dudas gracias
Hi. Thanks for watching. I'm sorry I'm not fluent in Spanish to reply back in Spanish. Hopefully it will translate ok for you. In the US, the 2020 UX comes standard with Apple CarPlay. Make sure to plug in with a data certified or genuine Apple cord to use CarPlay. The UX did not have power folding or auto folding side mirrors. (At least not on any that I saw at that time. It's possible that other regions have different equipment.).
Hi @Bruce! If you have the word "Auto" on the toggle above the mirror adjustments then you have Auto Folding Side Mirrors. If your vehicle looks like the one in the Mirror Adjustment section in the video, then it does not have power folding mirrors. We did not have any UXs with power mirrors at the time of filming. I hope this helps to answer your question. Thanks for watching.
Hi! It seems like the setting you are looking for are only accessed by a Technician a your Lexus dealership. They will need to connect their laptop to access the system and make any available customizations for you. The customizations available on the vehicle are in Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customize, but they are more limited than what you are asking about. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in with me.
Thanks so much, Mark. Congratulations on your UX200 F-Sport! I just recently learned how to create the Index for videos and am working adding them for all of the long video tutorials. Hopefully it will be there the next time you use this resource :) Thanks for hanging in there with me while keep learning how to best get this information out. (I think I need a team to help.) ;-P

I am very grateful and want to make sure to do the best I can with all of it, while doing my in person job at the dealership. Learning all the time. Keeps my brain young ;)
I know its a little late but thanks, I am in the process of moving out of my CTH 200 and the UX is high on the agenda. Is the price difference between the NX that much from the NX that it's a deal breaker I do like the extra size but would prefer extra kit in the UX
Hey Steven, I hear ya. It's a tough decision. I went with the NX for size, more of a base model. I have the power back door w/ kick sensor, but I don't have seat memory or NAV. I use Apple CarPlay all the time so the only thing I realy give up w/o NAV is the weather feature. Which is a cool feature, but wasn't worth the price jump for my budget. I love the UX style, but also wanted to be a little higher off the ground. I say make a pros and cons list. Drive them both back to back and see what the December to Remember Sales incentives are. Happy Shopping!
@@NorthsideLexus Cheers for that but a little problem I would love to use your dealership, but I live in Australia and the delivery charges would be crippling. Just love the content of your videos very helpful.
@@unknowntraveller8633 LOL! I meant come to the virtual classroom ;) No need for travel. We would love to have you here, but that would sure be a heck of a trip!
Hi does the heads up display work with Waze (or other nav apps) through Apple CarPlay / Android Auto?? Or is it only reserved for the built in nav? Great detailed video btw:)
Hi Fredisyoga! Apple CarPlay compatible apps only show on the main screen (NAV and Non-NAV). The HUD is linked to the native NAV only. But that is such a great idea for the future! So glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Hi Melissa!! I appreciate your segments. I'm a proud owner of a 2020 ux250h luxury and I have noticed I'm missing a few options on my infotainment system that your car had. Shouldn't I have all the options that you do? Thanks in advance!!
Hi Rui. The vehicles with native NAV have some different features in the infotainment system compared to the non-native NAV versions. What are you missing? I can check into it for you. Thanks so much for watching. :)

Hi Dmytro, Yes, the 2021 UX will be released later this year. Lexus doesn't seem to have announced a date yet, but usually they do fall releases unless it is a special release which would have been in the spring. So stay tuned :)
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't clear in my question. Some UXs have the wireless phone charger installed. Mine didn't come that way. My question is this: is it possible to get Lexus to install that wireless charger in my UX, which didn't come that way. Thanks.
Ahhh, I got ya. Unfortunately the Qi wireless charger is a factory installed item and can't be added as a retrofit. If it makes you feel any better at all, it is the slowest of the charging options. It is a trickle charge and will maintain your charge if you're using Bluetooth for phone or audio, but it isn't a big boost and you still have to plug in for Apple CarPaly or Android Auto and the USB will charge and operate the phone, apps, etc. Hope this helps. :)
Here you go: This shows where the button is located inside the vehicle if your UX is equipped with a Power Back Door: ua-cam.com/video/2Gy_sD6Yy_4/v-deo.html Here are some other sections of the video that may help: 3:27 Power Back Door 4:25 Customize Power Back Door 5:00 Manual Rear Door
@@PabloTheThinker Hi! I'm also only seeing cubic feet for the measurement. We currently don't have any UXs on site for me to look at, but if I can get my hands on one, I'll be happy to check it for you.
In the “navigation” tutorial, my Lexus doesn’t come with a “map” button on the top left hand side, only a “home” and “menu” button. How do I set up my navigation to be where I have the maps displayed? I can’t find any instructions or tutorials on how to set it up in my car.
Hi Sid. On a UX with a Home button, the navigation runs off of your compatible smart phone and the system will vary depending on what country you are in. In the US, the vehicle is compatible for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can also use the stand alone Waze app. When you have a vehicle that does not come with built in navigation, you can not add it after the fact to the system on the vehicle. Make sure to consult your Owner's Manual to see which navigation apps are compatible with your Lexus and follow the steps to connect your compatible phone to operate them. I hope this answers your question. of not, please let me know what phone, operating system and what app you're using. I'm happy to try to help. :)
Hi Dyanna, Do you have a rear door opener button to the right of your fuel door opener button? (This is for UXs with a power back door, with or without a Kick Sensor.) If you have a manual back door, then it only opens from the outside at the touch pad on the back door handle. Check the Owner's Manual for your vehicle: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM76449U/pdf/OM76449U.pdf I'm confirming the information starting on page 103, Section 3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors Hope this helps.
Is there a way to have the cruise control always active? It's the only car I have where I have to press two buttons every time I drive; one to turn it on then another to set the ACC. Everything else I can just press the ACC and it's set.
Hi Alain, Great question. Currently all of the Lexus and Toyota cruise control systems turn off when the car is turned off. Unfortunately that will mean two steps are required to turn it on and set the cruising speed. I'm not sure if the 2022 NX will operate differently, but will know soon. That will give us a clue if they are changing their standard versions. Thanks so much for tuning in with us!
Melissa I have a 2019 UX250H Luxury version. Is there a way to set the navigation screen so that it stays is day mode all the time? By the way you do an excellent job of illustrating how to use the Lexus technology.
Hi Richard! Thanks SO much! Yes, there is. It's a little tricky, but if you follow these steps it will work. AND...now I know what to do my next Tech Tip Tuesday video on ;-P Here's how: 1. Turn on the vehicle 2. Put the headlights in Auto 3. Trigger the headlights to come on automatically (do this inside a garage, or cover the sensor that is on the dash near the front windshield) When the headlights come on and night mode is triggered do the following: 5. Press Menu 6. Look for Display or Open Setup to locate Display 7. Now you should see "Day Mode" and you can select it to turn it on and keep it on That option is only visible when the lights have triggered Night Mode. I hope this makes sense. If not I'll have a video up by Tuesday for you ;) Thanks again!
Why doesn’t it have auto fold mirrors when locking in uk 250. It must cost more to stop wiring it to the loom. Mean, That tonneau cover must be the cheapest on the market🤣 A friend has had a 2019 uk250 h since new and did t know it had traffic aware cruise and only found the CD player today 🤣
Hi Richard, It is very strange the things they decide not to add in order to keep the base price lower. Auto folding mirrors are the perfect example of that. I wish we had them on every vehicle. Funny thing about the tonneau cover, I think it is more about the size (for storage) and the weight of the larger covers than cost, but I bet that is part of it too. The UX is one of the entry level vehicles in the lineup so the pricing is very sensitive. I'm glad you friend is learning more about their UX though. It is such a fun car to drive. Thanks for being here.
Anyone know if the 2019 model (Luxury or FSport) does it have sensors on the handle that recognize the driver and allow him to open and close the entire car? Same thing for the trunk, on the 2019 model does anyone know if it is automatic and can be opened with your feet? Thanks in advance
Hi! The UX has smart access sensors on the Driver's Door and the front Passenger Door. I'm not aware of a Kick Sensor at that time. You will need to check the specifications for what came on the vehicle to be sure of the equipment, since different regions have different features available. Thanks for checking in.
Hi, We just transported our 2021 UX250 from NJ to NC. All throughout the trip on the trailer we were receiving warning that the windows and doors were open. We received the car soaking wet and Lexus of Charlotte claims it looks like a flood vehicle. The transport company is claiming we opened the doors and windows from the app rather than them loading the vehicle onto the trailer after they themselves obviously opened the windows when loading the car. Would we even be able to open the windows through the app in this situation? Or would we be receiving warning signs that the windows were open while the car was not running, just as we did?
Hi Steven, I'm so sorry to hear about your vehicle. Here are some notes that may help you to determine what happened: - The Lexus app can not open or close windows or doors. - It can notify you of doors being open or unlocked and windows being open. The notifications will come when the car is off. - It can lock, unlock the doors and start the engine. - The key fob can be programmed to open the windows and moonroof. You would have to have a Technician check the system settings through a computer to see if that feature was enable for your vehicle and key fob, but that would also not open doors. But if it is programmed, it would fully open the windows and or moonroof. I hope they are able to help you get to the bottom of this soon. I hope the rest of your move goes well. All the best.
Hi @Ashok! Thanks for watching. The iPad can be used for audio content like music, pod casts, audio books, etc. Apple CarPlay is currently not available for the iPad and Bluetooth phone calls will not be compatible with the iPad either. If your UX came with AppleCarPlay, the best bet is to plug in for Apple CarPlay and use one of the navigation apps. It will show right on your screen: ua-cam.com/video/Yatf9H11jQM/v-deo.html Hope this helps :)
Hi @koiman23 dealerships aren't usually allowed to install after market devices. They can sometimes void your warranty. If you have something put in from a reputable installer make sure you aren't risking any warranty items. Hope this helps.
Hi again. I want to know how do you put the windshield wipers up on the Lexus UX? I’ve tried watching other videos but it does not seem to work for my UX.
So sorry for the delay. I'm in Texas in an area hit hard by a major winter storm and we had to close the dealership for a few days. Just getting back and catching up. Steps: Turn the car off, lift up on the wiper stalk and hold it for a few seconds in the Mist position. The wipers will move into service mode. Here's what I have for you from the Owner's Manual on LexusDrivers.com: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM76363U/pdf/OM76363U.pdf (Check page 174) When the windshield wipers are not being used, they retract to below the hood. To enable the windshield wipers to be lifted when parking in cold conditions or when replacing a windshield wiper insert, change the rest position of the windshield wipers to the service position using the wiper lever. ■ Raising the wipers to the service position Within approximately 45 seconds of turning the engine switch off, move the wiper lever to the (U.S.A.) or (Canada) position and hold it for approximately 2 seconds or more. The wipers will move to the service position. Again so sorry for the delay!
@@NorthsideLexus Thank you again for your reply. I’m so sorry to hear about the situation in Texas right now. My heart goes out to everyone out there. Please stay safe and keep warm!
Hi Paolo, Thanks for watching. Looking on at the packages on the Lexus website: www.lexus.com/models/UX/packages and the Luxury package includes the Power Back Door with Kick Sensor. The Premium package does not included it. So make sure you ask for the Luxury Package :) The UX is an awesome addition to the Lexus family! Enjoy it when you get it!
Is it normal for a UX to have a rough shift from 1st gear into 2nd/CVT? Only happens in Normal and Eco mode, not Sport. Dealership says it's normal but it's very rough.
Hi Justin, I haven't experienced it as rough, but I haven't driven the UX as much as some of the other models. One thing to consider is the Eco Mode, even more so than Normal Mode try to keep you from being heavy on the accelerator. It seems to want to slowly move you up to speed. I wonder if that has something to do with it? I'll check with a colleague who drives a UX and see if she has any other feed back. Another great resource is the Lexus Enthusiast website. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching :)
@@NorthsideLexus Thanks! I don't think it's related to Eco mode since it also happens in Normal mode. It's a pretty rough jolt when accelerating from a stop. Such a bummer since I love the car otherwise!
Wow. That sounds like a great combination. In the US if you have the Home button it is a non-NAV car and you use a map app through the phone for navigating to destinations. Like with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If the car has Lexus NAV, then it usually has a Map button.
@@djtiass Did you need any help with the features? Many of them are the same or similar across the globe. I'm happy to help if I can :) Thanks for tuning in.
Recalls can happen for so many reasons and it can, unfortunately happen to any manufacture. If you experience a recall, don't be discouraged. It means that they have discovered a potential issue and rather than wait for it to become a problem, they come up with a solution :)
Hey Pawel, The higher end models all come standard with Memory Seating. The entry level vehicles have more package options to give pricing flexibility. Its tough when the base model doesn't include everything, but it does make it possible for many more people get the car they are looking for and choose to save a bit on their payment. Hope this helps.
I long for the simple things push a button …radio on…turn the button left or right volume …another button AM or FM…push button radio off thank you for simple things.

Hi @Jayden. Pre Collision and Lane Assist is now standard on most Lexus vehicles. They are part of the Lexus Safety Systems and will be on F-Sport and non F-Sport vehicles. Hope this helps :)
Hi @@jayden8487 It could be that your area offers different equipment? Make sure to check the Lexus website for your area and look at the standard equipment for your vehicle. Another great resource is the lexusdrivers.com website. Look under Resources and put in your model and year.

The rav 4 has a nice cover that rolls into the bar that holds it. the lexus has some antiquated pos tent like complicated thing. I love toyota. theres no reason in my mind you wouldn't consider an hse or hyrbid rav 4 or venza that is made in japan over this. no reason at all. other than your self esteem is low and think your better than someone driving a L over a T. This vehicle is built on the some platform as some of Toyotas cheapest vehicles. also, the run flats are a joke, just trying to compete with other luxury brands, I dont get it. maybe for the hybrids if it eats trunk space, but other than that, it should get a spare. I truly wish they'd go back to the rav being a fuel efficient offroader like it was when it debuted
Hi Thedetails aredark ! Thanks for tuning in. I had an 08 RAV4 and loved it! The RX and NX are definitely more inline with the equipment level of the RAV. The UX is an entry level vehicle for Lexus and that may explain some the details that help keep the cost lower. Thanks again for watching.
Enform services like SOS and Remote are awesome. I'm not a big fan of the App Suite. I think it's on the way out with the introduction of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Thanks for watching :)
The video is nice but misleading in some parts, I have UX 200 2019 Navigation and doesn't have Apple carplay, I showed the dealership your videos and what about UX and the reply was completely denying any carplay possibility in UX 200 2019 , So Either Lexus is fooling their customers or just making fake videos about imaginary carplay, I am really upset because even the navigation is 2018 version and Dubai is very different than the map provided in UX which makes it completely useless, If you are in real tech specialist I think you should at least help me in that and that would be really appreciated.
Hi Michael, yes, I'm a Master Certified Lexus Technology Specialist. I have been for the past 8 years and have been with the Lexus brand for over 21 years. I try to make sure everything I teach is accurate for the vehicles that we have in the US. I'm not sure if the equipment is different where you live. It is possible that they are built differently in differently countries. Here's what I know about the UX and what you're asking: There was not a UX in 2018 so I'm not sure which vehicle you are comparing the navigation system to. The UX was introduced in the US as a 2019 model and Apple CarPlay was standard equipment. If you have access to the 2019 Owner's Manual you can find a lot of great information for Apple CarPlay. Here's a link: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/omnav-s/OM76384U/pdf/OM76384U.pdf. If you're looking at the date for the map data then a 2019 model would show a date of 2018. That would be when the mapping company produced the map data. The UX in the US has dynamic navigation available, that allows for a cloud connection for navigation when the signal is available. It is a subscription service and is not available in all areas. That might explain the difference in the map you are seeing. Again, I'm sorry if the vehicles I have access to are different from where you are.
At least in Europe, Apple Car Play and Android Auto weren't available on the 2019 UX, they are in the 2020 minor revision. I got my UX250h 3 weeks ago, but it still was a 2019 model, thus no CP/AA built-in. There were news spreading around about a possible software update coming for 2019 models, but the Covid thing seems to have slowed down the whole considerably. Latest informations I saw is that it may be available in July. It is supposed to be a free upgrade which has to be performed by your dealer, but this may change from country to country. Some other things are different in Europe, we get DAB+ instead of HD/SAT radio for example, thus a couple of things are different, anyways thx for the video, was very informative and more undestandable than the manual itself.
@@NorthsideLexus I am in Dubai, I have Lexus UX 2019, and in the manual came with the car have a chapter about Carplay but itself doesn't have it, I went to the local dealership and they said not possible until they get an update from the main manufacture which said may never happen, Now I have a car with a useless 10-inch screen (NO wifi function, NO Carplay, NO Apps, Outdated 2018 map and NO Dynamic navigation because of the cloud system ONLY for US) just camera and parking sensor and a Bluetooth that doesn't even show the playlist of music! Honestly, I really hate Lexus for such bad treatment as I paid the same amount of money like in US and got a car with no function, even seat heating in place with climate temperature above 45.0C (113 F).
@@michaelgerges3210 I'm sorry to hear that. Since I'm with a local dealership in Texas, I only have access to the vehicles that we have here. Best of luck with the vehicle you selected. It is a wonderful car. If you are disappointed with your purchase, I would recommend reaching out to the dealership where you bought it to get more information about potential future upgrades in your country. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.
I've had my UX250h for 4 years and have learned many new things here! So glad I discovered this channel, just perfect.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're here and very happy to help you enjoy your UX250h to the fullest!
Wow. This is such a good resource! I've just spent a frustrating 1.75 hours just sitting in my newly acquired UX250h Takumi, with the User Guide, trying to get to grips with the infotainment system. Hmmmm..... not good. Then I remembered this video (which I had found when researching my Lexus - but before I'd bought one). What a godsend this is! Clear, concise, well filmed, good narrative. And it covers so much more. It's going to be my bible. Should be standard issue with every car. Thanks Melissa - great job! (now, can we get you to do one in a UK model...? LOL)
Hi! Thanks so much for all of your support! Congratulations on your new UX! I sure wish I could hop "across the pod" and make a Lexus Deep Dive Tutorials - UK series LOL! Someone would have to teach me how to drive on the other side of the road! 🤣 I'm trying to get caught up on so many videos right now, but we have been crazy busy with guest tutorials after the holiday sales event. So many people learning all the cool things on their new Lexus🤓 Now to find time to film and edit all these amazing new cars! Thanks again for being here!

@@NorthsideLexus I think Lexus is a bit pricey but now I kinda know why and on my list of the next car. Your review is very detailed and it makes me tune in to the review and actually focus on the video.
@@PreludeSon That's so awesome! Luxury cars are definitely in a higher price range, but don't forget to look at the L-Certified pre-owned vehicles in your area. A lot of them are from leases, so they are well taken care of and generally have lower miles. They hold their value, so they won't be dirt cheap, but they will be high value for a good price. And the L-Certified warranty is really good also. Let me know if you have any questions about it when you get it :) Have an awesome weekend!

I am picking up my 2020 ux Lexus tomorrow. I am super excited. It is compact and cute. Definitely not a car for a soccer mom. A car for either a young and single person or a person with grown kids.
Update;I picked up my Lexus from the dealership. It is indeed everything I wanted in a luxury suv. I especially like that it is gas efficient.
So awesome! You will love it! My son is tall and we still haul around a lot of things for his activities (well before COVID, any way) so I am in the NX. I had planned on getting the UX, because I love how it drives. That will be what I get when he goes off to college. Maybe one for him and one for me! 🤣. Thanks so much for watching!
Excellent briefing. My wife ,who drives the car daily, would never watch it though!
Thanks so much for tuning in with me. Hopefully you will be able to share some of the tips with your wife so she can enjoy the UX more and more.💙

Should be on Lexus site
Thanks so much, Jazzy Best! So glad to have you here!
Very informative, thank you. I just bought a UX and the salesman just gave me the keys and walk away, should they have gone over at least some of this with me?
FGilan it’s very tricky right now because of precautions with the virus. Some dealerships are not permitting associate inside cars with Guests. Other are trying to minimize the amount of time. At our store we are trying to balance safety and service. We wear masks and gloves if we get into cars with Guests and still try to limit the amount of time and exposure.

How do I heat the windshield in freezing fog
Hi Colin, I would use the Front Defrost button and take advantage of the remote start feature in the Lexus app to precondition the UX before your drive. If you have a Windshield Wiper Deicer in your climate menu items, you can turn that on and it will time out on its own. We don't have a lot of vehicles with that feature in our area and it is not available on all models. Hope this helps. Thanks very much for being here.
Wish that this one has option with Mark Levinson sound system... too bad.
This is an awesome help for the new buyers. I bought 2020 Lexus UX 300e. I was told by my dealer that the vehicle do not have navigation and i need to plug in my iphone for directions. Also i got all the manuals in dutch which i cannot use and i could not still manage to get an english version. Could you please let me know how do i use the navigator option built in Lexus UX 300 e - 2020? Many thanks
Hi! If you have the Lexus factory NAV, then click on the Search Pin icon on the Map screen. If your UX is a non-NAV model, then you will need to plug in and connect for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The Connected NAV tile on the Home screen is for an app that is no longer supported. You can customize the Home Screen In the main Setup menu to hide that tile. That is always what I recommend. Thanks for checking in.
Hi there- hoping you can help with this: behind the drivers side to the right of seat track there is a small hole (usually it has a cover on it). Do you know where this hole leads and how I can access it without removing the seat? I lost an important earring down there. Thank you!!
Hi Alexandra, I'm so sorry to hear about your earing. I'm trying to see if I can get my hands on a UX to have a Tech look at this and tell me if there is another way to access it. We have very low UX inventory and don't seem to have one on site. I'll let you know if I can find something out for you.
@@NorthsideLexus thank you so much! Do you know which hole I am referring to? I don’t know why its there or what the purpose of it is, but it has the seat track cover there so I guess it’s supposed to be there. Please let me know if you are able to take a look and see if there’s another way to access it! Thank you so much again!
Does this vehicle have a block heater plug in??
Hi @mayar24. I am not aware of a block heater plug in accessory, but I am located in Houston, TX and we do not get a lot of cold weather packages or accessories. I would recommend reaching out to a Lexus Parts Department in your area to see if they can better assist. All the best!
Thanks for your post this video. Very helpful. Could you please let me know. What is difference between Lexus Ux F sport, and Luxury ? And the prices out of the door, please?
Hi Thuy, I'm not a sales person so I don't have pricing information. Are you shopping in Houston? I can have one of our Sales Team reach out to you.
I am deciding between the rx and ux... I really love the rx but probably can afford the ux more efficiently
Great choices. There is a big size difference between the two. Maybe look in the middle at the NX? If you're worried about the overall size or height of the vehicle. If you're looking for touch screen the RX is the way to go. All of them are great riding vehicles and have nice access for cargo. Pricing will definitely favor the UX and NX. Check for specials in your area as well :) Happy shopping!
Thank you for all your effort. So, Which usb do you plug in to activate apple carplay?
Hi! Thanks for your question. On the 2020 UX, under the arm rest you will see two USB ports with the Data symbol, either of those two USB-A ports will operate Apple CarPlay. 👍
Hello how are you I would like to know how to function the fun ventilation farm on the back where a passenger sitting I never make it work because I don't know where we can put it on
Hello how are you can you answer me, how I can make fun ventilation on the back of this car
Hi. I'm not sure what you mean by "fun ventilation in the back" of the car. There are AC vents that can be opened and closed and depending on your model you may need to turn S-Flow off from the front main climate control screen so that air flows in the entire cabin.
On the back of this car between two passengers, over to USB charger, There is a ventilation grill where the air does not come out. I don't know how to make it work. My version is Lexus UX luxury 250h e-four.
Thank you for such a informative video Melissa! I recently bought the UX 250h f sport model with premium package and still going through all the features. Dealership basically gave me the key and took my money lol. This had been so helpful. I do have a question that was not covered in the video. How do you set to have the mirrors retract when parked and locked?
Hi Jen! I'm so glad to be able to help. The mirrors will fold in if your UX has Auto Folding mirrors. Look for the word "Auto" on the toggle above the mirror adjustment. If that area is blank then the mirrors will not fold in with power, but they can be folded in manually. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Why would,this feature not be in the premium package. Basic Kia’s have it!
@@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit No one asked or cares what a basic Kia has. They also have the biggest rip off image. Fake rip off wanna be bmw interiors. Crappy clunky transmissions with crappy rattlely engines. No one gives a s*** what features any Kia has.
Kia has to add every feature to every model or no one would even consider one.
What a stupid statement. 😒
Thank you so much. It is highly informative. I have a hard time to activate the kick sensor for the trunk. I can only get it maybe 1 out of 4. Any tips?
Hey @track86! No worries. Here are the tips I know about:
1. Stand about an arm's length from the center of the back bumper so the sensor knows there is room for the door to open, if you need to be a little closer, step back after the kick. (If you have Parking Sensors, aim in between the two center sensors.)
2. Just do a quick kick and back, the sensor is really looking for the removal of your foot. (Make sure not to wave your foot side to side, just straight forward and back. No need to touch the under side of the bumper either. The sensor is looking down.)
3. Make sure the key fob is in range (so if you have it in a backpack, for example, it may have a harder time picking up the signal rather than in your pocket.
Here's a fun little video I did about the Kick Sensor when it first came out: ua-cam.com/video/uL5iFN18QAk/v-deo.html Hope you find it helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
Northside Lexus thanks for your quick reply. Your tips work really well! I was always testing it in my garage which is has tight space. Taking the step back makes it work every time

Hola, tengo una Lexus Ux 2020 y no veo por ningún lado la opción de proyectar para Apple car play y otra duda, para plegar los retrovisores como se hace? Soy nuevo en este auto y tengo muchas dudas gracias
Hi. Thanks for watching. I'm sorry I'm not fluent in Spanish to reply back in Spanish. Hopefully it will translate ok for you. In the US, the 2020 UX comes standard with Apple CarPlay. Make sure to plug in with a data certified or genuine Apple cord to use CarPlay. The UX did not have power folding or auto folding side mirrors. (At least not on any that I saw at that time. It's possible that other regions have different equipment.).
How do you get the side mirrors to fold automatically?
Hi @Bruce! If you have the word "Auto" on the toggle above the mirror adjustments then you have Auto Folding Side Mirrors. If your vehicle looks like the one in the Mirror Adjustment section in the video, then it does not have power folding mirrors. We did not have any UXs with power mirrors at the time of filming. I hope this helps to answer your question. Thanks for watching.
How would I increase the volume on the warning sounds, like over the line beeps, blinker beeps in this vehicle?
Hi! It seems like the setting you are looking for are only accessed by a Technician a your Lexus dealership. They will need to connect their laptop to access the system and make any available customizations for you. The customizations available on the vehicle are in Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customize, but they are more limited than what you are asking about. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in with me.
Just bought a 2020 UX200 F-Sport, and find this video helpful if I need an answer. It would be nice if you have the index posted for quick lookup.

I know its a little late but thanks, I am in the process of moving out of my CTH 200 and the UX is high on the agenda. Is the price difference between the NX that much from the NX that it's a deal breaker I do like the extra size but would prefer extra kit in the UX
Hey Steven, I hear ya. It's a tough decision. I went with the NX for size, more of a base model. I have the power back door w/ kick sensor, but I don't have seat memory or NAV. I use Apple CarPlay all the time so the only thing I realy give up w/o NAV is the weather feature. Which is a cool feature, but wasn't worth the price jump for my budget. I love the UX style, but also wanted to be a little higher off the ground. I say make a pros and cons list. Drive them both back to back and see what the December to Remember Sales incentives are. Happy Shopping!

Hi does the heads up display work with Waze (or other nav apps) through Apple CarPlay / Android Auto?? Or is it only reserved for the built in nav? Great detailed video btw:)
Hi Fredisyoga! Apple CarPlay compatible apps only show on the main screen (NAV and Non-NAV). The HUD is linked to the native NAV only. But that is such a great idea for the future! So glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
I don't believe my 2019 UX 250h is equipped with navigation feature. How can I confirm this? A bit disappointed :/

Is there going to be a 2021 UX? If so when should we except it to come out?
Hi Dmytro, Yes, the 2021 UX will be released later this year. Lexus doesn't seem to have announced a date yet, but usually they do fall releases unless it is a special release which would have been in the spring. So stay tuned :)
@@NorthsideLexus Awesome! Thank you
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't clear in my question. Some UXs have the wireless phone charger installed. Mine didn't come that way. My question is this: is it possible to get Lexus to install that wireless charger in my UX, which didn't come that way. Thanks.
Ahhh, I got ya. Unfortunately the Qi wireless charger is a factory installed item and can't be added as a retrofit. If it makes you feel any better at all, it is the slowest of the charging options. It is a trickle charge and will maintain your charge if you're using Bluetooth for phone or audio, but it isn't a big boost and you still have to plug in for Apple CarPaly or Android Auto and the USB will charge and operate the phone, apps, etc. Hope this helps. :)
Hi.
How do you open the tailgate of the UX from inside the vehicle? thanks
Here you go:

Check at 17:22 in the video. The button is by the Fuel Door button and above the release for the hood. Thanks for watching.
In the “navigation” tutorial, my Lexus doesn’t come with a “map” button on the top left hand side, only a “home” and “menu” button. How do I set up my navigation to be where I have the maps displayed? I can’t find any instructions or tutorials on how to set it up in my car.
Hi Sid. On a UX with a Home button, the navigation runs off of your compatible smart phone and the system will vary depending on what country you are in. In the US, the vehicle is compatible for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can also use the stand alone Waze app. When you have a vehicle that does not come with built in navigation, you can not add it after the fact to the system on the vehicle. Make sure to consult your Owner's Manual to see which navigation apps are compatible with your Lexus and follow the steps to connect your compatible phone to operate them. I hope this answers your question. of not, please let me know what phone, operating system and what app you're using. I'm happy to try to help. :)
Hi I have trouble opening the car trunk . My UX200 doesn’t have kick sensor so I don’t know how to open the trunk while sitting in the car .
Hi Dyanna, Do you have a rear door opener button to the right of your fuel door opener button? (This is for UXs with a power back door, with or without a Kick Sensor.) If you have a manual back door, then it only opens from the outside at the touch pad on the back door handle. Check the Owner's Manual for your vehicle: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM76449U/pdf/OM76449U.pdf
I'm confirming the information starting on page 103, Section 3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Hope this helps.
Is there a way to have the cruise control always active? It's the only car I have where I have to press two buttons every time I drive; one to turn it on then another to set the ACC. Everything else I can just press the ACC and it's set.
Hi Alain, Great question. Currently all of the Lexus and Toyota cruise control systems turn off when the car is turned off. Unfortunately that will mean two steps are required to turn it on and set the cruising speed. I'm not sure if the 2022 NX will operate differently, but will know soon. That will give us a clue if they are changing their standard versions. Thanks so much for tuning in with us!
Melissa I have a 2019 UX250H Luxury version. Is there a way to set the navigation screen so that it stays is day mode all the time? By the way you do an excellent job of illustrating how to use the Lexus technology.
Hi Richard! Thanks SO much! Yes, there is. It's a little tricky, but if you follow these steps it will work. AND...now I know what to do my next Tech Tip Tuesday video on ;-P Here's how:
1. Turn on the vehicle
2. Put the headlights in Auto
3. Trigger the headlights to come on automatically (do this inside a garage, or cover the sensor that is on the dash near the front windshield)
When the headlights come on and night mode is triggered do the following:
5. Press Menu
6. Look for Display or Open Setup to locate Display
7. Now you should see "Day Mode" and you can select it to turn it on and keep it on
That option is only visible when the lights have triggered Night Mode.
I hope this makes sense. If not I'll have a video up by Tuesday for you ;) Thanks again!
@@NorthsideLexus Thanks Melissa you are fantastic. I will try it tonight.
Why doesn’t it have auto fold mirrors when locking in uk 250. It must cost more to stop wiring it to the loom. Mean,
That tonneau cover must be the cheapest on the market🤣
A friend has had a 2019 uk250 h since new and did t know it had traffic aware cruise and only found the CD player today 🤣
Hi Richard, It is very strange the things they decide not to add in order to keep the base price lower. Auto folding mirrors are the perfect example of that. I wish we had them on every vehicle. Funny thing about the tonneau cover, I think it is more about the size (for storage) and the weight of the larger covers than cost, but I bet that is part of it too. The UX is one of the entry level vehicles in the lineup so the pricing is very sensitive. I'm glad you friend is learning more about their UX though. It is such a fun car to drive. Thanks for being here.
Anyone know if the 2019 model (Luxury or FSport) does it have sensors on the handle that recognize the driver and allow him to open and close the entire car? Same thing for the trunk, on the 2019 model does anyone know if it is automatic and can be opened with your feet? Thanks in advance
Hi! The UX has smart access sensors on the Driver's Door and the front Passenger Door. I'm not aware of a Kick Sensor at that time. You will need to check the specifications for what came on the vehicle to be sure of the equipment, since different regions have different features available. Thanks for checking in.
Thanks a lot, appreciate it
Hi,
We just transported our 2021 UX250 from NJ to NC. All throughout the trip on the trailer we were receiving warning that the windows and doors were open. We received the car soaking wet and Lexus of Charlotte claims it looks like a flood vehicle. The transport company is claiming we opened the doors and windows from the app rather than them loading the vehicle onto the trailer after they themselves obviously opened the windows when loading the car. Would we even be able to open the windows through the app in this situation? Or would we be receiving warning signs that the windows were open while the car was not running, just as we did?
Hi Steven, I'm so sorry to hear about your vehicle. Here are some notes that may help you to determine what happened:
- The Lexus app can not open or close windows or doors.
- It can notify you of doors being open or unlocked and windows being open. The notifications will come when the car is off.
- It can lock, unlock the doors and start the engine.
- The key fob can be programmed to open the windows and moonroof. You would have to have a Technician check the system settings through a computer to see if that feature was enable for your vehicle and key fob, but that would also not open doors. But if it is programmed, it would fully open the windows and or moonroof.
I hope they are able to help you get to the bottom of this soon. I hope the rest of your move goes well. All the best.
My UX 250h does not have Navigation, can I also connect my IPad to UX250 and use it rather than my IPhone?
Hi @Ashok! Thanks for watching. The iPad can be used for audio content like music, pod casts, audio books, etc. Apple CarPlay is currently not available for the iPad and Bluetooth phone calls will not be compatible with the iPad either. If your UX came with AppleCarPlay, the best bet is to plug in for Apple CarPlay and use one of the navigation apps. It will show right on your screen: ua-cam.com/video/Yatf9H11jQM/v-deo.html Hope this helps :)
Can I get an aftermarket wireless iphone charger installed?
Hi @koiman23 dealerships aren't usually allowed to install after market devices. They can sometimes void your warranty. If you have something put in from a reputable installer make sure you aren't risking any warranty items. Hope this helps.
Hi again. I want to know how do you put the windshield wipers up on the Lexus UX? I’ve tried watching other videos but it does not seem to work for my UX.
So sorry for the delay. I'm in Texas in an area hit hard by a major winter storm and we had to close the dealership for a few days. Just getting back and catching up.
Steps: Turn the car off, lift up on the wiper stalk and hold it for a few seconds in the Mist position. The wipers will move into service mode.
Here's what I have for you from the Owner's Manual on LexusDrivers.com: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM76363U/pdf/OM76363U.pdf (Check page 174)
When the windshield wipers are not being used, they retract to below the hood. To enable the windshield wipers
to be lifted when parking in cold conditions or when replacing a windshield wiper insert, change the rest position of the windshield wipers to the service position using the wiper lever.
■ Raising the wipers to the service position Within approximately 45 seconds of turning the engine switch off, move the wiper lever to the (U.S.A.) or (Canada) position and hold it for approximately 2 seconds or more. The wipers will move to the service position.
Again so sorry for the delay!
@@NorthsideLexus Thank you again for your reply. I’m so sorry to hear about the situation in Texas right now. My heart goes out to everyone out there. Please stay safe and keep warm!
Hi, thank you for the video! Is the 250h premium version equipped with a powered backdoor? What this the version seen in this video? Thanks!
Hi Paolo, Thanks for watching. Looking on at the packages on the Lexus website: www.lexus.com/models/UX/packages and the Luxury package includes the Power Back Door with Kick Sensor. The Premium package does not included it. So make sure you ask for the Luxury Package :) The UX is an awesome addition to the Lexus family! Enjoy it when you get it!
Is it normal for a UX to have a rough shift from 1st gear into 2nd/CVT? Only happens in Normal and Eco mode, not Sport. Dealership says it's normal but it's very rough.
Hi Justin, I haven't experienced it as rough, but I haven't driven the UX as much as some of the other models. One thing to consider is the Eco Mode, even more so than Normal Mode try to keep you from being heavy on the accelerator. It seems to want to slowly move you up to speed. I wonder if that has something to do with it? I'll check with a colleague who drives a UX and see if she has any other feed back. Another great resource is the Lexus Enthusiast website. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching :)
@@NorthsideLexus Thanks! I don't think it's related to Eco mode since it also happens in Normal mode. It's a pretty rough jolt when accelerating from a stop. Such a bummer since I love the car otherwise!
One question, here in Germany i have Home button, but i have Navigation also, i can put adress and i can drive.
Wow. That sounds like a great combination. In the US if you have the Home button it is a non-NAV car and you use a map app through the phone for navigating to destinations. Like with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If the car has Lexus NAV, then it usually has a Map button.
@@NorthsideLexus i understand, thank you!
@@djtiass Did you need any help with the features? Many of them are the same or similar across the globe. I'm happy to help if I can :) Thanks for tuning in.
@@NorthsideLexus thank you, first i need to take my UX 200 next week.
NISSAN'S RECALLS, SUBARU'S RECALLS, TOYOTA'S RECALLED,LEXUS UX NOT RECALL
Recalls can happen for so many reasons and it can, unfortunately happen to any manufacture. If you experience a recall, don't be discouraged. It means that they have discovered a potential issue and rather than wait for it to become a problem, they come up with a solution :)
No standard memory seats lexus sucks cut corners everywhere 😕
Hey Pawel, The higher end models all come standard with Memory Seating. The entry level vehicles have more package options to give pricing flexibility. Its tough when the base model doesn't include everything, but it does make it possible for many more people get the car they are looking for and choose to save a bit on their payment. Hope this helps.
I long for the simple things push a button …radio on…turn the button left or right volume …another button AM or FM…push button radio off thank you for simple things.
Thanks for sharing and for tuning in. The technology on cars seems to be getting more and more complex, hopefully I can help make it a bit easier to understand and use. Thanks again for being here!
Hi I would like to ask that is it only f sport versions has pre collision system and lane assist?
Hi @Jayden. Pre Collision and Lane Assist is now standard on most Lexus vehicles. They are part of the Lexus Safety Systems and will be on F-Sport and non F-Sport vehicles. Hope this helps :)
@@NorthsideLexus ah thank you so much because my Lexus ux200 isn’t f sport but doesn’t have the pre collision syesten
Hi @@jayden8487 It could be that your area offers different equipment? Make sure to check the Lexus website for your area and look at the standard equipment for your vehicle. Another great resource is the lexusdrivers.com website. Look under Resources and put in your model and year. Keep in mind the Owner's Manual and vehicles I have access to are built for the Southern US market. Hope this helps :)
@@NorthsideLexus ok thank you
Спасибо из России!
Glad to help!
What package is this?
Hi Antony. I was in two different UXs, but I believe they were both F-Sport packages. Hope this helps. :)
I get how you get the money look at all those ads
We're new to the ads and UA-cam seems to really pile them on in the long videos. They should have the skip function turned on. Hopefully that will help. Thanks for the feedback.
Wireless Apple Carplay?
Right now Lexus isn't offering wireless Apple CarPlay. Thanks for watching.
@@NorthsideLexus That's disappointing especially it's now an option on much cheaper cars such as Hyundai.
I hear you. I wish it was an option at least. I like that my phone charges while I use it, so I've gotten used to plugging it in. Fingers crossed that it will happen one day :)
The rav 4 has a nice cover that rolls into the bar that holds it. the lexus has some antiquated pos tent like complicated thing. I love toyota. theres no reason in my mind you wouldn't consider an hse or hyrbid rav 4 or venza that is made in japan over this. no reason at all. other than your self esteem is low and think your better than someone driving a L over a T. This vehicle is built on the some platform as some of Toyotas cheapest vehicles. also, the run flats are a joke, just trying to compete with other luxury brands, I dont get it. maybe for the hybrids if it eats trunk space, but other than that, it should get a spare. I truly wish they'd go back to the rav being a fuel efficient offroader like it was when it debuted
None the less, great video.
Hi Thedetails aredark ! Thanks for tuning in. I had an 08 RAV4 and loved it! The RX and NX are definitely more inline with the equipment level of the RAV. The UX is an entry level vehicle for Lexus and that may explain some the details that help keep the cost lower. Thanks again for watching.
the lexus entune infotainment is so underwhelming .................
Enform services like SOS and Remote are awesome. I'm not a big fan of the App Suite. I think it's on the way out with the introduction of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Thanks for watching :)
The video is nice but misleading in some parts, I have UX 200 2019 Navigation and doesn't have Apple carplay, I showed the dealership your videos and what about UX and the reply was completely denying any carplay possibility in UX 200 2019 , So Either Lexus is fooling their customers or just making fake videos about imaginary carplay, I am really upset because even the navigation is 2018 version and Dubai is very different than the map provided in UX which makes it completely useless, If you are in real tech specialist I think you should at least help me in that and that would be really appreciated.
Hi Michael, yes, I'm a Master Certified Lexus Technology Specialist. I have been for the past 8 years and have been with the Lexus brand for over 21 years. I try to make sure everything I teach is accurate for the vehicles that we have in the US. I'm not sure if the equipment is different where you live. It is possible that they are built differently in differently countries. Here's what I know about the UX and what you're asking: There was not a UX in 2018 so I'm not sure which vehicle you are comparing the navigation system to. The UX was introduced in the US as a 2019 model and Apple CarPlay was standard equipment. If you have access to the 2019 Owner's Manual you can find a lot of great information for Apple CarPlay. Here's a link: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/omnav-s/OM76384U/pdf/OM76384U.pdf. If you're looking at the date for the map data then a 2019 model would show a date of 2018. That would be when the mapping company produced the map data. The UX in the US has dynamic navigation available, that allows for a cloud connection for navigation when the signal is available. It is a subscription service and is not available in all areas. That might explain the difference in the map you are seeing. Again, I'm sorry if the vehicles I have access to are different from where you are.
At least in Europe, Apple Car Play and Android Auto weren't available on the 2019 UX, they are in the 2020 minor revision. I got my UX250h 3 weeks ago, but it still was a 2019 model, thus no CP/AA built-in. There were news spreading around about a possible software update coming for 2019 models, but the Covid thing seems to have slowed down the whole considerably. Latest informations I saw is that it may be available in July. It is supposed to be a free upgrade which has to be performed by your dealer, but this may change from country to country.
Some other things are different in Europe, we get DAB+ instead of HD/SAT radio for example, thus a couple of things are different, anyways thx for the video, was very informative and more undestandable than the manual itself.
@@NorthsideLexus I am in Dubai, I have Lexus UX 2019, and in the manual came with the car have a chapter about Carplay but itself doesn't have it, I went to the local dealership and they said not possible until they get an update from the main manufacture which said may never happen, Now I have a car with a useless 10-inch screen (NO wifi function, NO Carplay, NO Apps, Outdated 2018 map and NO Dynamic navigation because of the cloud system ONLY for US) just camera and parking sensor and a Bluetooth that doesn't even show the playlist of music! Honestly, I really hate Lexus for such bad treatment as I paid the same amount of money like in US and got a car with no function, even seat heating in place with climate temperature above 45.0C (113 F).
@@andreasolari5625 Thanks so much for watching and for the information about how the vehicles are setup in other countries. Very cool info!
@@michaelgerges3210 I'm sorry to hear that. Since I'm with a local dealership in Texas, I only have access to the vehicles that we have here. Best of luck with the vehicle you selected. It is a wonderful car. If you are disappointed with your purchase, I would recommend reaching out to the dealership where you bought it to get more information about potential future upgrades in your country. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.
Thank you
Happy to help! Thanks so much for tuning in with me!
Thanks so much!
