Never thought I would spend over an hour watching a car tutorial, but as a new nx 350 owner, here I am. I honestly can't think you enough for the time and effort you put into this video. There is a part in the video where you asked if our mind is blown about the seat memory features, but frankly my mind is blown from the quality of this tutorial. Thank you so much for this, actually excited to watch part 2!

[chriswilliams]

What an extraordinary channel! Northside Lexus, and Melissa, deserve big kudos for putting so much time into researching and making such in depth and clear videos. I hope and trust that Lexus will notice the efforts put into this and find a suitable reward for your business. I give my personal thanks as a prospective NX owner in the UK.

[paulfield]

used to have to wade through PAGES of instructions now we have clear easy to follow visual instructions....well done Lexus👍👍

[jimreilly]

I cannot thank you enough for creating this instruction series. I just spent 10 minutes using the manual trying to figure out why my rear interior light was not turning on. Then I spent maybe a minute with your excellent video and its references and learned how to fix this issue. I've used your video manual several times and ALWAYS with success. You are the QUEEN of Lexus instructors.

[johnnaylor]

Both videos are probably the best I have found, & as a prospective Christmas NX owner I will watch both again, probably more, as they are so well illustrated with the actions you need to carry out to perform the procedure. The scriptwriter / producer editor need a special mention too. All in all a really well made guide to the LexusNX

I agree with others that Lexus could use these videos on their website & perhaps could reward you accordingly 😀
Of course presentation by Melissa was clear, & concise in every detail. It’s not often I watch a video of an hour & a half that’s so interesting to watch & well made.
Thankyou
(Half way through Part 2 Now)

[Inhumase]

I ordered a new Lexus NX and I can't wait. I've watched about 50 reviews on this car until I found this tutorial. I can't thank you enough how useful this video is for people who have never had a Lexus before. I learned all the nuances about my car before I even got it home. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your dedication to this tutorial.

[mrschloesings]

I took delivery of my 350h yesterday and binged both Parts of your tutorial. Thank you for the superbly well done videos. Much better than reading the manual and more information than my local sales team had available . Great first experience with Lexus! Thank you again.

[NXhFSport]

2010 Chevy Suburban to 2024 Lexus NX 450h+ F-Sport these videos helped out a great deal. The car is incredible. I went from July 28th to late September without putting any additional fuel! Just plug it in ⚡️ you get the best of both with the 450h+. The F-sport seats are very comfortable. Thank you

[SG-isvn]

An amazing and informative tutorial for the NX line. A lot easier than reading the manuals that come with the NX. My first Lexis and could not be happier. Well done..

[ajurban]

We just bought a NX 350h. This video is a great service and help for new owners. Thank you.

[maggiemae]

Thank-you Melissa and Team for putting together this excellent video tutorial. I never thought I would understand what all these buttons are for and frankly it made me nervous driving in case I pushed something accidently while driving not recalling what the indicator was for.

[sKennedy]

Wow this is such an amazing idea and so helpful. As a brand new Lexus owner coming from a very old car this is very informative, thank you for taking the time to go through all this!

[maureenberkovich]

Thank you, Melissa. This video is incredible! You spoke crisp, clear and slow enough to comprehend the information on the 350h. Gas economy is amazing!

[LoudWritr]

Thank you! What an enormous help this video tutorial has been!! I just purchased a 2025 NX 350h, and even though this tutorial focuses on slightly earlier models, everything applies to my car (so far). Very much appreciated.

[peteperez]

Thank you very much! I just purchased the 350h model overseas in Spain and I'll be receiving it in two weeks time. Looking forward to part 2 and can't wait to be behind the wheel of my first Lexus.

[tbartman]

OMG this was SO HELPFUL. I've had my car a few days, and read the manual twice, but I learned so much and you are a great teacher. Lexus Corporate should just put a link to these on their main website (and pay you extra for doing this for them!) Now I'm moving on to part 2 🙂

[a.nonamouse]

So thorough, and endlessly helpful. This video should come with all these cars. Thank you a million times!

[TechJunky]

Incredibly helpful video! So much to learn. I feel like I’m back at school but in a good way. Today it’s part 1 and tomorrow I’ll do part 2. 😎

[chrisjohn]

I have had a Lexus NX350 for almost a year now and had terrible problems connecting to Apple Car play. Sometimes it would connect, at other times inexplicably would not. Took it back to the dealership a number of times but they were unable to solve the problem.
I finally solved it myself. I had to ensure that I had cleared all my open apps on the phone before entering the car. It has connected perfectly every time since then. Now a very happy camper!

[matthewchau]

Test drove an NX today and
I def. got overwhelmed with all the buttons and features in the car. This video was very helpful. Getting my own NX very soon. Thank you thank you!
