What is a "profile issue"?
The new system is suppose to be able to automatically link a driver profile with the drivers bluetooth enable device the minute they enter the cabin. TFL reporting that the system defaults to guest driver rather then their own profile. This could be an operator error but I did remember the press release indicating driver profiles were a new thing with this system and seamlessly hands over from device to vehicle.
Have you tested the safe exit function (or whatever it's called). How sensitive is it?
One thing that may be hard to test is how well the AWD system hold up on steep hill climb. Usually a Haldex-style AWD system like this will have a burning smell coming from the rear axle when climbing a steep gradient (>10% for over 1000 meters/3300 feet) because the clutch pack is overheating.

Have you used the remote parking function through your phone yet? I don't know if you said you have that feature or not.

Because you need to go into the settings and link the desired profile to the key fob you have with you.

Only available on hybrid models, is what I was told.

If you can, go see these in person at a dealer. I am somehow way happier with this thing than I expected…
It also is very sharp. The grill is actually slightly forward leaning, not totally vertical, very slight it seems but the front end is very shark nosed.

The other day, from about 30 yards or so away, I saw a '22 NX parked next to a new RX. The NX was in the background and the RX in the foreground. Both vehicles were pointing frontwards and I was at about a 30 or so degree angle viewpoint. The NX looked almost the same size as the RX. There wasn't the noticeable difference between the two of them with the old NX. I'm sure the new 20" tires on the NX played a part in it. But you're right about the grille angle especially when you see it next to something with an older design grille.

He literally skipped right past the little link key button that would address this issue.
or they’re keeping multiple fobs with them when in the car
now when I hop in with my main fob it gets connected right away
remote climate seems a bit wonky, but then again it’s been brutally cold lately
for some reason I can’t get the seat and steering wheel warmers to be on when remote starting.

Here in the US, a different set of tires, wheels and a bumper chop turn GXs and LXs into trail-ready rigs that are showing up more and more. Lexus has a lot of momentum in the off road scene, but only with the BOF products.
Thats the recipe for success....cringy. Honda has their trailsport moniker CUVs, Toyota has the Rav4 TRD (highlander TRD would not surprise me), and now Lexus with this body kit. Lexus marketing and product planning love attracting this demographic as they are likely to buy into this regardless of actual capability.

To be fair I can see people offroading a Rav4 in the same vein they do Crosstreks.. but NX.. I don't see anyone offroading that. I recall Audi and BMW both tried to market off-road kits for Q5/Q7/X3/X5 but those didn't really take off. I believe they've both stopped offering the offroad packages.
