so how does having multiple drivers work now? I see previous threads where people complain about issues with the app, or key not saving seat/infotainment settings?

my wife and i have iphones, the car will technically be hers, is she the only one who can have the app installed and logged in? What happens when i drive while she sits in the car?

 

The easiest way to select profiles is to tie them to the key fob. When Drivers door is unlocked by a key fob, it will load the profile associated with that fob and also connect the phones linked to that profile to the car.

You could also do profile selection by phones, but I find that to be glitchy and not reliable.

The issue I have is that if either of you don't lock the car and the profile is changed, the linked seat sellings are messed up.

The car will save the last seat setting on that profile when the car is locked. Automatically.

Also, only 1 person can have the app with controls. Lexus does not allow household with multiple drivers to have individual vehicle controls through app with their profiles loaded in the app. This has been as issue since 2022 and still unresolved........

 

Thanks that clears things up a lot.
so we should use our fobs as the primary identifier really, make sure we lock the doors when we exit, and whoever unlocks the doors next their profile will load?

and treat the app as a convenience thing for one person only, don’t rely on it for identity.

does that also mean we really can only have one digital key? Or is that separate from the app login issues?

 

Correct. On Digital Key, Lexus says 7. I have only been successful on installing digital keys on 3 profiles (Primary + 2 other drivers). Digital keys work for the most part.

Other drivers will not have access to see the cars location, set their navigation destinations and favorites, but I think they now can remote start the car. I have to check the latest update. At one point remote start was also not available.

 

Thanks toyotaman and everyone who's been answering all my questions lately.

We've just brought home a 2023 NX 350h in Atomic Silver. Got the two key fobs linked to separate driver profiles, set wife up as primary and she's granted me guest access via the app to allow me to do remote start/climate control etc. The key fob set up and linking seat position/radio/car settings is linked to the fob, and the remote start is managed through the app. You can't add secondary drivers to the car directly, has to be done through the primary driver's app, but once it's done I have access to everything except location and purchasing subscriptions.

It's our first Lexus, we're very excited =)

 

Actually.....I just found out that secondary driver thing IS still as you said. Even though it says "share" remote start control with guest driver, it's really "pass control to guest until you revoke it". The primary driver loses remote control until you revoke it. Which is really not "sharing" lol.
