This is a really useful update. I often look to switch and it’s a number of screen taps - this makes it so much easier. Now the big question; When’s it coming?
@lsft7 ай бұрын
Seems like some vehicles have it installed. I really hope soon.

I bought a 2024 NX last week and it already has that expanding feature. I honestly thought it was just the way it came for everyone. It’s been very useful. I actually have very rarely expanded car play to full screen.

Great to see you have it already. What version is the software? We currently have 2050.

Same version, do you experience my issue with the blind spot? Using remote connect?

@@victorssanchez6362 what issue you have with blind spot
@victorssanchez63627 ай бұрын
When driving blind spot won’t work. Quick solution was to go to the menu and toggle blind spot and then works. If I turn on the car normally it works fine

I don't think I've seen this issue. I'll check next time I remote start.

I think the update in regard to the bank of icons being left on screen is better and offers improved functionality.

Android has to go through the same steps.... was just typing this as you mentioned it at 7:00. Lol. An invisible home button in a corner would be nice. When the free Nav goes away, I'll eventually just live in android until the occasional settings adjustment or when I need OTA radio.

If you live in Android Auto then this won't be a problem
@grahammccarthy18937 ай бұрын
Android Auto does seem to be Carplay's poor relation at Toyota/Lexus doesn't it? Here in the UK we'd probably just settle for having wireless Android Auto. We were promised it as an OTA back when we bought our cars in 2022 but there's no sign of it and dealers have stopped mentioning it now.
@lsft7 ай бұрын
The wireless is mostly licensing issues between Toyota and Google. I think Toyota did an analysis that there are more iPhone users who drive a Lexus over Android users. But definitely that depends on country and region. I do feel that iPhone generally do work better with the system over Android devices. I think the focus should be equal, but some could also be SDK with CarPlay and Android Auto.
@victorssanchez63627 ай бұрын
Those are great news but how about the bugs? I was at the dealer couple weeks ago because my left mirror blind spot wasn't working when I turn on the car remotely, any of you has the same issue? Also they replaced the wireless charger because my android and iphone stops charging, after replacement same issue. The tech mentioned that maybe is the controller (infotainment system) but it cost around $22000 dlls (american) and maybe is not going to be approve, but anyway I hope they fix the bugs.
@lsft7 ай бұрын
Typically with an update they do fix bugs as well. Just not as frequent as we like.
@Thulebeez7 ай бұрын
I think its good that Lexus is starting to acknoledge that infotainment screen needs to be improved and more user friendly. My suggest for OTA update is that the white side bar for the menu should have the ability to slide and hide left thefore allowing for more real estate of the screen. Especially for 3rd party apps e.g. a better route planner for EV charging routing.

I have seen a demo of it and the size menu bar could be hidden.

I hope we can turn this feature off; if I'm ever in the Toyota interface it usually means something has gone wrong (aka I never use it). More power to those that want it though.
@lsft7 ай бұрын
Looks like you can expand it all the way. Hope it remembers the last time you used it
@robertd..177 ай бұрын
This is a much better way to go between the two interfaces. I hope it works as advertised.

Okay, I'll let you know what [ I ] think. I think the Lexus (specifically the one we own - the NX350b) is THE MOST OVERLY COMPLICATED, OBFUSCATED COMPLEX thing ever invented!!!! To know and to know how to access all the convoluted settings, controls, functions, etc on this car one needs to take a 4 year college course! (And the USER'S MANUALS - all 1000 pages is USELESS. The manuals tell you "what is available"...........but no where in any of the manuals do they tell the owner/driver HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE/or ACCESS all these do-dads and gimmicks!!). Doesn't ANYONE know how to drive and operate an automobile anymore..........like when to use the brake..........when to change lanes "safely"..........how to use rear view mirrors?
@lsft7 ай бұрын
Thanks for your feedback. I don't think this system is overly complicated. But you are right that the manual is big and could be outdated since they have updated the system already and they won't print you a new version. Complex or not is definitely subjective. There are definitely ways to improve and reduce complexity.
