The app is just as slow on the Lexus as it is on the Jeep.

The remote start is accessible from the key, but the process is not as smooth or sure fire as it is on the Jeep.

The phone app is slow but it has great range. Yesterday (104 degrees) I started the engine while waiting for my check in the restaurant. By the time I got to the car it was cool. Maybe the next software update will get better.

Some of the reviewers didn't like the graphics on the Nav screen, The more I drive the car, the better I like the display. It may not be the latest tech, but it is clear and easy to read.

I guess I'm going to have to take the voice training, as I'm having limited success with the voice commands. Although I have made phone calls and operated the radio with voice command, the Nav doesn't understand me.

Do you have an iPhone? If so use Siri Eyes Free to make phone calls, and use destination assist to enter destinations. Both work way better than the voice commands.
