A few issues with 2016 Nav/Audio system
Hi all,
I wanted to see whether other people are having similar issues to me with their 2016 Navigation / Audio systems.
First, when there are multiple screens of selections, such as a folder with more than 5 eDestinations or a folder with more than 5 Slacker Radio channels, often I can only select from the options on the first screen. It is not possible to use the up and down arrows on the right of the screen and cannot use the up and down buttons near the remote touch ****. This was pretty frustrating recently when I programmed 6 eDestination locations, but couldn't select the one I wanted because it was on the second screen. The arrows and buttons work fine probably more than 50% of the time.
Second, sometimes my Samsung Galaxy S7 does not seem to establish communication correctly with the ES 350. This seems to be more a problem on the phone side because I cannot seem to resolve it without either rebooting the phone or sometimes starting the Lexus App Suite application on the phone, pressing disconnect, and then restarting the audio system in the car.
Third, is there a way to send texts using Android in the ES350? It would be great if there was some integration with the Google Now application for Android, similar to the Siri integration on the Apple phones.
Does anybody have an idea when there will be an update to the multimedia system?
