Not sure about that. Personally, I think with park assist I can live without the birds eye view. But if they are giving birds eye updates, I'll take that too.

I've never owned a car that had navigation before nor have I ever owned any type of portable navigation device. Can some explain to me the benefits or why "birds eye" view is so great? TIA ~Tu

Regarding this any other software updates?
Good to hear about the upcoming software update. Are these updates automatically "pushed" to the car or does the owner/operator have to do something to make them happen when they are available?

Speaking of backup camera, I would add to my wish list a feature where when you first start the car and put it in reverse (back up camera comes on) that it NOT show the info drop downs of the bluetooth and media player connections being made, it obstructs the view a good bit IMHO.
That info drop down isn't even necessary, its already shown in the top right of the right pane and just becomes bright/bold active and you know its connected anyway.
Just my opinion.

Nothing really. It is all about preferences. This is from someone who has been using Nav for the past 15 years.

That's annoying me too. It obstructs the view where I need to see most.
3D/Bird eyes map view would make Lexus drivers amaze. I send them many feedback / review / improved since I own 07 RX/ES and 5 years later they still not make any change about their NAV system. That's why I sold my 08 GS and bought an 09 G37.
We should start a new thread about Lexus details/improving need.

Now if you set the right pane to A/C and expand it to the left screen it does show the outside temp but that auto reverts to the map after 20 seconds unless you change it in settings to stay.
Anyone else want to take a stab at this mystery?

I have not seen the outside temp in the right pane. It is in the cluster as a display option. I have mine set to replace that with range miles, while above that I usually have instant mpg but can cycle through to the temp if I want. Of course where I live it's pointless, hot is hot lol

I just spent 1/2 hour reading my owners manual and going through menus in the car. I can not find a single place to change bluetooth setting to temp on the right pane. Which is odd because the image on www.lexus.com showing this feature is in the apps menu which presumably requires a bluetooth connection to the phone to work.
Now if you set the right pane to A/C and expand it to the left screen it does show the outside temp but that auto reverts to the map after 20 seconds unless you change it in settings to stay.

so they're going to "beam" this back-up camera update to our cars without having to go to the dealership?
