Default NAV's feature 'Vehicle Maintenance' service reminders

Do you setup and use the NAV feature 'Vehicle Maintenance' for service reminders based on conditions you can input (date or mileage) for various services and/or checks (e.g. Engine Oil, Oil Filter, Rotation, Tires, Engine Air Filter, Cabin Air Filter, Battery, Brake Pads, Wipers, Coolant, Trans Fluid, Brake Oil, Alignment, Dealer Service, Personal 1, Personal 2, etc., etc.)?

This feature looks like it may be very helpful because the reminder events can be input based on either mileage or date. For example, I want some things like oil changes and tire rotations done based on mileage, but other things like tire pressure check, changing the cabin air filter, wiper blades, battery check, registration/inspection, insurance, SiriusXM renewal, etc. I want done based on a date in lieu of mileage. I see there are even a few ‘Personal’ reminders that could be used much like an email calendar many of us likely use on our computers.

Do you use this feature?

I was going to use it but I got lazy and forgot all about it.

I'll know when my parts are wearing out and need replacement anyway.

Me 3 lol. Extreme laziness has rendered the maintenance reminders empty.

I was just sure that one of you suave, debonair, sophisticated guys would have used one of the 'Personal' reminders and tagged it with 'Happy Birthday xxxxx' (insert your girlfriend's or wife's name). Then, you can surprise her on her birthday with a special birthday greeting coming from your cool Lexus GS 350 screen. Or, your anniversary!

What - no suave, debonair, sophisticated GS 350 owners around here?

I was going to use it but found an app on android that does the same thing but more and not just limited to cars. Appointment reminders, car maintenance, birthdays, anniversarys, and many other reminders all in one app.

Whoa, give me some time! I've just picked-up my car on Friday. Hell, I'm having a hard time remembering that the HomeLink buttons for the gate and garage door are on the rear view mirror instead of the overhead console... And I'm just now doing the final tweaking for my seat and mirror adjustment. All that stuff must come first long before I program my car to wish my wife 'Happy Birthday" and 'Happy Anniversary'...

I can't believe that you would question whether I am suave, debonair and sophisticated!
