the design is pretty ugly and looks dated, and it just isnt comfortable to use. My friends Jeep Wranglers UI/OS is miles better. This is def a issue Lexus needs to address imo

I feel like the updated UI in the 2015 is better though. Definitely "looks" more expensive. I think Lexus tries too hard on making it "easy" to use, but Audi MMI is the best though.

Wait, are you talking about uConnect? That is a total POS unless they've magically updated it this year...

I replaced my uConnect unit with a Pioneer as soon as I could. The Lexus interface is pretty much average for the class (better than Mercedes, worse than BMW).

Then again all car OEM systems are pretty mediocre...

The uConnect in my Jeep is MUCH better. The Lexus system is fine though.

Which unit do you have - I had an RHR and it was okay, but the nav functions were terrible.

The radio interface was better though...

SW17LS

You have the old system. I'm talking about the new 8.4" uConnect system.

tknx

Ah, okay - well then I would hope it was better...

SW17LS

Yeah I had the old system in my 2011 Jeep, the new system is a huge improvement.

Im kinda surprised to see a discussion of jeeps on a lexus forum, but im not complaining. Here's what takes up the 2nd spot in my garage: ) She's a 95' so her UI ( non existant ) doesnt compare to the 2015 lex : )

oh its called uConnect my bad

but yeah i agree Audi has the best imo too. BMW's is nice too, i don't like lexus at all though

As far as intuitive functions and layout goes, Infiniti, with their fanned option screens, wins hands down for me. Things are where you expect them to be. A dial with an enter button is simpler to operate while driving than a mouse.

But I always felt the controls were in an awkward position. Too far and too high. They also didn't have good looking menus.

Yeah, the controls could have been lower, but the graphics look great. Eye of the beholder I guess.
