cant seem to locate anywhere about the outside temperature? Anyone know. Is it even on this gx? Heck my 2000 corolla even has it.

It is not obvious, but click on "Climate" and you will see it on your Nav screen. Also you can go to NavXM to get the forecast/actual live weather.

It was a bit puzzling to only see the outside temp on the Climate screen instead of being continually displayed elsewhere.

Those temperature gages were never too accurate anyway (ex. if you car sits in the sun). Since Nav offers WeatherXM which provides live weather updates, I am sure this a plot by lexus for you to use it and then making you subscribe to it after the free subscription is over. Is like free Lexus crack and when you get addicted, they will make you pay for it.

The unfortunate fact is the quality of Lexus crack is poor. I have tried it 2-3 times and just doesn't do it for me.

you talking "Lexus" or "XM". if the latter, I would agree. Since the inception, the cost has gone up, the audio quality stayed stagnant, and the quality of the programming gone down.

Not a good move by Lexus IMHO to get in bed with XM. I think I might embark on a career change to lobby with auto manufacturers to switch to an open audio/nav platform... Why in the hell would I want to pay a premium for XM/Nav,Weather when I can get ALL of that at a better quality/frequency rate and higher resolution with feature add-ons via free software upgrades on my smartphone. (Think Android or iPhone)

I will not be subscribing to XM radio. XM = Irridium. Satellite radio is heading in the same direction as satellite phones, useable quality at an extreme price when it's the ONLY option you have (North Pole or South Pole or middle of an Ocean)
