Default Sending destination from laptop/phone to car?

I used to be able to do this but now it doesn't seem to be working after new Enform update. I search for location on Enform Bing app on my iPhone and add that do my edestination. Then I download it from POI on the car. But now it only seems to save the location from Bing and doesn't send to the car. What am I missing here?

Thanks.

You have to use Saved Destination app on the car to download destination. Lexus updated so that you can send addresses from phone to car without subscriptions. If you send info from computer using Lexusdrivers site you just download it normally with POI.

Thanks for the info dojoman. Does this mean I'll now have two locations where destinations are stored?

No, if you used Enform app from smartphone phone, the address will only show up in Saved Destination app in the car, it will not show up in eDestination under POI and vice versa. eDestination is not subscription free.

It sounds like I need to move my locations from eDestination to Saved Destination. Thanks for the feedback.

I believe Saved Destination in one of the Enform apps that was installed with recent update on your phone and car.
