Enform App Suite Update!?
COULD THEY MAKE THIS E-MAIL ANY MORE DIFFICULT TO READ!? ARGH:
We hope you are enjoying your Lexus and your Lexus Enform® App Suite service with in-vehicle access to popular mobile applications, such as BingTM, Pandora® and iHeartRadio.
Lexus is proud to introduce a new feature called Saved Destinations, which makes planning your next trip easier. Along with announcing this new feature we also want to inform you of the transition of some features from your Lexus Enform App Suite to the My Lexus and Beyond mobile app, Lexus Roadside Assistance mobile app, and lexusdrivers.com.
Saved Destinations
Saved Destinations is a new Lexus Enform App Suite feature that replaces eDestination within your Lexus Enform App Suite. When searching for points-of-interest (POIs) via Bing within the Lexus Enform App Suite, you can easily store and send your selected points-of-interest (POIs) directly to your vehicle using the Saved Destinations feature. Once your phone is paired, these POIs are accessed via the Saved Destinations folder in your vehicle where you can easily download them to your navigation system and be ready to go.
Please note: Saved Destinations replaces eDestination on mobile devices; however, eDestination will continue to be available through the lexusdrivers.com site.
To use Saved Destinations, you will need to update your existing Lexus Enform App Suite mobile app and your in-vehicle software.
•Mobile App Update: Watch for the Lexus Enform App Suite update on your phone in early April or visit the Apple® App StoreSM[1] on your mobile device. Once app version (1.5.31) is available, please update to the new version.
•In-Vehicle Software Update: You will automatically receive an on-screen notification in your vehicle when the update is available. Please follow the simple instructions on the screen and your system will be automatically updated to the latest version of Lexus Enform App Suite.
Transition of Select Features
Going forward, the Lexus Enform App Suite (handset version) will only contain features that match those available within Lexus Enform App Suite in your vehicle (Table 1). Roadside Assistance, Vehicle Information, Dealers Nearby and Lexus Mobile[2] will be removed from the Enform App Suite mobile app, but will be available within the My Lexus and Beyond app (Table 2), the Lexus Roadside Assistance app (Table 3) or via lexusdrivers.com (Table 4).

My Lexus and Beyond is a single, convenient location for valuable Lexus ownership tools.
Lexus Roadside Assistance is designed to give Lexus owners an added level of safety and convenience while on the road.

The Lexus Roadside Assistance app and the My Lexus and Beyond apps discussed in the email are available, however.

Only thing missing in the update is the ability to scroll through my eDestenations when there is more than 5 in a folder and the car is moving. I am sure that was some safetly thing, but what about the several clicks and mouse movements i had to do to get the eDestenations section in my car while it was moving? Why i was able to do that but not scroll ? :P

Just found out a year is included! I had no idea. I activated my account and tried to use the eDestination app, and it says my enform subscription expired? I bought the car two months ago!

The rest of the Enform app is free for the life of the car.

Don't know why this is so complicated!
I'd like to put an address into my phone and have it transmit to my car.
Possible? If so, what programs do I use? Too many different 'services'; so confused. :|
Thanks.

The difference going forward is that eDestinations will change names to Saved Destinations.

It's very easy. I do it all the time. Go to your Enform app. Put the address into Bing, click "save" and follow the instructions. When you get into your car, go into eDestinations and click to load. Simple.

They make it sound more difficult than it is. I pretty much always do this now, as it's easier to do ahead of time than it is to do it in the car. For example, if I am going to run errands after work, I'll just send any addresses to the car I need before I leave my desk. Then head out, start up the car, load them, and off I go. Eliminates a lot of frustration.
