Software update coming mid-June for NAV and Bluetooth
I just did the first service on my car, and asked about any software updates. I was told that in mid-June a software update will be coming out for the NAV and Bluetooth. The Bluetooth update is to address issues with Samsung and iPhone's, and others. I'm not sure what the NAV one is about as I was mostly interested in the phone update as my Contacts keep graying out even though I see the Contacts and Call History transferred, and when I try to make a call and I get the dreaded "Pardon". I have a Samsung S5.
You might want to check with your Service Advisor in mid-June and get the update installed.

I agree 100%. Last time I tried to put in an AZ address using VC it gave me New York. I don't mind a road trip but that is ridicuious.

Hi All,
Just got called by the dealer, and I will be having the newest update for the NAV, Bluetooth, and Stereo installed on July 15th. The Western Lexus rep is coming to the dealer with a thumb drive for now to take care of vehicles that have been put on a high priority. After these vehicles are dealt with it will be released to all. I will keep you informed as to what exactly they will be fixing when I bring it in.
Cheers

Just got my firmware update on Wednesday, and this is what they fixed:
NAV system locking up
iPod issues
Bluetooth connectivity for Android and iPhone's
If you are experiencing these issues contact your dealer and ask for the update. It won't be released until September, but they will do it before if you complain about these issues.

It might sound silly, but this sort of thing can feed into perceptions of the speed of the car overall.

I wish they'd release a firmware upgrade to speed up the responsiveness of the system as a whole. There is a such a long lag (up to one second) after selecting almost any item. If it was programmed efficiently you would expect it to be instantaneous.

When I asked the rep what exactly was addressed he just gave me the three items above, and would not give me any detailed info.

Who's your dealer, if I might ask?

I doubt it will happen but I was kinda hoping there would FINALLY be a nav map for Guam. It's not super important but it would be nice to have it.
The bluetooth update is hopefully a good one.
