Are there any software updates for our car and can we done them ourselves?

I noticed the menus have several software update sections


And we're do we get the updates from?

My car build-Feb 2015

- other day Enform updated
- having issue with iPod connect in that it errors out constantly. Known issue but went to dealer this past week to log the issue. Dealer advises vehicle is up to date with soft/firmware and even stated the vehicle has later versions than what the Dealer has at the moment. Go figure...

I'm going to push the 3x and your out lemon law if iPod issue is not resolved by late summer. Hoping Apple IOS9 and Lexus fix the issue.

Quite embarrassing it "fails"...for a $75k car.

Lemmon law over an iPod connect?!???!! Lol over that "substantial defect" and the look you get at Lexus when you throw that one out. Seriously, if an iPod connect its that big of a priority, why not get one of those new Buick compact SUVs. I understand their iPod connect is amazing.

We need an ecu flash for transmission. This 8 speed even in an Sports + is setup too soft for a sports car. Even the shifting in normal mode could use some minor tweaking. I honestly think 8 speed trannies are just stupid unless the upshift is programmed to happen much later in the rev range.

Guys, i saw an APEXI Electronics-Smart Accel Controller & was wonderin' if it would do anything to improve the Performance or Not? Out of pretty much anything i could do to my car, i would do a TUNE! Didn't somebody say on here awhile back that they were close to breaking the code for one on our cars or is this just my Wishful thinking? Thanks!

The controller won't make the car go faster but it may make it more fun to drive.

I'm familiar with tuners but a newb when it comes to these "controllers" ... I thought they were mostly for FI cars no?

Although I don't own one, it's my understanding that they "remap" the position of your foot on the pedal to the actual percentage of throttle that the engine has. For instance, if an OEM car has 10% throttle when the pedal is pushed 10% to the floor, the controller can apply, let's say, 25% of the throttle for that same 10% of pedal movement giving the "impression" that the car is more powerful. In the end, the controller can only open up the throttle to 100% no matter what the position of the pedal is.

A controller cannot remap the ECU to change the fuel/air mix, etc.

Ahh that would make sense. It wouldn't have any control over shift response/firmness would it?

Lemon laws vary by state - who says it has to be 'substantial' - that is subjective. If it can't be fixed with 3x attempts - the buyer has a case in NJ.

I have a 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali - and it is amazing! Lexus should be embarrassed over the iPod connectivity error issue... Why should I need to use a 12v adaptor to charge the iPhone.
Using the USB connector causes it to error whether you use Bluetooth or the Media connect. That's bs.

The Dealer is already on notice - I will be reasonable for a period of time to either allow IOS 9 or Lexus to correct. As mentioned above - for $75k - **** should work.
Even my 2015 Audi S3 MMI Connect works without issue...
Shame on Lexus...

take a breath and lighten up. Then go read the law again.

Hope you get your issue fixed.

My cold air does not come out hard enough on my seat either, I guess I should go full retard and sue Lexus too because it hinders how hot my *** gets in the summer and it's definitely a safety and sanitary issue.

Ease up cowboy, he was being sarcastic ( I thought it was funny ). He's just quoting from the movie Tropic Thunder. I usually find Ryanmcd to share the same kind of humor I dish out, I certainly don't think he meant to be an asshat. Sit back and pour yourself a nice single malt
