Weather not downloading
I just posted in the ES forum https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es-...ffic-info.html, but wonder if it depends on location, model or is it Lexus wide issue?

I don't know now for certain if they are the same, but if it uses the HD radio / Enform app model that the NX uses then you should be able to get the data through your phone.
Where I live there are no HD radio stations for at least 100 miles.
You need to install the Enform App suite on your phone, pair the phone with the car with Bluetooth, enable HD-Radio/Phone in the data providers setup menu, and make sure you have the Enform App Suite open on your phone when it connects to the car. After that it should download weather and traffic data with your phones data connection.
Without having HD radio that's the only way.

I've had this happen to me a few times over the course of almost three years. The message I get is "downloading data.....please wait" or something like that. I've always had Enform loaded on my phone and connected. I've had it not download for days at a time. It tends to work itself out. I have however deleted personal data before and it seemed to fix it as well. But, that deletes all radio station memory etc, so I generally don't do it. I don't know if it's an Enform or HD thing.

Like the other guys on ES side said, it never hapened...more than a year, worked perfectly day in day out. No settings or Enform were changed. My HD radio stations work fine.It just won't connect to Weather channel all week...

Its interesting that you say that. My wife's '15 IS is having this issue. I've had her reboot it and still nothing. My NX was always VERY slow with downloading the weather to the point where I eventually took it off the screen to alleviate frustration. My 4R has never had problem though and my weather loads without issue very quickly.

Nope. It is a small thing. I don't really care much but it's Lexus. Come on.....Last time was the Nav, now the weather. WTF. I just hate the Lexus image is ruined by things like this.

Just called my local dealer, they said that ClearChannel is working on it. They said it's a company providing signal for our radios.
I think mine isn't working for 3 weeks now.
