Technology and Software Update
So the new IS has a different and what looks like a better technology build / software version. I'm really hoping here but- is there any chance that they will ever release a software update for the GS? For example a clear feature and enhancement is on the map screen and how wether radar's are layered right on the main screen. Interface is also looking a bit enhanced.
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
I hope we get an update, it seems our software isn't complete but good enough to go into production. I really want a new voice command and a smarter notification system. Hopefully 2014 gets it and applicable to us too.

Sadly, no.. and it's vexing to say the least. Think about the Enform applications. The first thing that happens when you select Apps is that it checks for updates...and there never is one! The screens are even designed to have apps added.....But nope, no new apps.
Very sad situation and a waste of a great customer service opportunity by Lexus.

While the enform stinks in my opinion, I think the Bluetooth integration is superior to any other I've seen or used, using an iPhone anyways. Meta tag data is comprehensive and I can browse by playlists/artists/songs, etc.

I have been using the enform alot and I like it.. It is buggy , sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.. The BT streaming has better quality sound then the inform?
If you click the enform app and the pandora radio there is a box you can check for better quality sound. Maybee you guys that think enform does not sound as good need to check the box on the app.
