The 3D view is part of the Gen 8 navigation, which started in the 3rd gen IS, the CT, and the GX last year, and spreads this model year ('15) to most other models, including the GS. In my opinion, it's a major improvement.

Did you set it to 3D/Bird's Eye mode?

To toggle to the Bird's Eye mode, you need to click on the compass in the top left.

I believe you're out of luck.

You'd also need a remote touch hardware update to make it work properly, as the new one incorporates a "Home" button.

In addition, the Navigation system can help guide you to your destination more efficiently with full and predictive traffic information, including detour preview, ETA calculation and low-fuel coordination with available fuel stations. Navigation also includes the Lexus Enform App Suite and features 3D and bird’s eye map views, plus 3D building views.
