Default Apps

A brand is a promise. What is the Lexus promise to you? For me, the Lexus brand is more than a car. There are lots of cars to buy. I expect compelling design, advanced engineering that works, attention to detail, and customer service that exceeds expectations. That's how I have to run my business so I can afford one! Anything less is a broken promise, and a ***** in the brand's armor.

Issuing beta apps is inexcusable. Bluetooth technology has been on then market for years: just look around Best Buy. They should have it bullet proof, include an iPhone in the purchase price, or drop it all together. To me, it's a big let down. It's an over promise and under deliver.

I recommend calling the 800 number and posting on the Lexus Facebook page! They are very responsive to Facebook posts and will document the issue.

I can't get it to work on my GS, Enform opens up but is says "loading" when I open Pandora. I can get around it by pushing media but it doesn't work through enform. I have an I Phone.

not sure this is a total solution, but almost everytime I have any kind of problem/issue trying to pair/sync the Bluetooth w/any Lexus, it is because most people never power-down and turn their phone off. Most people usually plug in their phone to charge overnight, then just unplug it in the morning to use. Once I power-down for a couple of seconds, then turn it back on? Vuala!!! Repeat steps to pair/sync phone and it works perfect.. This is what I have found as the result of pairing/syncing hundreds of phones to every different Lexus model over the years..

I have an Iphone 4 and every night, before I go to bed, I close all the open apps, plug in the charger, and turn off the phone. It is off and charging every night. I work at a dealership and am waiting for a new update for the car and enform app on the phone. Hopefully that will fix these issues.

I guess you don't have to worry about emergency calls in your line of work? Wish I can simply turn off the phone like you sometime and forget about everything until the next morning

No issues with my Android Motorola Droid Razr phone. The Iphone gave me enough problems with 2 cars that I got rid of it. Apple is not allowing MAPs, emails syncs, bluetooth audio gets dropped, etc.

No emergency calls for me. When I leave work, I'm done until the next morning or Monday. My wife has to get calls at all hours of the night and it is really annoying. Glad I don't have to deal with it.

Also I noticed that if you switch to apps and then back to bluetooth audio, I have to hit play on the phone's screen. I talked to our tech specialist and our DS. They both have no answers as to if this is normal. Has anyone else encountered these issues?
I have an iPhone 4 with the latest firmware and latest Enform app. On the first initialization of the phone to the car, it pairs up. You turn off the GS and start it up again at another time, the Enform Suite doesn't link back up to my phone. I always use the AUX USB port to charge my phone anyway so listening to music off my iPhone is a lot more convenient. The Enform suite is a fantastic idea but it will be perfected one day.

My Enform apps work fine with my iPhone 4S. I open the Enform app on my iPhone when I get into the car.

There is a recent update on the Lexus Enform app (iOS) which appeared just recently. Hopefully that will do the trick, and give us less errors. Well, for the iPhone users that is.
