So yesterday at the Philadelphia Auto Show I connected my Samsung S4 to the 2014 GS, which has the latest version of the software, and it fixed at least one of the problems I have. After the upgrade to Android 4.3, when I read a text message and then press the CALL button from that screen, instead of dialing the person that sent the text, it dials 1. In the 2014 with the latest version, it worked correctly. How do we pressure Lexus to make the latest firmware available to us?? The other thing I noticed, there's a splash screen for the ECO Mode as well, not just for the S and S+. It's similar in look and feel and it's blue.

I noticed the ECO screen on a '14 loaner too! I was a bit jealous lol.

I don't. I just thought it looked cool. It's interesting why the graphic was left out in the first place. The LS had it.

LOL, it's been my experience that there's no way to pressure Lexus into doing anything unless it's a safety related issue. The most expedient and easiest solution may be to trade your car
