Two ways to update the Traffic and Weather. Do you get HD AM or FM stations in
your area? Tune in your favorite terrestrial station, if you see an "HD" logo in gray
then that station is broadcasting an HD signal. Moments later if will turn gold which
indicates that you are now receiving the enhanced signal. On an HD AM station
try turning the HD on and off and you will be astounded by how much clearer the
sound becomes. When an HD FM station acquires the signal you will have:
1) a bit clearer signal (not as dramatic as AM), 2) The GraceNote picture of the
artist (or a generic genre graphic) will appear and 3) many stations are broadcasting
multiple programs. The base frequency is "HD1", touch Multicast or twist the tuning
**** slightly clockwise to tune in "HD2". Completely different programing.
All of this information regarding HD is in addition to the original question regarding
the weather/traffic updates. If you tune to and have acquired the HD signal for a
minute or two you will now see current and future weather, if you car has Nav you
will also have a Weather Channel Map plus green/yellow/red corridors outlining
major roads on your Nav Map. If you do not get any HD stations in your area or
choose not to listen to one for a couple of minutes each drive cycle then download
Lexus App Suite. Lots of threads on this subject, having LAS running in your phone
with the phone paired to the car will also update Traffic and Weather.

OK I'm confused are saying I need to tune in to a HD station to get consistent updates for weather and traffic? The issue I see here is if i start the car out side my garage where the system is getting a good signal the weather radar map comes up right after a min or two. But there is times where if it doesn't have a good signal when it first boots ;like if im in a closed area it stays in that (downloading data please wait state) even after driving for a bit this is only the radar weather map I have issue with from time to time.
The other Question is when does the system switch to mobile data when there's no HD signal at all or when the signal is weak?
