Default Software Upgrade

Hey guys, i swear I've seen the infotainment reporting showing the Battery Health, Engine health and additional essential information before on a different car..

My 2015 4GS only shows historical fuel consumption, compass, and few other graphs that does not show Battery or engine healthy.

Do I need to update mine? If so, how???

My Nav current version shows v15A8792
Operating System shows 15.8310

Thanks in advance gentlemen!

Never seen any of those extra reports you mentioned of. You are mistaken. Lexus software updates only remove features. They have removed Pandora, MovieTickets, and something else I can't remember. Totally worthless!

Not quite what you're looking for, but there is a maintenance page.

Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Maintenance

Mine looks like this:



Most items have to be set up, but if you click on Engine Oil, you'll get a screen that tells you how long until your next change, like this:

Going to https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home and plugging in 2015 GS350 with Nav shows no current Multimedia
Update for your car at this time. The Lexus App Suite will update itself when the phone it is running on pairs up. It was not
a matter of Lexus dropping anything, when SiriusXM bought Pandora they re-coded it and eliminated third party control apps
such as LAS...Pandora dropped Lexus not the other way around. Other than plugging into the OBD port with a TechStream
computer or possibly Carista with a subscription I have not seen any in car/ on screen displays of the sort you mentioned.
