I have to laugh as I quit using the NAV unit about 2 years ago due to all the issues. So for the heck of it, last couple of weeks, I decided to try it again in my local area. First time, when I searched for a place with a partial description it popped up about 5 choices. But, because the readout cuts off at something like 15/20 characters, all the results appeared the same but it's the best guess that it might be right. So I chose the first one which proved to be totally wrong and I wound up in a 4 mile drive when I realized this is just wrong. So I called the destination and got directions. Turned out it was the wrong place entirely.
2nd time, I punched in a specific address. I was about 200 yards past my destination. The NAV proceeded to send me on a 5 mile square to get back close to where I started.
To say the least, I stopped using it again

So no new updates for the 2014's and 2015's use a newer version.

I went from V10A8500 to V10C8741 and the lag is all but gone. The system user interface is much more responsive and usable now. I didn't like the remote touch before.. but now it's not half bad, at least it's usable. If Lexus would have included a dedicated Return button it would be better. I noticed the RC 350 has it.
I guess this is the new world we live in where our cars are now running, essentially beta software that must be updated multiple times over a period of many months before it becomes usable or stable.

WTF WTF WTF.
23 MONTHS and 19,000 MILES later,
I (we) FINALLY have a working radio / navigation system without delay / lag / freezing / screen flashing / rebooting. STILL minor delay / lag on certain processes, but tolerable.
SHOULD NOT have taken this long.
ABSOLUTE BS.
F'N PISSED.
Firmware version attached.

Seriously, as happy as I am, I am not.
And with all of our efforts for prompt resolution, I no longer trust Lexus.
No appreciation of it's customers on this important matter; can't take that risk again.
