Default Lexus Enform App Suite - is it free?

So I just realized that I didn't ask about this when I bought the car. Is our Lexus Enform App subscription-free? Lexus website doesn't seem to explain this either. Thanks!

It comes with a free one year subscription. Just call the number that shows up on the screen to activate it. I did this after work and when I woke up in the morning it was working.

The Enform App, and it's features is free for the life of the car (it uses your cell phone for data).

Lexus changed it to free last summer.

You mean your salesperson didn't tell you? Shocker! Just kidding. There are other treads around this forum talking about what was and was not explained to buyers during the hyped delivery show Lexus tries to put on. But as noted above by redcupr, it is free and uses your cell service. Enjoy!

Got it. eDestination is pretty useful tho. I wish it's also free for life.

On the side note, lexus should give free upgrade to Carplay.

I haven't heard any info about Carplay, I doubt it will be compatible. At least Mercedes is bringing aftermarket solutions to their car.

So I went to lexus dealership earlier and got the 3IS brochure. It says that Lexus Enform App suite with Bing, iHeartRadio, OpenTable, MovieTickets.com, Pandora, Yelp, and Facebook Places. Subscription required. One-year trial subscription included.

Why is that? Can someone clarify this? I thought it is free. :-(

Lexus changed things after the brochure was published. I recall getting an email from them saying the Enform app would not require a subscription after the first year and would be free.

Thanks dojoman. I wish Lexus would have updated all the flyers so there is no confusion. Glad someone can clarify this tho! :-)
