Default very upset 😠

Hello guys,
I currently own a 2014 is350 fsport with all the goodies, this afternoon I was looking into the lexus enform remote that is supposed to unlock and lock ur car from the phone and some other stuff, and I found out that only the 2015 models are the only one compatible. They require the nav system which I have and I thought that maybe with an update that would get fixed but unfortunately it did not. Now im very upset if lexus did not make our cars compatible for a service they were testing already when they build our cars.
Any comments or anything you might know about this please post.

I meant the app not the key remote, I case I wasn't clear on my post. Anyways it sucks

Lexus along with a lot of other auto makers are infamous for this. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do.

Unfortunately they had to pick a time to start installing it, and that time was for the 2015 Model year. It is very similar to what GM does with OnStar. All their vehicles are equipped with the technology, its just whether or not you want to pay to use it. I feel your pain.

Yes but I dont mind paying it. And it should be fixable at the end of the day is all software, all our doors are electronic and everything. I think they are just doing it so the 2015 is a bit different

I'd have no problem paying for it either if it came out.
