Also. If Lexus doesn't adapt Android auto by the time i'm looking for my next car I wont be looking at Lexus at all.

I really do want android auto. But really don't know if/when we'll get it. Lexus doesn't really seem to be for the integration. But I'm curious, we don't have Android auto or car play. But we have Siri Hands Free 🤔?

Word, another engineer. What is your discipline/what is your focus?

do you have any idea of why Lexus has Siri hands-free but doesn't have full-blown car play? Like at this point, why did Lexus think that Siri hands-free was enough but waited this long for car play & Android auto?

Reportedly the reason for the delay on CarPlay was because Lexus and Apple were in disagreement about how Apple handles customer data. Apparently Apple doesn't collect the same info for Siri.

Well guys, it's been about 2 months and 1200 miles since I got the GS. I've had a few requests for info about how the two cars compare, so I thought I'd provide a little comparison of the two, detailing what I find are the positives and negatives of each in relation to each other. Again, just my opinions and experiences thus far. ... Overall I'm very happy with the GS, just as I was with the IS. I think they are both fantastic cars and there are no wrong choices here. For me, with a 4 member family (two of which are in car seats), we fit better in the GS. The GS is a lot more car, and since I bought my IS when deals were few and the GS when deals were plentiful, I didn't have to pay much for it.
Because the GS is bigger & heavier (of course not like a truck or SUV - just comparing IS vs GS), I feel more safe, secure, and solid in the GS over the IS, especially as it applies to passengers or driving ~100 mph. Is this completely moot/whack or do you perceive the same?

I understand their are licensing issues with Apple Carplay and Android Auto but for the sake of competition they need to get it done. My girlsfriends 17' Civic Hatch which is 25k less MSRP than anything Lexus offers came with both.
