After doing a quick search, it seems to be a hit and miss with many people, but nothing seemed to have popped up for IS. Has anyone managed to get it working on their 3IS? It appears to work quite well in Japan, and some have better luck here with IOS than android, but curious how many have it working here. US also seems to have better luck than canada

evident

can you provide more information on what this actually is?

Jay89

from my understanding, it's an app that connects your phone to the navigation system in your car. Find the place you're looking for on your phone then send it over to the car rather than type in the address manually

Destination search kinda does that, works well with voice commands. Not to invalidate your question, but just saying it may not be worth the effort.

no clue what you are talking about.

are you speaking about vehicle's with non-navi stereo? what year car are you referring to?


Are you talking about Scout GPS? http://drivers.lexus.com/lexus-drive...uide_final.pdf

If OP is referring to the Non-Navi "GPS" option for 2017+ cars, the Scout GPS-Link is traaaaaaaaaaaaash. It is not worth the effort to fiddle with this app to only get TURN BY TURN directions to display on the screen.

You're better off with using your phone's Google Maps, Waze, or any other Navi-app.

Each time I explain this to a client, they be like TF IS THIS?

Jay89

Haha, I've never been very good at explaining things. So it's for cars equipped with navigation. You can do your searching or route planning on your phone, then send the info over to your car's navi and it'll show up on your car's navi screen.

when I first connected my phone and my ipod using Bluetooth, it prompted me to download this app called navibridge by denso corporation. Never worked for me. But seeing the responses so far it looks like it's probably not going to work on my car either haha

Hmm the only thing I can think of that is similar is the Destination Search thru the Lexus Enform App Suite. You download the Lexus Enform App Suite on your smartphone, search your address, save it, then when you turn on your car. You will find the address you searched for under the Lexus Enform App Suite > Destination Search/Saved Destination (forget which one it was under).

Note: You phone must be connected via Bluetooth

*You might be in a different country. Not sure if Lexus Enform is available for you.

What you are describing is more along the lines of E-Destinations. Destination Search, on the other hand, is something that allows you to search while you are in the car. You just press the voice command button and say "Launch Destination Search", and then say the name of the place you're trying to go. It then uses your phone to do the search. It's quick, and is actually much better than trying to use the built-in nav searching, no contest.

Side note: E-Destinations are kinda useful, kinda not, since they're really only good for places you know you're going to go, which you should probably already know how to get to, lol...

Destination Search can be done on the phone prior to getting into the car. The minimize time typing with the remote touch. Regardless, you NEED to have downloaded Lexus Enform App Suite on your smartphone connected via Bluetooth. Cause in order for the Destination Search to pull information, it uses your phones data plan.

*I've never done it by voice, cause the voice command system sucks. Too much of a headache to do that, while my typing skill is like 100x faster. lmao

E-Destination? You mean Destination Assist? <--- Paid subscription, you basically call someone live for an address that will be sent to your Navi.

Nah, it's called eDestinations.

Seems the feature is all but gone now...

We don't have Lexus enform yet here in Canada. Only on the lc500 I think. Which really sucks.

evident

"really sucks"??
trust me, you're not missing out on anything.

arentz07

lol! Though you're right, even the other parts of Enform, like the remote, are pretty clunky.

Jay89

Haha good to know, thanks everyone
