2018 is only for the GX....it's 2017 back for the IS..

 

Make me feel better I was aware 2017 back. My car, which I ordered from Japan, a IS 350 F Sport AWD has a bunch of boat-anchor electronics now (3 years later) that are worthless, that I am still paying for monthly. I have less than 10,000 miles on the car and it is antiquated. Just like Toyota/Lexus. Making these systems not upgradable is ridiculous. At my age trading, it in to get what had back is not an option. Progress creates unhappy customers.

 

Never subscribed, sure won’t miss it.

 

Canadian cars never had it, so really can say we don't know what we're missing.

 

Canadian cars with the Lexus Dashcam option that you cannot get for US cars... and will not work properly on them vs the Canadian counterparts.
I paid (paying) extra for electronics that make the enform system work and now it will sit there idle and my vehicle is devalued even more, so trading it in would be a really bad joke.
If you did not pay for it there is nothing to complain about. What is next that won't work? I guess I should shut up and keep paying my monthly payments
till it is paid off. BTW nice car Sasnuke. I was contemplating 3 pice HRE's for mine but I feel a little down now for a 10,000 expenditure not including tires.
