Android Auto now standard

Lou

 

The revisions for 2021 are CRAZY RADICAL !!!!!

HaHaHaHa

 

I'm surprised that they're even continuing with such low sales.

 

Still no surround view camera?

That's one thing that's keeping me from getting one.

 

Ugh! At least a front camera!
Auto exit seats. Auto close trunk. Fold down rear seats - pass through trunk.
Of course the frikken track pad...

 

Thanks Lou,
I am scheduled to receive my LC on May 1st.
I am now debating waiting for 2021 model.
Do you know how the cycle works for Lexus in terms of dealers seeing these?
Thanks Eddy

 

Well, let's hope that they don't leave us in the dust and provide previous LC owners with the possibility of Android Auto retrofit!

 

My reaction? Eh. Nothing really of note for us existing owners. Unless you're an Android user.

 

I wonder if Lexus monitors this site? I also own a Mercedes and a BMW and those owners' sites are most definitely monitored. They regularly make their presence known.

 

I think that if they would be monitoring this site or other forums - they would've added at least the front view camera. There's been plenty of complaints about a lack of Car Play (they've added), Android Auto (finally!), and front camera (nothing).

Any car company that monitors owner forums or groups (like LC 500 Club on FB), would be smart to get 1st hand feedback from current owners - good or bad!

 

From what I've heard, there are no new LC vehicles available for purchase in Japan because the factory is currently shut down. Only very few used vehicles to choose from. I expect we will experience the ripple effect.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by feeling the ripple effect, if we're already owners. The fact that no new LC's are being produced shouldn't affect us - if we already own one. Maybe I misunderstood --> could you elaborate on experiencing the ripple effect (are you referring to the economy as a whole)?

 

Sorry for the confusion... I mean our supply of incoming vehicles will also stop or be delayed significantly (what's happening in Japan will "ripple" or propagate to the US). Unless it's already on US soil, or in a ship on its way from Japan, it probably ain't coming for a while. The arrival of the new convertible is also projected to get delayed. You're right - we current owners should feel even more appreciative for what we've got right now!

My point was targeted at the thread subject - the 2021 model, and the related changes - will likely get delayed.

 

Yes, this also means that most likely the LC F will get delayed. Not only because of production delays but more importantly because of the racing series cancellations (where they were going to be testing the new TT 4.0 L V8).

I'd assume that without the proper testing on that engine, they won't be moving forward as scheduled on development for the LC F.

 

^ Yup. Agreed. The whole planet has been put on "hold" for a while. I was hoping to see the LC-F introduced around the time of (or maybe even at) the 2020 Olympics. Maybe next year...
