Enform and other telematics systems are not available in Hong Kong.

We only got navigation as an option on other Lexus vehicles starting with in 10MY, and that was a DVD based Gen6 system (a rarity since most of the other countries had moved to an HDD based Gen6 system in '10). My '10 GSh and '11 LSh both have Gen6 DVD based nav systems.

Not sure whether or not the LFA's navigation system is HDD based or DVD based, but we definitely do not have telematics infrastructure.

It's not a Lexus only thing- BMW's version of telematics (Assist/ConnectedDrive) was not offered in 08 for my M5 and afaik it is still not available for any new BMW model.
Same story with Mercedes, although if I understand it correctly you can still get the SOS button that directly connects you with emergency services (911/999)
