It was on Lexus Enform Guest Support, which is for existing App suite 2.0 customers. It was a third party products and support update.

It was part of the FAQ section.

I saw spec sheet of a newly built LS500 that listed as a feature "Apple Carplay compatible". I don't know what that means, neither did the sales rep but he said he'd look into it.

The ongoing concern that Toyota, Lexus and Tesla have had regarding the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
app seems to center around the privacy issue. Say you ask for directions to ABC Liquors or the new Recreational
Pot House or Mary's House of Pleasure using the app. Apple and Android mine that data and Mary gets a report
of your inquiry. Toyota has apparently hammered out an agreement to limit that intrusion but Android is seemingly
not there yet.

So, Is that true? or is spin for, "all of our older models are not backwards compatible with Car Play or Android" (need to wait for new models) It seems any company will use privacy concerns for their advantage within marketing.

After posting here, I called the national Lexus customer service line yesterday to inquire about meaning of Apple Carplay compatible. After a brief being put on hold, I was informed that all LS 500's produced after October 1 will in fact have Apple Carplay.

Just picked up new LS 500, yes, it has Carplay. Trying to figure out all the features. Have an appointment with tech specialist tomorrow. I'm having problems distinguishing between the Lexus command button (quick press and release of the talk button) versus press and hold for Siri mobile assistant. When making phone calls, I think mobile assistant works more easily.
