thanks for the reply 👍 I've been to the local Toyota today and they will try to find out why Lexus Spain is denying the Apple car play upgrade...I went numb 🙊
Could that be possible? The dude I've spoken to said there isn't any logic in not likely to be done ...cross fingers 🤞

damn...mine is DCU: 17LDL2EU-DB01 and MEU: 17LML2EU-FB00.
From which date is this info? Is this the last word from Lexus for today?

A US bulletin doesn’t apply in Spain, they are country specific.

Hm...there was one dude here, named Alexander, from Poznan, Poland and he was telling me stories about upgrading ACP there and even invited me to go there. He would install it for me... but t seems he disappeared without a trace ... Poznan, Poland isn't so far from you?

1000km or so...
But 'm not interested in ACP, i can not afford an iPhone so i bought a Samsung Galaxy phone..
Are you sure Alexander had a 2018 model? Not imported? If i want a LS 500 (tt) i have to import it too, here are only the hybrids for sale.
I would not recommend downloading and upgrading our cars with this update, the risk of killing it is just too high.

don't know ...he just disappeared ...and it was about our LS 500h's in Europe...but for me was a kind of joke, he never answer my questions after I showed some interest ...never mind, looks like I'll drive this car until the bitter end, the only thing to comfort me is the 7 years of warranties 🤷‍♂️

Hi all! and so I was preparing for half a year )))))) I live in Europe and I have the American version of the LS500 2018.04 already with the o-manual disk and I just made myself a carplay from official updates, it was not difficult, but it took about 2 hours with the engine running ^ the main thing is not to take more than 8-16GB of usb and change its name to USB Drive. PS It was easy to switch the light 3 times )))) without this, the update will not start, the main thing is to correspond to servis bulletin
