I'm gonna say this isn't happening...lol.
It was nice we got CarPlay, but I highly doubt we are getting AndroidAuto.

Hello everyone, have a look at this link: https://www.lexus.com.au/apple-carpl...oid-auto/about
it seems it is happening:Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™¹ are standard on the following new Lexus models: UX, NX, RX, ES, LS, RC, LC and RC F.

For existing Lexus owners, a retrofit is available for $249 on the following models and respective productions dates:

• ES - 4 July 2018 onwards
• LC - 27 March 2017 onwards
• LS - 8 January 2018 onwards
• RC - 27 November 2017 onwards
• RC F - 27 November 2017 onwards
• NX - 1 September 2017 onwards
• UX - 5 October 2018 onwards

I just sent an email to Lexus... waiting for their reply... will keep you posted

 

Great news hope this is not limited to Australia only.
makes sense "NX - 1 September 2017 onwards" since those are the model has the Apple CarPlay update last year.
Hope someone will upload the files again we can do it for free

 

not good for us 2015-2016 nx'ers....

 

not try to rub it in for people with 2017 not for them as well. End of 2017 they only makes 2018 model.

 

This might be good.. HOPEFULLY we get the files like we did with Apple Car play and not have to pay the outrageous $250 fee... I'm hoping someone on a Toyota forum posts up like before and hosts the files when the come available.. I'd donate again to the cause just for the fact it's saving us $$$!

Precision : For the NX's the firmware upgrade is only available on the 2018 model year with a production date after October 1st 2017

September 2017 onwards basically means the restyle my18 so the one with 10" display

 

Yep - like mine

 

Nope, I have a 2018 model with 8" display (Pioneer) I was able to upgrade Carplay firmware myself.

 

Would this software update also add other new features? Such as Waze within Enform? That was new for 2020 I believe, along with traffic sign recognition.

According to this, it was previously only available on 2020 models:

Is your model with or without navigation system? I am trying to match all head units in order to understand the compatibility.
Care to share the upgrade procedure which might help others?
Did you manage to enable both Apple Carplay and Android Auto with the same update?

Thanks

 

Mined without the navigation system are the Pioneer hardware. With navigation are the Panasonic 10".
Only Carplay, no Android Auto update yet for older models. I think only the new 2020 comes with both.

 

Waze will be working out of the mirroiring system would it be Apple CarPlay or Android Auto rather than from Enform ... Here's how Waze looks on the 10in screen

 

What Wallaceb meant was to run waze within Enform like YELP, iheartradio ect.. I think the benefit are the wireless you can feed data through Bluetooth without cable like Apple carplay.
