Sorry guys can you please explain to me the enform?

You buy the subscription and which app can you use? I see 3 different subscription which should I choose?
I am interested in Google Maps, Spotify and YouTube mainly for music are they available?
Will I be able to listen youtube and drive with Google maps at the same time for example?
The 4G data comes from your Android (no apple available) Bluetooth connected phone right?

Sorry for the patience but I am confused.
Lexus and the dealer know nothing about this upgrade so I am moving toward beat sonic but I want to find other alternatives before the purchasing.

thanks

 

Enform is a linux base operating system, apps are very limited what app are installed may be different by region.
You cannot choose what apps you want install. like Google maps spotify and youtube are not supported.
Your best bet to run them in carplay/ android auto.

 

Anyone know if the head unit in the Australian models are the same as North American?

Anyone from Australia receive the updated on one of the above mentioned models?

 

I queried my local dealer (Lexus of London) today.

Their response was "...apple car play retrofit is the only one available here in Canada , Android auto is not available as a retrofit ."

 

I have service #2 scheduled for my 2019 NX this coming Thursday at my dealership in Toronto, I'll ask and see what they say. When I went for service 1 my advisor didn't know if there would be a retrofit.

 

I read some Toyota forum only Australia and UK has the AA update at the moment for older Toyota vehicles. And the two region 10" with GPS are standard package.

 

Good to know. So could that mean non nav trims, like my Canadian fsport1, may not be eligible? I do have carplay, but not sure if it was preinstalled or upgraded by the dealer.

 

No, can't say for sure just note is possible. I have the same package hope AA comes to the non nav hardware.

 

I am in Canada too. It depends what year is your NX. If it's a 2019 or 2020, CarPlay was preinstalled and part of new OEM feature.
If it's a 2018, like mine, it has been upgraded thru a firmware update.
Mine was done at the dealer as here in Canada they "only" charge 70$ to do it vs 250$ in the USA
Would not expect to matter if it's a nav or non-nav trim

 

Per the Lexus FAQ, early model year 2019 vehicles may not have received factory installed, I bought mine in July 2019 and don't know the manufacturer date is why I made that point. Either way I hope the AA update makes its way to North America soon. I believe CarPlay update was around this time last year.

You’re right, mine was done exactly a year ago, first week of June 2019

 

This is correct … Android Auto cannot be retrofit.

 

Then how is it possible to retrofit in Australia? They just dont want to do it...

 

I think Australia and Europe didn't get carplay last year that's why they are getting AA retrofit first this time. They can test for bugs when the final version comes to N.A. should be more bug free. And this pandemic is slowing down the process a lot.

From the marketing side some of the owner paid $200 to $250 (Not include Canadian $75cdn) for carplay last year. One year later is Lexus going to ask another $250 for AA I be pissed? One way I look at it they can charge half price for those already had carplay installed.

 

Hopefully the same guy uploads the Android Auto files just like he did with Apple Car play and we can install the update ourselves. That's what I am hoping...

I kept reading that there was NO update headed for the US for Android Auto... but according to what you are saying that's OK if NA is last compared to the Apple car play update of last year that we got first. I'm cool with waiting as long as we get it. Then it would be sweet having both AA and Apple Car play on the NX at least for our 18'.
