Android auto coming to Lexus
So if that's the case looks like the wife's 18' is NOT going to get AA... darn :-(
I'm wondering if Lexus is going to do anything for other models. My 2020 RCF has Apple Carplay but no AA... I am an adroid user and will always be. I'd LOVE if they would release AA for the car. Hell I can do the install but at this point I'd almost be willing to spend the $200 just to get it unless someone posts up the files eventually like they did with Apple Car play.
Lexus is so freaking behind on infotainment. I just don't understand why car manufactures design their own stupid systems when we have two MAIN platforms that the majority of people are using... just mirror the system in the car.. They are starting to finally catch on but way too late.

Are you sure about this? I think it's like built after October 2020 not 2019. I have a 2021 NX built in September 2020 and it does not have Android Auto.

I think its unlikely. I believe it will require a different head unit. Besides that, what incentive does Lexus have to do this. They are in the business of selling cars and one way to do that is by enticing buyers with new features. Just my personal opinion, but I cannot see any auto manufacturer doing this on older model years unless the electronics are already there and it was just a simple firmware update.

Settled: our infotainment is trash as is Lexus support
Anyone tried this?

Seems like a good fit, but I've not heard anything about it.
