I installed it about 2 months ago. It did not do anything for Apple Car Play not connecting every time. I still experience having to turn off car start again to get it to connect about maybe 10% of the time. However I have two profiles for the car Mine and my wife's I found that if the car is locked and then unlocked (opened) by the person using the car it never has an issue connecting.

They would probably only do an update if one was actually pending on the car itself and prompted on startup. I'm still on 2050, no update available. I thought someone mentioned that the newer release stopped being pushed out for some reason.

I guess I have to wait for Lexus to get to my VIN.

My mistake, I meant 2170. Edited my original post to fix, thanks!
I tried the manual update method this morning via USB stick, and the Lexus webpage states "Your Vehicle’s Interface System has the latest update",
So they must have removed 2170 for now.

My understanding is the updates are done by VIN on the database. However, I don't know how Lexus adds it to their system. That's why I ask you to go to your dealership to check. 2170 has been out for a while. Might need the tech specialist at your dealership to look into it.

On my recent visit to the dealership, I asked the head mechanics how often Lexus pushed updates to the infotainment system (compared to Genesis, which was once a quarter). He mentioned that they have one every 1.5 to 2 years only.
I was very surprised, but he mentioned that they only make a few changes once a vehicle is released.
