I hope you all get the update soon. Bought my 2024 NX 350h a couple weeks ago and it has the expand/contract option in CarPlay at the top left just like the video from lsft shows (BTW, lsft your videos and channel was VERY helpful when I was deciding on this vehicle, keep up the amazing work!).
I love it, it's a great way to get back to the Lexus menus -- sometimes I use CarPlay full screen, sometimes I don't. In my previous car you had to click the manufacturer "app" icon and it was a pain to switch between the Car's OS and CarPlay, but the Toyota/Lexus expand/contract option is a perfect solution that's easy to quick swap.
You'll love it when you get it!

My 2022 NX 450+ also still on 2050 Still waiting for them to fix the Amazon issue got car July 2022 Giving voice commands for Lexus to play amazon playlist worked great till November 2022 THEN Stopped after MANY visits to Dealer, and contact with Lexus Headquarters was told a software update would fix the issue in the future WELL now April 2024 still no fix. Guess the good thing is everything else works great. Unfortunately the Amazon issue was a feature we used frequently

Says I’m UTD
[QUOTE=lsft;11665227]Seems like the last update where the US folks get the update first and then Canada gets it later.
Must be why mine says I’m UTD. I’m in the US but my Lexus is a Canadian transplant, unfortunately no one told my Lexis it crossed the border. I’ll never buy a vehicle that was owned in Canada again. What a headache!

I am still on 2050 with my 2022 NX450+ Based what I saw in the video I hope they do not PUSH to me. I am not interested in "Losing Real estate" as the guy in the video put it. Looks Like would decrease the size of the screen maybe half inch? Totally not interested in what is considered by some an improvement. Just not for me

I feel that since 2 members purchased MY 2024 and they came with the update, it will be rolled out to us 2022-24 owners later on. I would have been concerned if this feature was on the 2025 MY. Then I feel like Lexus left us high and dry and it would only be available one the MY 2025+.

Awesome! I'm excited to get my update as soon as possible. I'm also looking forward to @lsftvideo explaining the changes.
