Lexus Enform 2.0 to update with Apple CarPlay
#167
Should be FREE at the time of 5k or 10k checkup. I hope they wont charge me, just because its not fair, but you never know.

It's not an over the air update. So the technician shouldn't get paid for their hour of time? Do you like to work for free at your job? It will not include Android Auto. It's Apple Carplay and Amazon Alexa.

I honestly don't know. I assumed they clock in and out at the beginning and end of the shift.

Tech will be paid by a dealership. Dealership should eat the cost because Lexus decided to penalize first 19 owners by not providing Carplay. Should be treated like FREE recall. Some of us bought car early and they made the money and if everyone paid attention and sellers specify about carplay (they didnt to make a commission as no one would take preOctober) , they would have plenty of pars in the lot

Techs get paid by the job, represented in hours. So replacing a water pump may pay 2.3 hours (or whatever), but how long it takes them may be different. The majority in the automotive industry get paid this way. Yes they get paid for warranty work as the dealership can bill the manufacturer. But in this case, there's nothing "broken" that would be covered by warranty.
Trust me, I think it would be great if your dealership covers this for free and still pays the tech. But didn't you buy the car knowing it didn't have Carplay? Not trying to sound crass here, just realistic.
On another note, I'm very glad automakers are starting to put in modular systems. Allowing them to upgrade in the future. Most people are use to their smartphones being updated this way. But automotive systems historically haven't had this capability.

Just spoke to Northside Lex in Houston super friendly tech gal- apple carplay software to begin retro install on at least all 2019 models in mid-May. They will send out emails to schedule. Cars with navigation will take 1 1/2 hours, non-navigation vehicles 1 hour. No charge. My wife is beside herself, although I cannot figure out why. But if she's happy,.....
