Alexa support
I installed the update yesterday on a 2018 NX300 Panasonic head unit it took about 1 hour. However I do not see the Alexa feature added how do you add that? Also does anybody have the files necessary to place on a USB drive to update the maps to the latest available version?

Guys, I've updated my 2019 NX300 (Pre-Oct) and everything went super-well.
I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but now it's completed.
Couple of things:
1) Use FAT32 format for USB. Put all the files in the root folder
2) Find a nice quiet place where you can keep your car running
3) Be patient and follow the manual
Also, my e-Owners Manual did not reset and all my setting are in place.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

Are you talking about carplay language or enform 2.0 language? Carplay's language is based on your iphones language. So if your iphone's language is Chinese, then carplay will be displayed in Chinese. Enform 2.0, there is a place where you can change the language on the system.. whatever language it shows you, those will be it.

Hey everybody!
First, I wanted to say that everyone here is braver than I am with regard to this kind of stuff. Just wanted to let you know that Lexus contacted the forum about this thread, and they weren't all that stoked about it. What you do is up to you — obviously — but I wanted to post these sentences from the email:
"We noticed a Club Lexus forum post that includes a link to download the CarPlay update files that are now available at dealers. We understand that some owners would prefer to attempt this update themselves, but they are risking serious damage to their systems that will not be covered under warranty if they do so."
Just wanted to keep everyone aware. As you were.

Not CarPlay, the Lexus multimedia display files. As I am a French-Canadian, just wandering if the zip-file is applicable to all and in multiple languages or if they are specific to the US market. Is there any files (from Lexus) for the specific markets or if these are a “one size fits all” solution upgrade files ? Looking for the French (Canada) and metric system in it

Also isn't it funny how we are risking serious damage when the dealer is installing the update same way via the instructions that are on the toyota site... If the dealer bricks the headunit they replace as per the instructions...lol Totally get the potential for bricking something but at the same time, I don't think it's as dire as they make it out to be. This is coming from someone that has always rooted their phones, updated other car system, upgrades IT equipment worth many many times over what this head unit costs and normally is more of a complicated process.. The directions seem rather straight forward to me. Use a quality thumb drive that is properly formatted and has the correct files in the root directory. The car does the rest.. then reinstall the owners manual if need be. On a scale of 1-10 for hardness this definitely looks like a 1.5 to me.

Did the update yesterday and worked like a charm. I even stopped at the step 10 and restarted the update later, because I had to use the car. Also did the eManual update following the instructions.

Dealer Cost for Upgrade
I contacted my dealer and they do have the upgrade to Apple Car Play.. Invited me to make an appointment which would take two hours. The fee is $199 plus tax.
OY!
