Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not offered, and TeleNav's Scout which Toyota will be using is not yet implemented.

2012 non-navi looks like this:



And 2013 non-navi looks like this:



There would be more luck with the latter considering the quality of the screen.

I also got a response from Lexus -

Calling Lexus is an utter waste of time. They're so high up in CYA that no such technology will be allowed to exist.
Just imagine the lawsuits that will follow from Toyota drivers that have no idea how to put a car in N if it happens to accelerate unexpectedly.
Most OEM functions are blocked while driving, which gets very frustrating, particularly when you have a passenger ready to alter the destination.

My Audi does has no block-outs while moving (except movies), which is just fine by me.
