Well, surprise, surprise! I received a loaner 2020 RX 350 yesterday & discovered it not only has Apple CarPlay, but also the full SXM channel lineup! We got to listen to RockBar, Channel 313, our favorite & had ZERO reception issues!
The down side of all of that, is that Lexus changed the mouse system to a touchpad that is 10X worse than the mouse!!clicking on anything while driving is a nightmare. Finding Apple CarPlay in the menu was a bit of a pain also & it shouldn’t have been.
I also noted another really annoying change: the car dings when you go over “what-it-thinks-is-the-speed-limit”! Often the posted speed is higher than what is programmed into the car. There were many other issues that would make me NOT buy a 350, but that will need to go in another post.
