Default Send to Car not working

Hey guys,

I am trying to send locations to my car from the Lexus App on my iPhone without any luck. I don't have to be sitting in the car with the phone connected?

Thanks for the response. I don't know what is wrong with my setup. I can perform all the remote functions but I can't send destination to the car.

saw this on line


If the Lexus app isn't sending destinations to your car, first
confirm your car's navigation system is on and ensure your phone is paired with the car via Bluetooth, as this is often required for the connection. Also, check your phone and in-app notification settings to make sure that push notifications and vehicle alerts are enabled for the Lexus app. If the problem persists, verify the app and vehicle are linked under your account by following the on-screen instructions to register a new profile, and confirm you're looking for the destination in the correct place within the app's "Find" menu.
1. Check Device and App Settings
  • Phone Notifications:Go to your phone's settings and ensure that notifications are allowed for the Lexus app.
  • App Notifications:Open the Lexus app, go to the "Account" section, then "Notification Settings," and enable Push notifications and Vehicle Alerts.
  • Bluetooth Pairing:Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is on and successfully paired with your Lexus vehicle.
2. Verify Vehicle and App Connectivity
  • Car Nav On:Make sure your car's navigation system is turned on and the ignition is engaged.
  • Linked Accounts:In the Lexus app, go to the "Account" section and verify that your vehicle is properly linked by registering a new profile under "Multimedia Profiles" and scanning the QR code from the car's head unit, if prompted.
3. Confirm Destination Sending Method
  • Use the "Find" Menu:In the Lexus app, tap "Find" on the home screen, then "Destinations" to search for a location.
  • Confirm Destination Sent:After selecting a location, use the "Send to car" option and watch for a confirmation message in the app and on the car's screen.
4. Update and Troubleshoot
  • App & Vehicle Software:Check for and install any available software updates for your Lexus app and your vehicle's multimedia system.
  • Restart Devices:Try restarting both your phone and your vehicle to resolve temporary glitches.

Thanks for the info. I saw the same list on Google created by AI so it is mostly accurate. 😀. I verified everything on more time just to make sure.

I am receiving the verification via the app after sending it but it never shows up.

Thanks again.

I have noticed the same thing recently.
my workaround in the app is to add destination to favorites. It seems to be always there in the car when I need it.

Are you using an iPhone and did you update to IOS 26? I have not updated yet and I am able to send destinations to the car as always, wondering if IOS26 is the issue.

iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS26. Maybe it is an iOS36 issue.

There's an iOS 26.0.1 version out already that fixes some bugs, including wifi and bluetooth. Make sure you have the update, just in case that's your issue.
