New Infotainment System-US only at present


 Share

Recommended Posts

Too little and too late.

It is now possible to buy infotainment systems to replace the ones in our cars that on paper at least are much better than what Lexus so far have made, with free update of navigation and possible DAB+.

Even if the new system is as good I am pretty sure that Lexus will make both the system and the updates expensive.

Lexus make good cars and Mark Levinson good audio. Software 🥵 😤 👎

As they said, arriving first on the NX - and that's worldwide. Expect to see it being fitted to all of the models being released going forward.

We will have to see - hopefully that is the case. However a model being worldwide doesn't mean the infotainment system is the same. They have to use different headunits in different territories, and the RX, GS, IS are all worldwide vehicles but the US has always had a different and more capable system to what we get in the UK.

Video here:

 I personally am not a fan of taking your eyes off the road to try to use use a touchscreen in a moving, bouncing vehicle. I sometimes feel I need a 'wrist rest' to steady my hand, as I'm touching the wrong icon all the time. I wonder if, in a few years time, we'll look back on touchscreens as just the latest example of groupthink?. Physical buttons (correctly made and placed!) for me are more tactile and enjoyable, and ergonomically more sound and safer.

I agree John. I owned a BMW 3 series M Sport before I got my RC300h several years ago, the rotary wheel (where the LC has the trackpad) was superfast and nice and tactile. Maybe premium cars should go back to physical buttons and touchscreens for everyone else?😁
