Lexus subscriptions??

[beyond the blue]

My ES is two years old. I know that after three years from new the complimentary roadside assistance ends but what happens to the Lexus link vehicle tracking facility and the SOS safety system, does it become subscription based, and if so what are the costs in the UK?

My car was registered March 2020, the location feature on the Lexus app still works for me. Only until the 11th January though when I am getting rid of the car

Not As Far As I Am Aware..........Roadside assistance However will have to be paid Though BUT Depending on what kind of Bank Account you have you might get Free Breakdown cover which incidentally is covered by the AA As Was Your lexus Roadside Assist for the first Two Years.....Hope that helps  ps... If you are not covered i think its around £135 for 1 Year Through lexus..

Lexus are a bit vague about what features are part of which service but I believe that feature is part of connected services which is provided for 10 years from when the vehicle was first registered. For my wife's UX the initial three year map update subscription has expired but Lexus Link including location still works.

My roadside assistance is for 3 years not 2 years, then l will continue with the AA. I intend to get a Ghost 2 fit shortly but just wondering if the tracker will work in future. Thanks for the reply.

l am going to have a chat with my nearest (Oldham) Autotech franchise to make sure the Ghost 2 is suitable for the ES. As for a tracker system, that is the reason for my question as to whether the Lexus link tracker will continue to work after the manufacturers warranty ends after the car is 3 years old. I will probably wait and see if and when it stops working before having an independent tracker fitted.

Hi Neil, isn’t the warranty 10 years if you get it serviced at a dealership ?

No, how it works is you get 3 years manufacturers warranty from new and then it changes to Relax Warranty for each year after that, Relax warranty isn't as comprehensive as manufacturers warranty.
