Software update

[Huwman]

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to get Navigation System-linked Display on a 2024 NX, it is mentioned in the handbook (if equipped - I have Takumi spec so was hoping I had everything) and I saw it on a YouTube video - it shows the turn by turn instructions from your apple CarPlay navigation app on the dashboard and HUD.

Mine only does that when using Lexus Navigation, but not when using Waze. I haven't tried Google Maps yet to see if that works in the HUD?

On my NX, it works with apple CarPlay and apple Maps - the next turn (ie turn right) and distance will display in the driver display and HUD (possibly not if you have the minimal HUD view). It does not work with Google Maps on CarPlay - just apple Maps in my experience.

I posted info on 26 February that should help you. Hopefully, having gone through the steps you've already taken, it won't be too bigger step to do the reset. Good luck.

So I did the full reset and finally things seem to be talking again. I had to do a couple of re-registrations with the app before the car finally started greeting me by name again, not requiring me to accept the terms each time and remembering preferences for driver assist and the meter layout. It seems that things like radio presets didn't get automatically restored and there is a gap in journeys shown in the app between applying the software update and finally getting communications restored. Also a couple of journeys today haven't shown up yet (the last 2 are there, but 2 before that are missing, several others today are then there).

I never got around to performing the update, mainly as I couldn’t face taking the time sorting out the issues with things being busy at home.

The car has now stopped offering the update, so I am not sure if Lexus have pulled it to resolve issues or the car has given up. 

Is anyone else still being prompted to update?

I rang the dealer yesterday, the service manager said Lexus are working on a fix and we should in a few weeks whether it neede an over the air update or not. 

Randomly thought I'd try to send a text message through Siri today and it worked perfectly (whilst driving). Then tried the same but via WhatsApp this evening (not driving) and that also worked perfectly. Recipient confirmed received as intended.

Checked software version and it's still showing a v. 2.50. So nothing physical has changed, they must have made changes at the Lexus back-end? Be interested to see if this is a permanent fix and if others find their issues now resolved?

Is this still working?

Yes, mine is working fine now. Did you try turning off the multimedia with long press of the volume button on the console, then restarting it again? Think someone posted this as a potential fix on another thread?

My 350h (72reg) is still on 2040 and states that 'no software updates are available'; did the 2050 version get pulled by Lexus?

 

2nd Q; is there anything in 2050 of tangible benefit?

Was your Siri text issue where Siri didn’t read back before sending so you weren’t sure what went ?  I had that and the issue was an apple problem - I updated iOS to a beta and it sorted it. Did your phone have an update ?  I’m asking in case the issue repeats

I haven’t performed any updates (iOS 17.4.1 on Iphone 14 Pro) and the Siri text read back has been working for the last couple of weeks. It was previously not working on 17.4.1 and I haven’t been able to update the car either as it is no longer offering the 2050 update to me. 
 

I am assuming that the issue was a server side one at either apple or Lexus and they’ve updated something which has corrected it as it has been flawless now it is working

Siri wasn't following the expected commands, sending rubbish to recipients and not reading back before sending. Everything is now fine and I did nothing at my end with Iphone or Car to fix it, unless the simple turn the multi-media system off and on with the button depress did some sort of reset to fix it?

Mine shows this, but it also says no update available . If I try and update it I get a message about contacting the dealer, so maybe I have the latest update?.

Everything is working fine for me though, so not sure if I am missing out. I did notice there are no historical updates as show in the video earlier in the post, but that may be a US specific thing?

That’s the Navigation Settings, we’re talking about the vehicle software with this issue. It’s under Settings/Software update. Under Model Info it shows what version you are on. I’m on 2050, so the same version before and after the issue has been resolved.

Ah apologies, just checked mine and it’s 2150, so mine must have been updated…
