Hello, I am new to Lexus and still getting used to everything the vehicle has. Through playing around with the menu I get offered the chance to "sign in" to Lexus, but the link to sign up doesn't work anymore - what is this for? I think I also get prompted to sign in when I try to access the 3D maps?

I think you need your phone connected via usb to use the phone's roaming connection to get online for these to be accessed or subscribe for a sim card to use the the local wifi hotspot box in the boot compartment.  From what I hear, the lexus app isn't particular worth having and I just use apple play via my phone.

I remember faffing around to get this to work as well, from what I remember you need to set up an account online, get a password and then enter that into the car.

The only feature this provides (as far as I am aware) is enabling real time traffic data when you have your phone tethered via Bluetooth.

Yes, that's right Andrew.  It's not really worth having imho as using WAZE or apple Maps seems to work better then the inbuilt satnav (which has already got confused once, forcing me to plug the phone in and switch to apple Maps, which was faultless).  Lexus offered to sell me a sim card with a code which plugs into the wifi module in the rear right boot compartment somewhere, log in online and activate the card tied to my account/vehicle but I passed on that.

The pre-face lift models don't have that option, they can only access the internet via either wifi (pretty pointless in a moving car) or via Bluetooth tethering.
