A touch screen would be even better although using the current screen location it would only be good for drivers with arms like Orangutans or Gibbons! They'd need to re-think the dash layout to bring the screen closer to the driver. Perhaps they have on the new RX?

BIG NEWS - Lexus Australia has now confirmed that the UX will have AC and AA before the end of the year for both new and existing owners and that Lexus are finalising plans for the technology to other models including the aforementioned before years end. There’s no mention, yet, of cost, what models are covered and how it will be implemented but it’s coming to Oz soon.
The good news is that Europe and Australia are often aligned with models and tech. To date, Australia has not had AC and AA either so maybe the technology is getting closer for release to Europeans models too.🤞
Lexus UK still, as we all know, are saying nothing but they have been recently suggesting it’s a high priority for the business. Maybe where Lexus Australia go we’ll be right behind them.
The Australian part may be good news. I downsized from a GS300h to a UX250h last month. CarPlay would be great as Waze is far better on congestion than built in satnav. But UX touchpad works really well and allows the screen to be further away than a touch screen, plus you don’t have all those fingerprints to wipe off. Also, unlike the GS and the C-class Merc that preceded it, the car recognises voice instructions for destinations, particularly postcodes, which the GS never did.
What! No CarPlay!?!
