Android Auto Coming to More Lexus Vehicles

Lexus should find a way to upgrade older models also. If third party can do it so should they.

Lexus, at least in the US, has a way of updated older models via a software update. There are forums on the internet, that has the downloadable files. I won't name any sites but you can grab them, follow the tsb and volia, apple carplay on 2018-Pre-Oct'19 models. I hope they do the same for Android Auto.

I'm waiting for it! I want to get my iPhone 6 retired and use my pixel 3 for my 2019 ES.

Hey guys, I just want to share quick news about Android Auto.
Seems like the Lexus Australia announced to update old model's technology.
"
Owners of the following models are eligible to have the technology retrofitted to their cars – it costs $249(AUD), and the work takes around an hour to complete:

• NX produced from September 1, 2017
• ES produced from July 4, 2018
• RC/RC F produced from November 27, 2017
• LC (all models)
• LS produced from January 8, 2018
• UX (all models)

"
Hopefully, it will be announced in the U.S. market soon
