Yep, I had my 300h serviced just before the lock down and the dealer confirmed it will be May or June. They couldn’t confirm a cost as it depends what Lexus will charge them. I can’t see any benefit in trying out a third party especially from a dodgy dealer in China!

Just to follow up - I phoned my local dealer and asked about it and they said it will be available around May / June.  Didn't discuss price. He told me we have to plug in the phone using the front USB ports to use it - that means we are back on the subject of having that damn flap open all the time! Unless I can get that low profile USB cable mentioned on here...

Apparently my car which I got in March 2019 is an ES1 and this years are referred to as ES2 and have Carplay and AA built in.

On a side note I have had 2 hire cars recently one of which was a low spec Seat Leon which had AA and a touch screen! I was wonderful and worked really well! I am even more mystified why a premium brand Lexus still has no touch screen, or even last year AA and car play.

so Is everyone else in the car industry, except for the Lexus designers 🙂

Maybe Lexus can logo them up and charge £20:-)

Peter - Mine is registered and the only thing I can do is see my service history and send destinations to the sat nav. Find my car doesn’t work!

Hey Keith

The question if apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be retrofitted to UK ES models is pretty much covered under the thread below. I would go to the last page as this will answer your question 😀
 

So an update on my sensor issues. The car went in for it’s 10k service last week. Before it went in there were really playing up in the rain or just a very damp morning. I asked the dealer ahead of the service to look at them. They did and couldn’t find any faults.

However since the service I haven't had an issue with them at all! This includes heavy rain etc...

Maybe your’s will magically repair themselves after a service:-)

I got the same from a dealer today ... it will be introduced with the ES (MY20), sometime in Q1 next year, perhaps with the new prices.   He didn't know if it would be backward compatible, but had heard rumours ... seems like the waiting game goes on.....

and according to the Lexus website it’s available for us with the 8” screen. I can’t believe it’s not backwards compatible as the cars are shipped from Japan where AC & AA has been standard since October 2018.

Hi all

Took delivery of my ES in August this year. I have the same issue with my parking sensors and yes it only happens in the rain. Cleaning them doesn’t work and you have to live with the flashing orange lights! All was fine up to about 5-6k and then it started playing up.

The car is in for it’s first 10k service next week and I’ve highlighted the problem to the dealer. Let’s see if they manage to fix it!!

It appears that this may be an inherent fault with the car.
