Traffic updates not reliable, how about Google traffic
Where does our traffic info on the Nav come from, satellite radio? How long is it free for -bought my car in July and still have it?
Is there a way to somehow get Google maps and traffic on the screen with our phones or an app? Google traffic is updated much more quickly on roadway conditions and Lexus, and is far more accurate. I am very disappointed with the Navigation traffic -almost useless.

Search the forums here. There is at least one solution to tie your phone into the Nav screen. It involves installing 3rd part hardware in behind your dash.

As far as I know all of these existing 3rd party solutions are for the previous generation Lexus navigation system (pre-2013)... ?
