Destination Assist and 3G
own a 2013 ES 300h. Lexus advised me that Destination Assist would no longer be supported in my vehicle (as of January, 2022) since this feature relies on 3G mobile networks. Anyone else get this notification and know of any possible work around?

All phones and cars that connect with the 3G towers are going to be off line next year.
M/B, BMW, Lexus and no doubt others are affected and have published position statements
that they are not committing any efforts to upfit, backfit, retrofit any older systems.

post-3G technologies were on the horizon.
Wonder what other electronic-technologies will otherwise become obsolete making the car less enjoyable. 140k miles and still enjoying it..
