I have a '16 ES350 and I find the Lexus App Suite quirky. When it works it's a nice convenience but all too often it doesn't. This weekend I had a 600mi drive and all I got on the screen was "system busy", there was no issue with the phone. I ended up using Android Auto through my phone instead.
Has anyone figured out if it is possible to add Android Auto to the Lexus system?

Lexus is not planning on supporting Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Rather you have to download to your phone Telenav Scout GPS to your phone and that will work with the Lexus nav system. I know the app is on the App Store but I don't know if it is in Google Play or not.

Oh, and to connect to the Lexus's built-in apps you need to download the Lexus Enform app and let that connect to your Lexus system via Bluetooth. That works well, but other than the music streaming such as Slacker and iHeart Radio, I don't use the other Enform apps.

I have the Enform App, I was logged in and when I went to iHeart Radio all it gave me was a system busy message.

I'm also aware that Lexus was not planning on Car Play or Android Auto. I was just curious if anyone found a work around

Thanks for the ideas

The closest work-around I've seen is from Beat Sonic at http://www.beatsonicusa.com. Connect your phone and mirror it to the nav display. Seems to work well based on videos and reviews I've seen...but I do not have any experience with such.
