What is up with Lexus falling behind in technology to lesser brands. I own a 2018 gs350 f sport with ML audio system. I used to connect my iPhone thru usb and listen to my music. Although I wished it would mirror my phone screen for navigation like so many cars out there, I was willing to live with the inconvenience. Recently I switched to an android phone and now when i connect my phone via usb, the system doesn't even recognize the device so now I have to listen to my music thru bluetooth. Some people may not recognize the difference but to my ears its night and day. It's like listening to FM radio vs CD. I know the 2020 models come with mirrorlink but lexus should do their customers a solid and
update older models to be compatible with android phones.
