Hi Guys,
I just got an email today that they are going to stop Lexus Enform services for 2012 Model by October 31, 2022.
Do I have any other option than Enform? Can Lexus dealer upgrade Wireless Technology module in my car?
Any thoughts? TIA

Here is the email I got today.What’s Happening

As wireless technology continues to evolve, telecommunications providers in North America are making significant changes to their legacy communications infrastructures and network capabilities. Certain telecommunication providers have elected to terminate 3G wireless services which will impact available services for motor vehicles.

How This Will Impact Services in Your Lexus Vehicle

Your 2012 Lexus GX 460 offers available Lexus Enform services that rely on access to 3G wireless networks.

As of October 31, 2022, at 11:59PM CST, the following available Lexus Enform subscription services will be terminated:





• Lexus Enform Safety Connect®1 including Automatic Collision Notification, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Emergency Assistance Button and Stolen Vehicle Locator.



• Lexus Enform Destination Assist2 including 24-hour live response center agents.


Starting September 1, 2021, available Lexus Enform subscription services will only be available as monthly subscriptions for your vehicle. You can subscribe to or renew your available Lexus Enform subscription services through September 30, 2022 via the Lexus app.

I got the same email yesterday and today the automatic renewal charges $80 for another year of Enform. I will probably do monthly until the last day for peace of mind.

 

I plan to renew mine until the end as well.

 

I got the same e-mail on Friday about my 2017 GX. We tend to use remote start more in the winter months, so will likely keep the subscription for the next year.

While I know this issue is not unique to Lexus, I am a bit bummed there is not an option to upgrade.
