11184836[/url]]how long did it take for the app to update with the all the additional features after you contacted Lexus?
If the Remote Connect activation times out then it doesn’t have signal so you’ll need to get a new code. Mine did that once and then I saw the Odometer update so I got a new code and then it activated within a few minutes.

11184962[/url]]This is all I see in the app? When I called, they just said it would activate after I receive email confirmation. Maybe I screwed it up??
Did you activate your trials as you should see Odometer and Fuel level displayed along with the Start and Lock/Unlock buttons?
Until you see mileage and fuel levels it hasn’t made it to the railhead for shipment yet I’m my experience.
I’ve got it working now! Yeeesh! No updates since 12/8 and it was in Portland at that point
Glad it’s working!
The next update will probably be when it boards the train followed by it getting off the train.
The good news is that you’ll know which it is as if it’s not in Portland the next time it updates then it’ll be at the destination rail yard at which point it should be at the dealership within a day or two and you’ll know as the Last Parked Lication will update at every step.
Once it gets to the dealership you can then tell when the PDI is done as the tire pressures will drop from 50ish PSI to 35ish PSI.
Premium Pkg, heated steering wheel, headlight washers and cargo cover, no port installed options nor dealer add-ons. Paid MSRP of $58,535.00. It was the exact colors and options we wanted, with nothing extra that we didn't. I bought the Lexus floor liners, cargo rubber mat and cross bars (roof rack) at the parts counter. As soon as the Lexus hitch becomes available once again I'll purchase that, in the mean time I have a Curt to use. All GXs and most all other models are pre-sold before arriving at the dealership. We were fortunate to get ours in a relatively short time (deposit at the beginning of November), current wait time is 3 months or so. Our sales guy told us their dealership is forbidden by Lexus to add markup, unlike their sister Toyota dealership with ridiculous markups.
The finance department experience was not that great. The dealership is connected with the Toyota dealership, so we were brought to the Toyota finance department. As expected came the 'extras'. We brought a cashiers check for the full mount, like others here paying cash. This started out with our finance lady looking for some other ways to profit. She first asked how long we would keep our new GX, I replied maybe 2 years, depending where we move next in retirement. The expression turned a bit sour on her unmasked face, what came next explained it. She presented a work sheet with three rows of options. The first row on the left was labeled 'Premium', the second row 'Preferred', the third row to the right of the sheet the 'Essentials'. I was gobsmacked by the audacity of the prices for what amounted to crap for the most part.

The sales tactic plan is to show an obnoxious amount on the first row and as one reads to the right, the last option 'Essentials' would seem far more reasonable (relatively) and would still net $Ks in profits. If she could only see the smile (laughing at the absurdity) on my face under my mask. She was clearly unhappy with our refusal of the 'add-ons' and showed it. I just hope there is no vengeful retaliation such as messing up the paperwork, misplacing the money order, etc.

Probably not her idea to push the extras. It's a dealership thing. And it's end of year and extra pressure to close strong. I didn't take any of the extras. I paid MSRP and they held a bit on the trade, but I was surprised I could even get a GX with minimal nonsense.

Your GX is like mine but my interior is Ecru. Mine came with the all weather mats, polished tail pipe but I did have the dealership add the cross bars. Paid sticker plus state tax to Motor Vehicle. I got mine a week ago went through the signing ritual of refusing all of the dealer add on's. My finance guy did not seem upset at all from me turning down all of the dealer add on's. He also told me to bring the GX back in for free service at 5K and a free oil change at 10K. Also free loaner car with any scheduled service, which I have used for the last 25 years at my dealer. I would say that this was a very satisfying new car buy as there was very little haggling on my trade and none on the GX which was sticker. In the pre pandemic years of the past, my dealer would come off sticker but never as much as I wanted but I had to weigh the difference of buying out of state vs the saved dollars and would it be worth it. Anyway, I love the GX and am still learning how to operate all of the bells and whistles. The first time I drove it at night, I was surprised by the auto dimming headlights. I have never had hands free phone and found it very easy to use. Navigation is great. I have always used my cell phone in the past. Can't wait to take my first road trip with it.
I did it with mine last month and all I had was my name on the Lexus account with the VIN. They didn't seem to care. You lose a few days of your trials but it was worth it to me to track the vehicles progress. I knew it was at the dealership and done with the PDI before my salesman did LOL.
Lexus is pretty lax on the EnForm app security if you have access to all the functions, or am I missing something? All you need is the vin from the window sticker which is available for any new lexus advertised by a dealer. It will take one incident where a vehicle is remotely started that is sitting on the lot or valet mode is used to limit the speed or mileage for Lexus to tighten up security. The manual directs that the emergency connect button in the overhead center console be used to initially enable the app, this is likely a "Security Measure" but obviously there is a breach.
