Red SOS Light On All The Time?
I noticed tonight that my 2012 IS350C has a red SOS light that is staying on constantly and I have no idea what it means. All the manual says is to contact Lexus dealer. I do not have a Safety Connection subscription. Is there a way for me to check codes or other items to determine if I actually do have a problem?

Apparently it means you are no longer subcribed. Though yours is staying on. Indicates a malfunction of some sort.

I have a Safety Connect subscription now. In an effort to track this issue I decided to subscribe. I went through the process, called the 1-800 number and chatted with a rep which yielded no resolution. I can connect to Safety Connect when pressing the button in the car and all seems to be well, but they did say there was a problem, but no alerts. Also, I am not seeing my car in the "Lexus App." Since it is a 2012 it is not Enform enabled, but older technology. I will continue to update as I work the red SOS light.

The Enform APP is not receiving data from my car as best I can tell. I've had the APP installed for a month and nothing at all from the car.
Overall, I'm not worried and will have it checked when in for a normal service.
Regards.

The "SOS" text light is NOT supposed to stay on. The 3 second single red light coming on and they going off is normal.

From the owners Manual for applicable USA vehicles 2009 and up. A picture states SOS text is on always.
Safety Connect LED light Indicators:
When the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the red indicator light comes on for 2 seconds then turns off. Afterward, the green indicator light comes on, indicating that the service is active.
The following indicator light patterns indicate specific system usage conditions:
●Green indicator light on = Active service
●Green indicator light flashing = Safety Connect call in process
●Red indicator light (except at vehicle start-up) = System malfunction (contact your Lexus dealer)
●No indicator light (off) = Safety Connect service not active
/done. GL...
