Default Lexus Enform App Suite | Third-Party Applications Products & Support Update

Just got this email from Lexus in relation to my 2013- I would like to think they are kidding but I know their not!

Dear Lexus Guest,

Thank you for being a Lexus Enform App Suite customer.

As technology and markets change, third party application providers continuously evolve their products and services. On or around November 13th, 2018 a multimedia system update will appear on your vehicle display. After completion, Pandora®, OpenTable®, and Facebook Places will no longer be available in Lexus Enform App Suite, as these products and services will no longer be supported by the third party application providers.

In your Lexus, you can still enjoy Pandora® and other popular music applications via Bluetooth or USB connection. For your device’s compatibility and pairing instructions, please visit Lexus Mobile Link or Bluetooth FAQs. For additional inquires regarding Lexus Enform App Suite changes, click here.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please contact the Lexus Guest Experience Center at 1-800-255-3987Monday – Friday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, or Saturday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern Time.

Sincerely,


Lexus Enform Guest Supp

I received the email today....guess Lexus is killing off Enform apps slowly, I say go ahead and shoot them...BUT not before implementing a backwards compatible CarPlay upgrade!

p.s. any idea if Pandora will be removed from the audio source selection list?
