Enform Removal of Apps
Just received this email from Lexus on my 2017 NX300h: I guess just like the other forum member experienced on his 2018 NX, we get several more apps removed rather than just pandora!
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.

Unfortunately, the more the tech world evolves the more "subscription based" everything gets. Lexus is relying on 3rd party api access for the apps so if that is discontinued or Lexus doesn't think its economical to pay potential fees for access things will get change around. Hopefully, a future update will add new features to replace the lose ones.
