Emergency Communication System?
Anyone know what the Lexus Emergency Communication System is?
When I owned a Mazda CX-5, apparently it worked with your cell phone and somehow dialed a number if some type of emergency occurred! No one was ever able to come forward with details or what it dialed..Sounds like it's too good to be true, especially since nobody ever asked for a reference number! ie: Police, Fire dept...

Safety Connect uses embedded GPS and cellular signals to signal for help if an airbag has been deployed or a severe rear-end collision has been detected. In a case where the system isn’t activated automatically, an occupant of the vehicle can use the Emergency Assistance Button (SOS) to contact emergency services manually. The SOS button can also be used to contact Roadside Assistance in the event of a break down. If the vehicle is ever stolen, once a police report has been filed, the Stolen Vehicle Location feature may be activated to locate the car – think of it as a factory Lo-Jack system.

Thank you!
Safety Connect features four main safety and security features: Roadside Assistance, Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), Automatic Collision Notification (ACN) and Stolen Vehicle Location (SVL).

Sounds like the Mazda system. However, Mazda does NOT have a Safety Connect type system. Oh well, I have the RX now, but do not think I will be activating the Safety Connect.
