Software Update includes the following improvements:®

User Profile
User Interface
Cloud Navigation
Intelligent assistant voice recognition
Bug fixes

Version: 2050

This video should apply to the RX as well:

So what do you do if you don't have a data plan for the car - you have to pair the car with your WiFi at home and launch the update from the infotainment unit?

You don't need a data plan for the OTA update (we never even did the trial). It may require one of Lexus' other plans but the car comes with 3 years on those so not an issue right now. You could always use WiFi if necessary.

It just did it, my carplay was connected but don't think it used my phone to do download. Only thing I noticed is the new graphic for the AWD wheels..

Leave the car running. Why risk it for the 10 minutes it takes? You could drive while it updates if you want, the radio still works. The updates won’t take effect until you restart the car though.
