Infotainment is a major factor for modern drivers. When you visit your Lexus dealer to test drive your new car, you will get a chance to explore the Lexus infotainment system and connective technologies that come standard with your specific model and trim.Â
How to Utilize Your Lexus Infotainment System Effectively
The best way to use the advanced infotainment features that come with your Lexus is to sync your smartphone with your vehicle. This can be done through standard Bluetooth wireless technology, by hooking up a USB cord, or by downloading smartphone-integrated apps like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
When your smartphone is connected to your infotainment system, it's a breeze to pull up your favorite playlist on Spotify or continue where you left off on Audible. Many Lexus models support standard wired or wireless compatibility with these apps so you can elevate your entertainment experience. But entertainment isn't the only appeal of your infotainment system: you can also use this technology to get insight into your vehicle status.
The Lexus App
The Lexus App is a great resource if you want to use remote vehicle features, such as unlocking or locking your far door, locating where you last parked your vehicle, starting the engine, and so much more. Certain remote vehicle features, like monitoring guest drivers or checking the status of your vehicle, may only be available when your model is compatible with the Enform Remote on the Lexus App.
One of the main functions of the Lexus App is generating a Vehicle Health Report. This report provides real-time data about the status and performance of your vehicle, which can be used to enhance the service you get at your local dealership or remind you when it's time to schedule service. The Lexus App also works with other services and subscriptions, such as Remote Connect.
The Lexus Interface
Models like the LC 500 are equipped with a sophisticated 12.3-inch touchscreen display for the Lexus Interface system. This infotainment technology combines the convenience of a voice-activated virtual assistant with cloud-based technology. With this system, you can use your voice to command your infotainment system and enjoy a three-year trial for cloud-based navigation.
How Can Your Lexus Dealer Help?
If online tutorials from the manufacturer aren't cutting it, you can always drop by your local dealer to speak with Lexus experts. At your dealership, you can get in-person guidance on how to use infotainment features, schedule manual software updates, or even upgrade your connectivity technology. If you want to extend your subscription for Safety Connect features after your three-year trial ends, you can set this up at your dealership, as well.
Staying connected and entertained on the road is easier than ever when you drive a modern Lexus. Drop by Lexus of Fort Wayne in Fort Wayne, IN to experience these infotainment features today.
