Good information. The system works good. I'm just surprised it doesn't have apple play, but at the same time I use Spotify for all music so current system works just fine. I just purchased the RX 350 F Sport Monday and so far I Looooove it
Thank you, I thought something was wrong with my controller, I see now it is just a little bit loose. It will keep my 65 year old brain working! Good Video!!
Great review as always. You're part of the minority for actually not having an issue with the Lexus joystick and touchpad interfaces. It baffles me because in my opinion they are actually quite straightforward and easy to use for anyone used to living in the 21st century, yet most reviewers I've come across just downright hate both of them..coincidentally they are almost always older folks and those that would probably struggle operating a microwave.. Guess in Japan most people are up to date with technology.
I heard that using the mouse as opposed to a touchscreen can be distracting because it takes your eyes off the road for too long. What is your opinion?
Nope. I've had the RX 350 2010, 2013 and just about to get a 2016. Most of the time when I rent cars, they have touch screens. You get used to the snapping sensation when moving the mouse around and the cursor lands on a button. It feels more natural to have my arm on the center arm reset and the mouse at my fingers than it does to have to reach out to touch the screen.
The remote touch is fine for right hand people but in Europe we have to use left hand to operate this which is very difficult. I keep on missing the target specially when driving, tried to increase the force feedback but still not good. Any idea or easy way out need help. Love the infotainment system other wise. I have got the 2016 RX 450h
Remarkably, the backup camera dims at night, meaning that you are unable to see objects that you might want to avoid. Lack of Android Auto means that I won't soon be buying another Lexus.
Want to buy a 2017 Lexus GS 300h. Thanks for the input about the Infotainment. Seems to be not that bad as everyone makes it.
Does Lexus (Toyota) still "lock you out" of navigation inputs while the vehicle is in motion and/or not in Park?
when and why did they stop using touchscreens?
Screen location is way further front
Finally! be able to see the full names on the video screen.

Any chance you will be able to review the 2016 VW Golf base model with manual transmission?

Bigger doesn't mean better because the graphics and user interface is still horrible
Is the screen always split into half? Can you just have the music content displayed like you showed the navigation in the beginning?
3 videos at the same time!

+Hakeem Al-Kazak you mean consumer report?

Yes Britain sorry,
@ 2:47 Show me how to get the artist name and song please. I don’t get that on mine.
Nice little vid! One thing though, the cars reads text "out loud " not "aloud".
love everything about the RX but this infotainment system . it feels like you are using a oldschool nokia while everybody else already using iphone .
No Carplay & Android Auto integration ???
+Vincent MARLIAC those work best on touch screens
how do you move position of map without the big banners that keep popping up?
do you know when they comes in the is ?
how's the sound quality of the system? is it better than competition?
+joe TheBet Most luxury crossovers are about the same to be honest.

its hd not 4k its still 1080p without option for 2160p (4K)
I wish you would have shown the satellite radio view.
I think my is 350 2012 touch screen is better. Have updated it with carplay.
Fuk! Lexus for not bringing this version of their infotainment, hardware and software, to their IS or RC models!
👌👌😌
There's no (Lexus app suite) in Middle East :(
using this for 2 weeks it is the WORST interface i've ever used. absolute trash
Nice try Lexus..! 😄 -from BMW iDrive
Excuse me but remember the BMW stolen rear camera from Lexus ^_^
+MrLiberali pardon me, but AFAIK the first car with reverse camera was Buick in 1956. Nice try again Lexus.. 😊
