What's the most convenient to send a destination address to 2018 LX? (1 Viewer)

Okay, I hope to send an address from my iphone to the 2018 LX navigation system, what's the most convenient way?

Just got this new-to-me LX, still not used to the mouse and navigation system; and I don't find an app that can achieve this. Any suggestions? Thanks

Unless there is something in the Entune App (which I don't think is supported any longer and I found to never really work well anyways) I think your only option is to use the stupid joystick thing if you want to use the factory nav or look into adding CarPlay via one of the aftermarket options.

Just use the phone to navigate. Address is already in there, maps are current, and super easy to use.

Amen. Plus traffic, Waze integration, etc. phone with Carplay is awesome.

The Lexus app can do that but I believe you need to be subscribed to the enform service.

With the enform service you can also talk to a live operator to find a place upload the address to your nav. You can only get this with some 2018 and newer vehicle that had the 4g hardware.

What I have found always works is to just press the talk say go to address and speak the address. It always works so far. Finding POI or random store names it had a hard time understanding. Except the nav can get stupid routing 3 left turns instead of one right turn kind of thing. But not bad enough to make me use the phone exclusively. My google app on iPhone can also glitch and would stop talking or stop navigating or you brushed the screen and mess it up, screen turns off. Some apps are too much bloat now. Just surprised there was not pop up ads yet. Once you get no cell then cannot look up places.

I know the mouse is not great but if it was touchscreen I cannot reach it to type anyway.

Thanks all, phone mount it is

Ordered ProClip, but due to its awkward positioning for 2018+ LX, opted to use an iOttie instead, which shall work fine for 99+% of time.

Another vote for a CarPlay adapter/replacement screen here. For that model year there are lots of options.
