Can my Lexus Safety Connect-equipped vehicle be upgraded to Lexus Enform?

Back to top ACTIVATION

If I purchase a Lexus Enform with Safety Connect-equipped new or used vehicle, when will my complimentary trial subscription begin?
Your complimentary trial begins when you purchase your new vehicle, and lasts for one year. A Lexus Pre-Owned Vehicle that is less than one year old may have remaining trial subscription if your purchase was made within the one-year trial period. You may be enrolled by your Lexus dealer, or contact the Lexus Enform response center at 1-800-25-LEXUS to accept the remainder of the trial.

Can I include payment for additional years of subscription with my lease or purchase contract?
Yes. You can include payment for additional years of subscription into your Lexus Financial Services lease or purchase contract. This is a convenient way to ensure you have the security of Safety Connect and added convenience of Lexus Enform.

Should I provide a credit card if I only plan to use the complimentary service?
Though a credit card is not required to enjoy your complimentary trial, providing one ensures that there is no lapse in security or convenience coverage at the end of your trial period.

I provided my credit card during the trial subscription. Will I be automatically renewed and my credit card charged?
Yes. Providing a credit card during the trial subscription ensures worry-free automatic renewal at the end of your trial period. You will be notified with a friendly reminder one month prior to auto-renewal, at which time you may select to opt-out of renewing your subscription.

If my paid subscription doesn't start until after my trial period ends, why am I charged for a multiyear subscription today instead of a year from now at the end of my trial?
Purchasing a prepaid multiyear subscription ensures continuity for your safety and convenience services. Discounts are available for multiyear purchases.

Will my Lexus Enform and Safety Connect services be active by the time my vehicle arrives at the dealership?
Yes, vehicles equipped with Lexus Enform and/or Safety Connect will arrive pre-activated.

Back to top SUBSCRIPTION

I purchased a Lexus Enform and/or Safety Connect equipped-Lexus vehicle and would now like to purchase a subscription plan. What can I do?
Equipped Lexus vehicles will arrive with factory-installed systems. During a pre-delivery inspection, your Lexus dealer will verify that your vehicle is properly equipped and then simply enroll you via an online system. Call 1-800-25-LEXUS.

If I purchase a multiyear Lexus Enform and/or Safety Connect subscription and then purchase a new vehicle and want to transfer the service, will I still receive my first year complimentary trial subscription on the new vehicle?
Yes. A complimentary trial period comes with every Lexus Enform or Safety Connect-equipped new-vehicle purchase. Rather than a transfer of service, however, your prior subscription will be cancelled, any remaining balance will be refunded to you, and a new subscription will be initiated on the new vehicle.

What is the warranty on my Lexus Enform and/or Safety Connect product?
Lexus Enform and Safety Connect are covered by your vehicle's basic warranty. Please check your Owner's Manual for more details or speak with your Lexus Dealer.

When I purchase a Lexus Enform subscription do I also pay an additional fee for the Safety Connect service?
The subscription plan for Lexus Enform with Safety Connect is $264.90 per year, and this price includes all Safety Connect and Lexus Enform services. With the exception of possible state or local sales taxes, there are no additional charges.

Can I purchase the Lexus Enform services without Safety Connect?
No, Safety Connect is required to obtain Lexus Enform services, so when you subscribe to Lexus Enform for $264.90 per year, this includes all services.

May I purchase a subscription to Safety Connect without Lexus Enform services?
Yes, the subscription plan for Safety Connect is $139.95 per year plus applicable state and local taxes.

Are Lexus Enform and/or Safety Connect subscription services cancellable?
Yes, you can cancel your service at any time by calling 1-800-25-LEXUS, and a prorated refund will be issued via check or credit.

Does a Lexus Enform subscription include XM NavTraffic®/XM NavWeather™?
Advanced XM® services require a valid XM® Radio subscription and are sold separately by XM. Customers who want to extend their three month XM trial must contact XM directly at 1-877-515-3987.

Do I receive any subscription discounts if I purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?
Subscription rates are standard whether purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle (CPO) or a new vehicle. However, if your CPO vehicle is less than a year old, you may still enjoy the remaining complimentary service if your purchase is within the original trial period. Please see your Lexus dealer for details regarding your vehicle.

Can I use my Lexus Visa® credit card points to purchase additional years of subscription?
Not at this time.

I purchased a multiyear contract for two years of service. Does my purchase include the trial period?
The first year of service is included with new vehicles; therefore, purchasing two additional years of service would provide you with 36 months of service.

How can I update my account information?
You may call 1-800-25-LEXUS and follow the prompts for Lexus Enform. An operator can assist with updates to your account.

If my vehicle is totaled, is there a subscription refund?
Any subscription months that you have purchased are eligible for a prorated refund. The first year of service is not refundable because it is an included trial with your new vehicle purchase.

Back to top LEXUS ENFORM™ DESTINATION ASSIST

Will Lexus offer concierge-like services?
Lexus Enform Destination Assist offers the assistance of route guidance and can even access Zagat-rated restaurants. Once the agent finds the destination, it can be sent wirelessly to the vehicle's navigation system for easy map guidance.

Can I use Destination Assist while I'm driving, or is this prevented as with other navigation features?
Yes! Now that you have access to a live operator, you can search for and have destinations sent to your Navigation System while on the go.

Can Destination Assist make restaurant reservations for me?
No. However, your Lexus Enform response center agent can provide the phone number of the restaurant for you verbally or send the number to your on-board terminal. If you have a cell phone paired via Bluetooth®, you can make a hands-free call by selecting the phone number on the Info Tab.
Note: Call can only be made while vehicle is stopped.

Does Destination Assist have access to Zagat hotel ratings?
Not at this time.

I have already enrolled in my trial subscription. Why am I receiving a message on my navigation screen instructing me to enroll?
If it is your first time operating Destination Assist, you may see a pop-up instructing you to enroll. This is a one-time default prompt that can be bypassed by proceeding to make a call to a Lexus Enform response center agent using the appropriate buttons on your navigation screen. Once the first Destination Assist call is complete, the pop-up warning should be turned off.

How do I use Destination Assist?
Refer to your Lexus Enform User's Guide for detailed instructions or to view a tutorial video on the Lexus Drivers site, click here.

Is there an indicator in my vehicle that will tell me whether I am within cellular range?
There is an icon on the Navigation System screen that indicates if the device is in cell coverage while operating Destination Assist. The number of bars on the icon increases with the strength of the signal.

Back to top SAFETY CONNECT™ SERVICES

How do I know the system works?
The Safety Connect system will display a green light by the SOS button-this light indicates the service is active. If a red light is illuminated, there may be a problem with the vehicle hardware and it should be brought to an authorized Lexus dealer.

If I cancel my enrollment or my trial expires and I choose not to renew, will the light in my vehicle change from green to red, or will it just turn off?
If you choose to deactivate your vehicle, the small overhead LED light will turn off. If the vehicle cannot be reached for 120 days-the vehicle has not been used or is in an area of limited cellular connectivity-the vehicle light may remain green even though service has been turned off. See your Lexus dealer for assistance.

What does the green light near my SOS button mean?
The green indicator shows that the system is active. All new vehicles purchased should have a green light before the customer leaves the dealership. When you are connected with a response center agent, the green light will flash on and off. Press and hold the SOS button to cancel the call, or stay on the line for the operator to respond.

If my Navigation System malfunctions, is my Safety Connect service compromised?
Not necessarily. The Navigation System and Safety Connect product are separate hardware units. If you are experiencing problems with your Navigation System, the Lexus Enform services that utilize the navigation such as eDestination, Destination Assist and Lexus Insider may not work, but Safety Connect services will not be affected. If you are experiencing issues with your Navigation System, your Lexus dealer can help diagnose the problem.

Back to top SAFETY CONNECT™ EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE BUTTON (SOS)

What happens if the SOS button is accidentally pressed?
The Safety Connect operator will answer the call. If there is no verbal response from the vehicle's occupants, the operator will dispatch emergency personnel to the vehicle location. In the event the button is accidentally pressed and the vehicle's occupants are safe and able to respond, they can push the button again to cancel or have the operator end the call, and no emergency personnel will be dispatched.

Can a customer request destination services by pushing the SOS button?
No, SOS is a priority line for emergency situations only. If a customer asks for Destination Assist, they will be kindly told how to request destination services.

Back to top SAFETY CONNECT™ STOLEN VEHICLE LOCATION

What do I do if my vehicle is stolen?
With Safety Connect, the customer must file a stolen vehicle report with the police. Once filed, Safety Connect will initiate tracking of the vehicle and report the location to the police.

If my vehicle is stolen and the battery runs down or is disconnected, is Safety Connect still activated for the locator to work?
For Safety Connect to work, it must have battery power. Backup battery is included on select vehicles where the location of the main battery is vulnerable to damage in a severe crash.

If my vehicle is in a bad cell area, will the system work?
Safety Connect works on one of the nation's largest cellular providers that also has roaming agreements with other carriers. In addition, Safety Connect's external antenna and retry (redial) process may connect when a customer's cell phone will not. If there is no coverage from either the primary or secondary cellular source, Safety Connect will not work. eDestination may not work in areas with limited data cellular coverage.

Back to top SAFETY CONNECT™ ENHANCED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

I already receive Lexus Roadside Assistance with my current Lexus vehicle, how is Lexus Enform Enhanced Roadside Assistance different?
Safety Connect offers Enhanced Roadside Assistance, which provides your vehicle's GPS coordinates directly to your Safety Connect response center agent and to Roadside Assistance.

Back to top LEXUS INSIDER

If I choose to receive the Lexus Insider articles, will I have to listen to every message Lexus sends?
No. When a new Lexus Insider article is available, a notification will appear on the navigation screen when the vehicle is first powered on. While it is on-screen, you can choose to ignore incoming messages. If you select "Ignore," the new article will not play, but will be saved to your articles list.

You can also customize your Lexus Insider settings at your convenience through your navigation screen, including deciding to opt in or opt out of receiving Lexus Insider articles or to receive or stop receiving new article notification. If you elect not to receive notifications, you can still check to see when new audiocasts have been received by visiting the Lexus Insider menu. Refer to your Lexus Enform User's Guide for detailed instructions or to view a tutorial video on the Lexus Drivers site, click here.

What topics will be covered in the Lexus Insider audiocasts?
Based on our extensive Lexus customer research on Lexus drivers' key interests, Lexus Insider messages will focus on topics selected by our drivers to be the most appealing, informative and entertaining.

Lexus Insider audio cast topics may include:

  • Exclusive partnerships that provide special benefits exclusively to Lexus owners
  • Vehicle technology insights, with tips on your specific model of Lexus vehicle and its capabilities (how to program a Bluetooth® phone or how to operate the new voice-command feature, for example)
  • Travel destinations with downloadable Points of Interest (POIs)
  • Short clips from select Lexus magazine cultural and lifestyle articles such as:
    • Audio fiction
    • Music samples of featured artists
    • travel and tour guide info (also with downloadable POIs)

How frequently will Lexus Insider audiocasts be sent to me?
Lexus anticipates sending approximately 1-4 audio casts per month on a variety of topics. Since this is a new service, we are taking a careful, deliberate approach to enhance the driving experience of our Lexus owners.

Is there a way to access these audio casts outside of the vehicle?
Not at this time. However, an archive of Lexus Insider audiocasts will soon be available on the Lexus Owner's website at LexusDrivers.com.

Is there a fee associated with the Lexus Insider service?
No. Lexus Insider is a complimentary service on Lexus vehicles equipped with Lexus Enform. There is no charge to you. You can also opt out of the Lexus Insider service, should you desire to do so.

How do I stop my Lexus Insider messages from playing?
On your radio, press the Power button to turn audio off or the Mode button to change the activity to CD, AM/FM or any other audio-related feature.

Can I send my own audio message to Lexus Insider?
Not at this time.

How do I see my Lexus Insider messages?
If your Lexus Insider new-article notification setting is on (default option), a pop-up notification will display on your navigation screen for approximately six seconds when the vehicle is first powered on. While it is onscreen, select "Listen Now" to play your new article.

To view or play previously downloaded articles if you have a Remote Touch controller, select "Menu" button on the side of the Remote Touch controller, then select "Info. Phone" from the "Start" screen. Select "Lexus Insider" from your "Information" screen, and the Lexus Insider screen appears with a listing of your downloaded articles.

To view or play previously downloaded articles if you do not have a Remote Touch controller, select the "Info.Phone" hard button on the navigation console. Select "Lexus Insider" from your "Information" screen, and the Lexus Insider screen appears with a listing of your downloaded articles.

Back to top GENERAL

If I have Safety Connect, do I receive a discount on my car insurance?
In some cases there may be a discount on insurance, depending upon your purchased level of vehicle coverage. Contact your insurance provider.

What is the PIN or passcode I selected during my enrollment used for?
The passcode is designed to ensure that only the primary or secondary subscriber can make changes to your account. For your protection, you must provide your passcode to the response agent if you are calling to report a stolen vehicle.

Do I use the same passcode to login to eDestination as the one that I signed up with at the dealership?
The passcode used to enroll at the dealership is not used to access eDestination. Access to eDestination requires a valid LexusDrivers.com account and an active Lexus Enform subscription.

Tip: For easy-to-remember access, the passcode or PIN provided during enrollment should also be your LexusDrivers.com password.

If Safety Connect can track my vehicle, how will you protect my privacy?
The protection of our customer's information and privacy is paramount to Lexus. A Safety Connect vehicle can be located with GPS if there is an airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision (the vehicle is not tracked in these instances, only located to direct emergency responders). To activate stolen vehicle tracking through Safety Connect, the Safety Connect response center must have a police report on file to ensure there is an actual theft involved. The Stolen Vehicle Location feature is designed to locate a vehicle, not an individual.
