■About internet radio (vehicles with the navigation system)
●Other applications can be activated while listening to internet radio.
●An iPhone cannot be connected via Bluetooth® and USB connection at the same
time. However, it is possible to recharge an iPhone while using Apps by connecting
via USB. The system uses the connection method that was used last. Therefore, if
connected via USB after Bluetooth
® connection, it is necessary to reconnect the
iPhone via Bluetooth®.
●Services requiring a separate contract can also be used. For details, refer to
http://www.lexus.com/enform/
or call 1-800-255-3987.
●If internet radio has never been listened to by activating “Apps” from the “Informa-
tion” screen, the “Apps” tab will be dimmed.
