What is the price of Lexus Safety Connect?
For a limited number of Toyota and Lexus automobiles from the 2010 model year, Toyota has revealed prices and information on its new proprietary telematics and GPS-based safety and convenience services. All 2010 Toyota Prius cars produced after August 1, 2009, come with the “Safety Connect” service as an option. Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Location, Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), and Roadside Assistance are just a few of the services offered. Drivers of Safety Connect Prius vehicles may rest easy knowing that the Safety Connect response center is open around-the-clock, every day of the year.
With the purchase of a Prius or Lexus equipped vehicle, the first year of Safety Connect and Lexus Enform with Safety Connect services is free. You will have to pay $139.95 for Safety Connect renewal memberships for one year. Renewals for Lexus Enform with Safety Connect for one year will cost $264.90, and the Enform service is only available for vehicles with navigation.
Finally, Lexus provides the comfort and security features that high-end competitors like BMW’s Assist and Mercedes-Tele Benz’s Aid offer. The Prius now incorporates Safety Connect technology, giving Toyota the means to compete with GM’s OnStar should it decide to expand Safety Connect throughout the rest of the lineup.

The Lexus Remote Start App costs how much?
After stating that a subscription would be necessary to keep access to Apple CarPlay, BMW received a lot of backlash. However, BMW is not the only company offering subscription services for car functioning. As part of the practice of charging extra for servicesin this example, remote startingLexus has also joined the fray.
One client stated on Reddit last year that “Lexus Customer Service confirmed that they will now disable your built-in key fob remote start if you do not pay the $359 for their… Enform Remote Start app.” The consumer was initially informed that there was absolutely no connection between the Enform app and the actual key fob. But after waiting for 30 minutes, apparently to do some research, the same customer support agent altered his response.
In an effort to disprove it, we contacted Lexus to learn the actual facts about this. However, to our amazement, it is unquestionably accurate. Toyota’s East Coast Communications Manager, Corey Profitt, “Lexus Enform Remote, which works with your smartphone, smartwatch (iWatch or Android Wear), and key fob, is offered for one-year free trial to Lexus owners. The guest has the choice to either continue the trial when the year is up or cancel it. All three alternatives for [remotely] starting the car are disabled by the service if the guest doesn’t extend. The fact that a Lexus Enform Remote subscription must be active causes the key fob to stop functioning as a remote auto starter. The service on the vehicle is automatically disabled whenever the subscription expires.”
Even though Apple CarPlay is increasingly widespread in new cars, it is still something of a novelty and an extra that wealthy owners might be willing to spend money on. A remote start, however, is another matter. Even one of the most basic automobiles on the market 15 years ago, my 2003 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, had remote start. Lexus now offers a subscription-based version of it. Even worse, what if the included feature in your automobile automatically stops working if you don’t pay for the subscription? Just plain low, that.
We should point out that the Redditor wasn’t totally accurate, especially with regards to price. The Remote App alone may be purchased via the Lexus Enform website for $8 per month or $80 per year for some models, or $16 per month or $160 per year for other models, not $359 as the Reddit thread implies. It’s possible that customer complaints caused the price to decrease from the previous year.
However, is it really worth even $80 a year for your car to maintain a feature that it arrived with, is completely capable of performing, but is purposefully disabled if you don’t subscribe? The choice will be up to Lexus owners.
What is the monthly cost of the Lexus navigation?
The MSRP for the Version 18.1 update is $169, not including installation or related taxes (with the exception of the SD card based version for GEN8 and GEN9 vehicles). By dealer, prices could differ.
The MSRP for the Version 18.1 SD card-based updates for GEN8 and GEN9 vehicles is $210; installation and any applicable taxes are not included in this price. By dealer, prices could differ.
In addition to map data, navigation updates also include POI (points of interest) and other information that Lexus must pay for from a variety of sources. In order to ensure the most up-to-date information is accessible, the information on map DVDs is also validated by driving the routes. Free navigation updates are not available from Lexus.
Using Lexus navigation does not need a monthly subscription charge, although using Lexus Enform services or apps on suitably equipped vehicles may incur additional costs.
Is enform being discontinued by Lexus?
You can sign up for or extend your available Lexus Enform subscription services through September 30, 2022, via the Lexus app. As of October 31, 2022, at 11:59 PM CST, all active Lexus Enform subscription services will be discontinued.
