    The infotainment isn't a deal breaker. The LC500 is like a piece of art

    Ok I don’t care about the infotainment system. I’d drive this LC500. Driving is my interest in the car.

    So not accurate. I have a Lexus LX570 same infotainment, I just use it for music and for maps I use google maps on my phone. You can get the lc500 with apple car play so there is no issue.

    At least it comes with Apple Carplay which makes up for the horrendous native infotainment system!

    I felt the same at first, but have been daily driving my LC500 Since 2019 and it takes about 3 months and you get used to it. Not only that, it actually works very very well once you know where to go and learn the shortcuts.

    You get used to the info system eventually, I have and it works fine but using map for directions feels like too many steps (based on UK postcode lookup)

      I own the 2021 alongside a 2024 Atlas with the all touch screen and all the “modern infortainment” whistles, and I couldn’t agree more with you. You can tell most reviewers didn’t put anytime understanding it. Its a great system.

    It’s really not that bad. Iam used to it now and have had the car one month. The climate controls are on the dash, I rarely have to change the seat settings. The radio controls are external as well. Everything else is done on my phone including navigation or music etc. I like the lack of fingerprints and the sleek look of the dash.

  • @bigphatweinerboy

    Nope. I bought a new LC 500 convertible and after 2 months with it, the infotainment is better for me than my wife's s560 infotainment system.. It is very easy to use. Also, the comfort concierge is the bees knees. What no one mentions is you have buttons to adjust the a/c as well on the fly. This car is the best car I have ever driven and I've driven them all except pagani, or koneggsigg. Not a fast car but quick and sounds like a GTP car, insane.

    Totally agree with you, it's the pits. Didn't stop me buying one though, I just added a secondary screen for Apple Car Play/Andoid Auto (the latest LC's have this as standard anyway) and it is then 100%. Did you mention the non-existant rear seat room? Ooops.....

    I love the infotainment system. I have to problem using it. All functions I need are dialed in, and works perfectly. Once you setup your presets, ie., audio system, phone, heated and cool seat temperature, you don’t have to worry about adjustment. If you are driving your eyes should be on the road.
