    Service Function
    Destination Assist
    • Downloads the user's desired destination information into the navigation system after the call center is told the destination.
    • Stores the information downloaded in the navigation system so the information can be reused as required.
    • Destination Assist is an in-vehicle service that allows subscribers to request directions to any location. Subscribers are connected to an agent through the Destination Assist soft key and may ask the agent to download the location of any destination to the navigation system in the vehicle. Agents are able to locate specific Points Of Interest (POI's) by search terms, locate specific addresses, or provide Zagat-rated restaurants as premium POI's. Agents are able to search for POI's using the distance from the vehicle, from a city, or from another POI. The vehicle device can store up to 5 POI's at a time, which can be added to the device queue as the first or last entry, or as a replacement for all entries.
    LEXUS App Suite LEXUS App Suite enables the usable content of a cellular phone to be displayed on and operated from the multi-display screen. As "Bluetooth" communication is used for the communication between a cellular phone and the radio receiver assembly, before using the LEXUS App Suite on the navigation system, the cellular phone needs to be registered to the navigation system as a "Bluetooth" device. For details regarding LEXUS App Suite operations, each of the applications and compatible phones, refer to http://www.lexus.com/MobileLink/.
