The Lexus GX iPhone watch app is amazing !

[mm9351]

The iPhone app automatically appeared on my watch after loading the Lexus app.

Here is a complete listing of what you can do from your wrist:

• remote engine start and stop
• lock / unlock
• control hazards
• control lights
• control horn
• control buzzer
• trunk lock / unlock
• check fuel level / range / miles to empty
• display vehicle status issues, if any
• display tire pressures for each tire
• show location of vehicle last parked on map
• displays VIN of vehicle

Just wanted to acknowledge the outstanding work by Lexus and software developers on the I-Watch app. Definitely worth checking out…

Not a smartwatch person but that is pretty nifty.

That is cool. I have pretty much the same features on my iphone app but it is pretty cool to do it on your wrist. Very Dick Tracy.

Did you have to get a 2nd data line for your watch incase you are not carrying your phone?

Actually I don’t have a second data line. I have a series 3 iwatch, but if you don’t have your phone nearby you might need a later generation watch with built in gps / data this to work.

Thanks for pointing this out. I think the watch app companion is new (I dont remember seeing it when I downloaded the phone app).

Yep - checked and looks like you do need to have a separate date line for the watch - I have the Ultra 2 and it was something like $12/month for the line

I do not have cell service for my watch, only tied to my phone and it works perfectly.

I wanted the option so if I'm out for a run. and am not carrying a phone - I can still use my watch

Gotcha. Yeah, unless your watch is on wifi, you will need your phone.

Anyone know if there is an Android option?

I second this question. Per the Lexus site, they DO support android smart watches, but not Samsung Gear Smartwatches - so it seems a bit conflicted.
