LEXUS SmartDeviceLink

LEXUS SmartDeviceLink is a dedicated app required to use LEXUS's SDL (SmartDeviceLink).

■ SDL (SmartDeviceLink)
A service that connects your vehicle and smartphone via Bluetooth.
SDL-compatible apps installed on your smartphone appear on your vehicle's onboard display.

This enables you to safely and easily use your smartphone apps on the onboard display, at your convenience and without the need to operate the smartphone itself.



[Main Functions]
(1) SDL-compatible smartphone apps linked to the onboard display
The vehicle and smartphone are connected via Bluetooth. LEXUS SmartDeviceLink then displays SDL-compatible smartphone applications on the onboard display.

(2) List of apps
Displays a list of SDL-compatible apps installed on your smartphone.
Apps can be added or removed from the list, and the order of display can be changed.

(3) Add apps
Displays a list of SDL-compatible apps not installed on your smartphone.
A single click takes you to the AppStore installation page for the selected app.

Note: To ensure safe use, input on the smartphone itself may be restricted while SDL is being used.
