daveinlaca Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I signed up for the Lexus service connect which I guess includes roadside assist and auto detects an accident and can locate your vehicle if stolen and some other features. The first year is free then around $350 a year after. Is this service worth it or is there a pared down seevice that other owners have found work better and are a better value? Thanks for any guidance and happy holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 AAA premium card for $64/year is more cost-effective for me, don't need more fluff services that I will never use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 The Safety Connect portion of Lexus Enform is available separately for $139.95/year and there are discounts for multiple year subscriptions: https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/lexusenform/subscriptions.do Safety Connect is the service that includes using the emergency "S.O.S." button to speak to a real person at the response center, automatically notifies the response center with your GPS location if you crash, and provides Stolen Vehicle Location service in cooperation with law enforcement agencies. We have multiple year subscriptions to Safety Connect for our two Toyota brand vehicles and will subscribe as long as we own the vehicles. An aspect of Safety Connect that I particularly value is that it has it's own backup battery that can allow it to function even after a crash disables the rest of a vehicle's electrical system. My wife and I have AAA (and Medicare!) cards but we do not regard AAA as providing anything like the automatic and "one button push" services that Safety Connect provides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
