If this is your first time using Scout GPS Link, please create a user account using a valid email address and a password that you can easily remember. We strongly advise against skipping account creation. If you tap Skip, Scout GPS Link will not save any Recents or Liked addresses to our servers. Recents and Liked addresses are convenience features and are not a backup to your phone's address book/contact list. While we do not guarantee against data loss, if you have to reinstall the app and you did not create a Scout GPS Link account, you will probably lose this data completely. So, please do not tap Skip.
To connect Scout GPS Link to your Lexus Display Multimedia system in your vehicle, you must pair your smartphone with the vehicle and we recommend that you also connect your smartphone to the Lexus Display Multimedia system with a USB cable. Features like the moving navigation map will not work without a USB cable to transfer data.
