Latest Navigation Updates question - 2018 RX350

[yarlee]

Does anyone have any pointers on when Lexus is going to release the latest map updates for navigation? Local dealer has been stringing me along since Dec saying they usually get them by December.

Most of the roads on the installed navigation are outdated and with the amount of construction and new roads in the Dallas area, it's useless sometimes. I know phone has the latest, but I am not comfortable using navigation on phone when car has the feature.

I have a 2018 lexus RX 350 base model and for the navigation system it would work on Scout GPS Link, since Oct 3032 it has been discontinued, does anyone know what is the alternative for having a navigation system showing maps

Currently what navigation are you using for your 2018 Lexus RX 350

I just asked our local dealership and he said Lexus releases the previous year update at the end of the current year. So 2023 will be available at the end of 2024. They also want $375 for the update!

The one car came with. I didn't install any off-brand products if that is what you were asking.

Thank you. I finally got it from the dealer and went ahead with the update. Installing it was a lengthy process but simple.
