Update Gps Maps


Recommended Posts

I asked the dealer if any updates were available for the GPS system, he replied yes and the cost is $340. This seems out of line, however, I do not know what is required. Is this cost reasonable for the update. Thanks.

I know someone that just had it updated at the dealer for $295. He had to wait a couple of weeks for it. Unless you're in real estate or always driving to new developments there may not be a need right away. Basically the updates include new housing developments & shopping malls. LOL

I have a 1999 gs300 with navigation. It is my understanding that Lexus used a hard drive to store maps and it's only updates every 2 years. The next update will be out in late 2006 and it does cost about $300. I beleive in 2001 they started using a CD ROM based system which is to upgrade.

I believe the most updates version for the hard drive system is from 2004. The CD roms are updated much more frequently than two years for the hard drive. They can be brought on ebay for $20-40

$345 is way too high. Found a dealer in PA that sells it for $250 in Carlisle, PA. Their prices for everything else is also a lot cheaper than any dealer I've been to in PA, MD, or NY

The ones on Ebay are for Gen IV systems and their blems that Lexus stopped selling. For Gen III systems they go over $200 and that's for 2003 DVDs.

i have an 01GS430 with version 1 2000 what is the most up to date version I can get now?

I believe version 3. It will be something like 33033 o believe. Make sure you dont get a 4th generation nav disk, it wont work. You have a 3rd generation dvd unit.
