EMcGraw Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I have been running into dead-ends every where I turn. I need to update my 2001 GS-430's DVD Navigation System. I am still running the version delivered with the vehicle nearly 5 years ago. I have a touch-screen NAV System. What version should I use and where do I find it? Thanks in advance for your input.

TAGGAR Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 DVD UPGRADE: I'm in the same position. I have a 1999 GS 300 with NAV. Check and see if you have a CD rom based NAV or hard drive based NAV. I spoke to a Lexus rep and was told that lexus stopped making updated hard drives back in 2003 around when they switched to a CD rom system. Hope it leps and keep me updated should you find better info. Thanks TAGGAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USDAprime Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Here's what I did to update the nav maps on my 2001 GS300 last year: 1) Went to Lexus of Bellevue (WA) 2) Asked to get an updated set of maps (the new one included Canada, too!) 3) Shelled out $500 4) Thanked them and got lost in Canada a lot less from then on. :D Hope that's helpful to you... -Euge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achadha100 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 you would need to get a generation 3 upgrade disk...what you see on ebay is only for 4th generation disks and will not work on your car...bascially you are looking for a serial number of 86271-xx33..that last two digits are key as 33 means version 3.3 which is the latest upgrade for your generation 3 navigation...also if u look at the generation 4 disc you will see some dots at 7oclock on the generation 3 disk they are at 2oclock...

eurokc98 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I have a 2001 gs300, i took a nav disk from my friends 2004 gs430 and used it in my system for a road trip. Got back and put my old disk back in. DOESNT WORK NOW! Apparently the newer disks updates the firmware within the unit. I am now stuck without nav. I need to buy a 3rd generation disk 3.3, i have a guy telling me he can make me a copy for 100 bucks. I thought you couldnt copy the nav disks?? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
