How To Get European Map Disc For An American Rx 400h

[bimst]

Here is the current reference of my DVD:86271-33044 464210-0582 Data ver. 04.2

We moved to Europe with our car and can not find proper disc with european maps working on our RX 400h.

European dealers have a site where you can connect to get your updates but it doesn't work for a USA Lexus. Does such a site exists in the US?

Can we buy european maps disc?

Thanks for the help

The dealer should be able to add the discs they have and then acess the secret menu and change the location of it.

Local dealer in Switzerland never even mentioned the possibility of changing the location through a secret menu. At the moment all they've done is trying the local discs they had but which didn't work and tell me that I needed to change the CD reader for a cost of USD 4,000 with no guarantee that the connectic to the screen will work!! Exciting no!

Can you tell me more about the procedure to access the secret menu and change my GPS location so I can either do it myself or ask the local car dealer to do it for me.

thanks

Hello bimst.

Did you ever figure this one out? I have been told the same from a norwegian dealer but at a cost of 1200euro for the dvd reader and new screen up front. There must be an easier way of doing this.

Did you find a solution? I have the same issue with a RX400H in the Netherlands.

If you don't mind a GPS sitting on top of the dashboard get a Garmin. I own a Garmin 7500 and I highly recommend it

The prices listed are high, you can find them for less money if you do some reasearch

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID=289

Get big-time mapping and advanced navigation features for your RV, van or truck with the StreetPilot 7500 and 7200. You won't miss a thing, whether you choose the StreetPilot 7200 with preloaded maps and a huge 7-inch touch screen display or the 7500 with all that plus dead-reckoning.

Navigate With Ease

StreetPilot 7500 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the sunlight-readable color screen or use the remote to enter a destination, and the 7500 takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In addition, the 7500 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras, and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

Add Traffic, Weather and Radio

With an optional XM antenna and a subscription to XM services, you can check the weather, monitor traffic tie-ups and listen to XM radio when you travel with the StreetPilot 7500 in the U.S. As an alternative, the 7500 can receive optional TMC traffic alerts (in select cities) when used with a compatible traffic receiver. Simply touch the screen to view traffic details or recalculate your route to avoid traffic.

Stay Entertained

The StreetPilot 7500 comes with several entertainment features to help keep your journey fun, including built-in MP3 and audio book (subscription to Audible.com required) players. In addition to headphones, you can listen to music and books through your vehicle’s stereo thanks to the 7500’s built-in wireless FM transmitter. Volume levels are speed-adjusted, so it gets louder as speed increases, and audio is muted when navigation instructions are given.

Connect your camcorder, DVD player or game box to the 7500 to take advantage of its big screen resolution.

Navigate Without Satellite Signals

For big city drivers, the StreetPilot 7500 includes dead reckoning capabilities, which means it continues to provide position data if you lose signal in areas with tall buildings or tunnels. Professional installation is required.

I assume that hardware wise the only restriction is the DVD region number. I also know that copies will not be read from car's DVD player. If you know otherwise maybe you could burn the Europian DVDs after converting them to region free with various tools that exist on the internet. I think I worths the time for the try.

BTW - FYI - I bought the DVD boxset with all Europian countries from a Toyota dealer (4 DVDs). I leave in Athens and the waiting list for a Lexus DVD was something like two months. Toyota uses exactly the same DVD for RAV etc so it worked fine for me. Maybe you could also consult Toyota dealers for your problem.

Hi, I've just moved from the US to the Netherlands with my 2005 RX330 and the Lexus dealer here in Amsterdam told me that it is a software lock that Lexus integrated into the DVD navigation. I have heard murmurs of getting a cracked Euro-DVD that can be used in a US-spec RX but I haven't been able to find anything concrete. I have been searching for a solution but haven't been able to find one except for a complete retrofit which will run >EUR4,000.

If anyone else can point us in the right direction, that would be great as there are a number of us that have moved over and have a VERY expensive compass in our dash! :)

Naeel, yes please explain!

You mentioned there is an easy way to use the original european DVD, and I guess the orginal US DVD, to create a DVD with european maps that plays in US DVD readers. I guess one would have to create a DVD image with files that the US reader understands, that point to the files which correspond to the european maps from the european DVD. But one would need to play a lot to get it right (if it is possible) so if you know how to do it, please let us know. I have heard rumors but nothing concrete yet.

I live in Romania and my RX400h is from US. I've tried to use an european navigation dvd but it didn't works. Finally I've bought (60 Euros) from the "black" market a dvd with eastern europe maps and it works. Now I'm waiting for the western europe maps. You can mail me to mi_mle@yahoo.com.

How much did you pay for the boxset? ... and what does it consist of? Which Toyota dealer in Athens did you purchase it from? I live in Athesn too dealing with the same problem.

I just brought my 2008 rx400h to athens greece and went to the toyota lexus service center. They took out a new boxset of dvd's took out my north american dvd and put in their eastern europe dvd. it boots up and shows about 12 countries but greece was not one of them. However the map of athens shows up with my current gps position I just cant use navigation. they did not make me buy the dvd box set.

If anyone can help me i would be most grateful...

they did offer to change out my entire navi system (4k euro) but they were not sure if that would work either because of different model numbers and actual size of the units between the europe and usa versions... what a headeache!

I will just buy a garmin nuvi which works great here in athens until i figure something out

It sure is weird . . . seeing pirate NAV disks openly discussed on the forrum. Not so, back in the day. Guessing times have changed. Anybody want to buy a SUPER cheep, low mileage near new, stolen 400h ?? (just kidding)

:P

Silly Boy, those downloaded nav disks are for experimental purposes only. :)
