kurtk Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Howdy Gang! I'm looking to update my GPS. I think I heard that this had to be done by the dealer and the newest one is from like 2003 and the dealer wants about $500 for this. Anyone have any differnt info or sources? Thanks Guys and Gals. Voroom-Voroomm :)
sakataj Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 DON'T pay 500 for that disc! i got mine off sewell's ebay account for 300 im looking for it right now or off their page! no this doesn't have to be done at the dealer but they want you to! i did mine myself its REALLY simple! i'll reply again when i find it! brian
sakataj Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 ok mine was simple i just bought the newest disc that matched my generation model and popped it into the harddrive! only thing i can find on there is a hard drive upgrade...........apparently to get any kind of upgrade it seems like the 1999 has to change its hard drive but it says its a D.I.Y. install. anyways......heres the link http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/parts_det...88792&all=Y i would just try calling them to make sure as it says latest upgrade is a 2004. hell i have the latest 2007 upgrade for mine and its missing stuff so i cant imagine a 2004 isn't also! .............. Call 1-888-909-6633 brian
gordonw Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 The 1999 GS400 didn't use a dvd based system. It uses a hard drive and the last update was from July 2004. You're better off spending the money and get a Garmin or Tom Tom.

sakataj Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 if u ACTUALLY read those........BOTH those are great write ups and show the creativity and drive alot of Lexus owners have! great info! brian
kurtk Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 was just at the dealer. Paid $285 for the update and cost 110 to have them install as long as i trade out my core. Seems reasonable but sucks they stopped updating at 2004 :(
