Golden Pineapple Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi all, I am looking to update my navi firmware/software in my '06 IS. Does anybody know what generation the navigation system the 06 has? Somebody says 4th, while someone says 5th. I haven't updated my software before. What's the proper procedure in doing so and which DVD version should I download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex2670 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Download? You need a new DVD--there's no hard drive. I thought they were up to disk 7.1, but I couldn't find it on lexus.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Pineapple Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 the download page doesn't ask you what model you have? Nope. Unfortunately the download page doesn't ask that. Anyway, I found IS250/350 uses generation 5 navi. The latest map version is 8.1. As usual, the dealer is doing best at what it does: asking for loads of your dollars for some brain dead work.

tex2670 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I think this is not a Lexus OEM product--I don't think Lexus would let you download and burn your own dvd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallaslexus Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Just remember that if you upgrade from the 2006 Nav you will no longer be able to enter the cheat and operate it while driving....right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Pineapple Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 I didn't know this thread is still active. Since I don't receive any updates, I am sorry for not responding until now. For those of you who are still interested, I found a new link for the 9.1 update. It's a bit torrent link. I can't guarantee if there are still any seeders left by the time you get my link. In addition, I haven't even tried if the downloaded content will work. So let us know if it does. As for posting the link, I don't think the moderators will be happy having me posting such link (i.e. link that is flaky, and possibly can hurt the forum's reputation). Just PM me instead.

No, you don't insert the DVD into the CD player. The DVD slot is located behind the clock panel. You use the needle looking tool found inside the tool bag (containing other tools such as wrenches, screwdriver, etc) to open the panel. You should be able to find articles or videos on how to remove that panel using those 2 "needles". The operation is simple. You should be able to find two tiny holes on the face of the clock panel. 1 on the left and 1 on the right. Use each needle and push it in (all the way). This can be quite intimidating if this is your first time since you don't know where those needles are jamming into. Remember, push the needles all the way in! You should see the panel disengage. Remove the panel with the wires still hanging. Start the navigation system without turning on the engine (i.e. pressing the "Start Engine" button without depressing the brakes). Go to menu, click "Map DVD", click the eject button, grab the old DVD from the slot, insert the new one, watch the system loads up, pop the panel back. Estimated time: 5 minutes or less.
