iom Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I got a reply from a guy on Craigslist who will sell me a v8.1 disk (copy) for a Gen 2/3 system for $25!!! Here's his email: "$25 for the backup disc on DVD+R DL. i tested it on my 2004 gs430, i did not have chance to test on 2003 sc430 so i can not warranty it will work well. however, my friend had 2002 sc430 and it works after few eject and reinsert the disc." When I asked if he took PayPal, he sent me this: "I am only have backup of the disc on DVD+r dl for now. I sold all the oem disc. It cost only $25 mailed to you. My car is 2004 gs430. The disc tested on my car fine without any read error issues. I can not warranty 100% if it work on model yr 2003 until you Tri it out and find out yourselves. Can your car read a DVD+R DL disc?" Anyone have any thoughts on this offer? iomsc430@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Legal copies of 8.1 for gen 2/3 are available from highly rated eBay sellers and from on-line Lexus parts suppliers at substantial discounts. Why bother with a pirate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justflyin83 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Will this work on a 2006 is350? I've been trying to find version 8.1 but can't find it for under $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be $25.00 - just what I paid for it. iomsc430@gmail.com. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS430forme Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 His 2006 IS350 gps is gen 5 and your dvd is gen 2/3 and won't work in his car. Just FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettg Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Does your disk update maps for a 2002 sc430? How recent are the maps. I will buy for $25 if compatible. Let me know, Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
