justflyin83 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Ok I would like to upgrade my navigation on my 2006 IS350. I don't need the most recent update which I believe is 8, 7 will do just fine. However I think Lexus charging for these disk is ridiclous! It should be a free service, paying nearly $300 for a disk when you can buy any Garmon unit for that price with better finctionality. Needless to say is way to download and burn these nav disks? I have the original update on my 2006 and I still have to "accept" the terms everytime I drive. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex2670 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Then--why didn't you just get the Garmin to begin with? I'm sure it's possible, and it sure ain't legal. If you want the next latest update, have you tried eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's possible, and it sure ain't legal.If you want the next latest update, have you tried eBay? Well why would I get a Garmon when I have one built into my dash? That's just doesn't make sense. I have tried ebay but is it possible to download the disk at all? Has anyone done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were concerned about the cost of factory nav updates, my question is why did you get factory nav, instead of a Garmin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay1 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Bottom line. They have you. The update is $300 period. I have the nav. and I personally chose not to update. I wish Lexus would just team up with Garmin, like they did with Bose. Leave the nav. to the pros. They should let you update on-line - what is this the 15th century? :) I still mapquest things if I am in a rush (especially on business trips) just in case. The best part for me is when I am at a late meeting at say 11 pm and I say home... and it takes me there :) Wife just got Acura MDX, there is no lock-out while driving - which is a huge complaint on these boards (which BTW I am not sure is a great idea given what I have seen in action!), but interested to see how the system compares in terms of map and address accuracy. Although... I love my IS - so forget the TL. My IS rocks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex2670 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have an 04 Honda, and have never needed the update. If you don't live in an area with a lot of new subdivisions, you can get away without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnee88 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 If anyone ever discovers a way to burn one, PM me. It's been awhile since I burned any type of disk cd or dvd, so what type of software is out there is new to me. Thnks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just another case of someone trying to accuse mods of getting kickbacks for mentioning certain vendors or dealers or even accusing us of being dealers or dealer employees. It's a vast mod/vendor conspiracy. :D :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
