I got the 9.1 version today and installed it myself in about 5 min.

I bought my RX late August 09. I assume it came with 8.1. Am I entitled to a complimentary 9.1 upgrade, or no chance?

[MBman]

would not hurt to ask, but I doubt it, unless you bargined for it in the sale

does the 9.1 eliminate the sign in screen?

does the 9.1 eliminate the sign in screen?

YES YES, thank God, YES. That alone was worth 200 bucks. :)

I have the V 8.1 nav disc and find it woefully inadequate. Frequently in well populated, older areas, it will not be able to provide guidance until it gets to a major highway or thoroughfare. Debating whether it's worth 200 to get an updated disc that might not be much better. Anyone else dissatisfied with their nav system guidance?

If you have a 2010 RX350 or RX450, you can't upgrade to v9.1 yet. We have HDD navigation systems and the partition is slightly too small for the latest software. Lexus is (apparently) revising the software and will be releasing it in a month or so.

But the override to allow for input while moving is won't work... DOH!

krypttic, I have an 09. I just wonder whether getting the update is worth it since V 8.1 was so poor. I live in a community that is over 25 years old and yet they do not have the roads here in the Nav system.

You have a Generation 4 system according to this thread: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45858. There is nothing they need to do to re-calibrate. They are jerking you around and you should report them to Lexus corporate.

The one from Sewell at $200 will take care of all the "calibrating" automatically. Just make sure prior to adding it to your cart that you choose Generation 4 as your "Size".

Then install and it will update for you.

Enjoy your extra $300.

I'm not 100% but it should. It's the same exact disc your local dealer would sell you. Mine removed my 'I Agree' screen.

v9.1 is the latest for the gen 5s

got it of bittorrent, burnt on verb. dual layer dvd and it works. the reader for the navi is in the trunk. the latest one removes the i agree button
