toshik 0 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Is out, the update itself is $169, however alone with the labor it comes up to $311! Typical marketing trick... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toshik 0 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Not in the 5th Gen 2008 LS460 - it does not have the USB port. They use dealer computer and the USB is a sort of authorization - it does not contain any map files. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Why don't you go to the dealer and see what's involved in updating an LS460's Navigation System. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toshik 0 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Got it today installed by the dealer - total waste of $326! The new intersection next door built over a year ago is still not on the map. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The new intersection next door built over a year ago is still not on the map. LOL! That sucks! I bet it has some new streets in towns you don't live near on it. Call Lexus Customer Service and tell them about your experience. If you can't find the number, your dealer will know what the number is. I bet they help you out.

I obviously was incorrect, but simply politely pointing that out as the OP did is all thats necessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You do realize that the lack of inclusion of your next door intersection is not controlled by Lexus. If you two find the Lexus navigation system so lacking why would you bother putting money in something you know to be so poor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pj8708 83 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 its a very simple update, school yourself and learn how-to use bitorrent or newsgroups... I was just looking back on this post since you followed up today, and it appears we never did arrive at the definitive way the update IS installed! Can you or anyone else clue me in on the CORRECT procedure? Thanks, Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aqualung 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Found the TSB that shows how it's done. 20minutes to copy 3.5GB file and 20min to copy a second 4GB file across USB and requires a USB security token.
