I live in Maryland, so we get night time and early morning temperatures in the 20's and 30's from December through mid-March. Hopefully someone in a cold climate will be able to provide some feedback.

I got this car in March, 2021 so it wasn't that cold outside. However, I had an 02 LS430 before this (was totaled in an accident) and I never experienced that problem at all. Oddly enough, I'm not even sure where the DVD is located in this vehicle. We also currently have a 10 ES350 and don't have this issue with the maps.

Typically when this happens, either it is freezing or below or the car hasn't been operated in a few days. Once I drive, say 10 minutes or so, and then shut the vehicle off and restart, the map loads as expected. I also forgot to mention, when the map doesn't load, neither does my cell phone address book. Apparently the phone and the maps share the same thought process. LOL.

Hello All, When I start my 2009 LS460 and it's extremely cold out, my Map doesn't load and the screen says "Unable to Load Maps, Contact your Lexus Dealer." If I drive the car 10 minutes or so, and restart the car, the map loads as it should normally. So, once the interior get's warm enough, the map will load but if the interior isn't warm, the map won't. Does anyone else experience this problem?
