RX350inGA

My RX does not have Mark Levison system or DVD. I added (dealer installed) a rear headrest DVD system after purchase. All the same NAV in motion disabling is still present in the 7.1 version. The only significant change is the updated streets and the removal of the "I agree" button. I just have to wait 3-5 sec for the splash screen to disappear when I start the vehicle. I am still hoping to make my own hybrid DVD after getting a 5.1 disk from the dealer Tech but it's becoming a long shot now. I may try the lockpick tro gain some more functionallity while driving.

Rx350inGA - Were you charged for the upgrade? Did you have to make an appointment/leave vehicle, or was it no big deal? BenF12400- I had called and complained to the sales person about how out of date the street info was and she set me up with the tech. The Tech/Dealer gave it to me free, 2 days after I purchased the car. It took about 1 hour. Sorry for the delay I haven't been on here in several weeks

Last week I took delivery of a new 08 RX350. I had Gen 5.0 and sw 6.1 navigation. First thing I noticed was the sw ver 6.1 was at least 2 years out of date for my area in south Atlanta. A real annoyance for me since I live off a 4 lane highway that was not on map. I called and talked to the sales person she hooked me up with their tech who upgraded me with the new 7.1 version. in the 7.1 version: -roads are newer which fixed my main concern. -no more hitting the "i agree" now it is a 3-5 sec splash screen that goes away automatically. Tech claimed I could still make and load the a hybrid DVD with the 5.1 file to override locked out functions when moving.
