I suppose this is to be expected. Built-in systems can never keep up with external, portable systems. In fact, my Lexus LX-470 uses a DVD. Obsolete technology.
All of the portable devices use flash memory that is faster, more reliable, and less expensive.
The thing that burns me is that Lexus happily charges $370 for the DVD, being more aware of the above facts than most owners could possible be. Sad, and reprehensible business practice.
I found the Garmin Nuvi 750 on the Internet for less money than the $370 charged for the Lexus DVD.
