Hi Eldora,

You have a generation 2/3 navigation unit in your 2001 RX300. The v1 dvd is quite old as the newest one is version 7.1 made by navteq. The dvd is available from the dealer.

The system runs off of the dvd located in the trunk as you suspected. You wold have to remove the cover and then you would see an eject button next to the slot of the dvd drive. To update the system, simply insert the new dvd into the drive with the accessories in the car on.

I cannot send you a private message as you are a new member. I have the navigation dvd you need. Contact me at:

and I can send you more information about the dvd disc and answer any other question you may have about upgrading the navigation system. I can also send you some detailed instructions on how to access the drive and disc.

Hi Stephen,

I'm a new member and sorry for double posting. I'm also interested in the disc and would like to know if its possible for you to share. I've called Lexus and they are charging an arm and a leg for the dvd to upgrade my 2001 RX 300 nav system.

thank you,

kohl
