We just bought our first Lexus yesterday
2002 rx300 2wd, 69k, very clean, leather, sunroof, heated seats,nav "sort of"
The nav doesn't work yet.
We picked the car up Friday, drove it over the weekend and purchased it Monday Nov the 10th
The nav system display showed no disc from day 1.
The dealer said they checked it and there was no disc present when the original owner left the vehicle on the lot. So I did a little research and found out what the most current software version of the disc would be.
Then I had the dealer order one monday.
Today I got a message saying that the new oem lexus gen 2-3 compatible ver 8.1 map disc had arrived. My wife took the car over there on her lunch break the guy at the lot told her that it would not go in so he pushed the eject button and out comes the original disc. I think possibly he did not have the key turned on when he originally tried to eject the disc so he thought there was nothing in there. The guy is a friend so I cant really be mad about a simple mistake I could have made my self. According to my wife the system will not recognize either disc. WTF?
I don't know what version was originally inside the unit as my wife was in a hurry to get back to work and could not be bothered over the phone, but I'm getting the feeling from what I've been reading today that if it was a much older version that I cannot directly upgrade to v8.1. even if there are some tricks I can try to get the system to recognize either disc. :(
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
