BillyShaft, I did purchase a 8.1 cd off of ebay and it is working great, thanks for the advice. But when I programmed the override--it won't stay. It seems to forget the override after my car has been turned off. Is this the way it should be??? Or am I doing something wrong?? Thanks, Melissa

I just recently purchased a 02 SC430 and I love it. However, I only got one key with the purchase from a private dealer. My local Lexus dealership is very expensive and I am searching for a cheaper option. My 04 RX330 was purchased new and I got 3 keys (valet, 2 traditional keys) and a emergency key. After searching Ebay I found a seller who offered a "flip" style key, but I am wondering if this will work with the all the features.... Suggestions? Melissa

I also just purchased an 02 SC430 & would love to have the backup camera. So far I have hit a dead end, all of the stores are trying to sell me something after-market and advising that I discontinue using the Lexus navigation. That seems crazy. Would love to hear what everyone else has done or thinks... Melissa

I checked and the navigation unit in the trunk does NOT have a dvd inside. So my only step is to try and locate a navigation cd so that I can test it out. Any ideas? Thanks, Melissa

Melissa, here's the deal. If I can find my old 2002 OEM Disk I will send it to you FREE! I was in the same position as you and purchased a 2002 SC-430 and absolutely LOVE IT! I looked for an update on the net. Some guy in California was selling what I think was a OEM Copy and I bought it but I couldn't get it to work, so I had a friend of mine who owns a body shop get an OEM 7.1 Version from Toyota. I think my NAV Version from the original OEM Disk was 2.0 (but don't quote me on it) and I was trying to update my NAV from 2.0 to what I have now that is 7.1 what a difference. From what I understand 8.0 is the newest version which was released December 2008/January 2009. I can send you both discs and see which one works for you. Let me know. Regards, Blaise WOW! Thats very kind of you! If you sent me a disc then at least I would have something to use & test mine out with...My email address is: melissavac7811@aol.com. I emailed a guy this morning from Craigs List and he cautioned me that most of the time the NON-OEM discs will not work and you need to purchase the genuine article. Did you say you purchased a Toyota one? Does that work on ours as well? Thanks again, Melissa

I have a 2003 Lexus LS430 and am also looking for an upgrade DVD. Please contact me at flexman77@yahoo.com. Thanks. I have a 2002 SC430 that I purchased last week but it doesn't have a navigation cd. I went to Lexus yesterday and they wanted $300 for it. I need to purchase & would appreciate it if someone could contact me regarding a purchase, was hoping that Tony might be able to sell me one or someone else out there?? Thanks, melissavac7811@aol.com

If the solution from the guy before doesn't work---there is a guy on Ebay who sells override disks for only $19.95, my friend purchased one and said it a snap. I am a new owner of 2002 SC430. My car has the navigation cd missing so I need to purchase one. I have checked with Lexus and they are charging $300. Ebay has many for sale but they are approximately the same price. Does anyone know where I can get a new cd for a reasonable price, I would even settle for a older cd if someone has recently upgraded to test out my unit. Can someone give me some help? Thanks!
