Just got a v8.1 hype from Sewell Lexus
Just got an email v8.1 Nav hype from Sewell Lexus.
Discount code gives $299 disk for $250 with trade in of old disk.
They say it's a DVD disk. I don't have DVD capability. Their pdf link to "installation" doesn't work.
If it doesn't fix the Nav lockout I don't need it.

You can't upgrade your Nav in North America from a DVD disk. Some other areas like the Middle East can, but not here. They have to use a laptop and purchase a "one-time use" upgrade key from Lexus. I had the 7.1 done on my previous car (complimentary from Lexus - ask for it). If they are offering this, it may be for a previous car you owned (?). The 7.1 changes included Hawaii maps, the replacement of the "I agree" screen with a 5-second caution, and of course updates for the maps, POIs and miscellaneous data.

Just as I suspected. The new generation LS is not on the list as it uses USB only.
Thanks for the clarification, Whit! Maybe this thread should be moved to the appropriate forum.

I got the email too and im looking at buying an 07 IS if this changes the i agree screen ill buy it. Im not sure if anyone knows this but on the 08 you can push the map voice button to bypass the i agree screen and not have to wait for the 5 sec delay.

This thread was started in the LS forum, so I did not distinguish the application of the update. Indeed, the LS460 and the 600 in North America are updated via a USB port located under the dash next to the steering wheel. Other areas like Middle East still use a DVD to upgrade.
