Thanks for the help.
$210 is what I paid about 2 years ago from my dealer. I tried scouring non-dealer sites, but since it's a "one and done" kind of part, I didn't want to take the risk.

Default Update 2020 navigation

2020 gx460 luxury. Just bought it. The map is 3 years old now and maybe needs updated. I see dealer prices from $300 up to $800 and ebay prices for the sd card under $100. I also see used cards for sale. I thought they could only be used for one vehicle?

will the cheaper ebay (aftermarket?) work?

I doubt those from eBay will work at all. In worst case, it may also damage your head unit. I will avoid those by any cause. You can shopping on line Lexus dealers for reasonable cost.

I would highly recommend retrofit Android Auto or Apple CarPlay

Several post in the forum on that process, that way you do not need to worry about map updates as you use apple maps, google map, Waze or similar maps.

Else I agree, I would stick with Lexus provided SD cards in case.

People will update their system with a new OEM SD card. Then sell the old card on eBay. If you want to save a couple dollars. Just buy an original and put it in

Is there a way to check if it has already been updated?

When in nav map screen, choose options/map data. That will show the version.

I just talked to dealer and ordered sd card for $210. I was told it may be the last update for that sd card ever.

2021 and up is updated electronically at the dealer. That explains why i was not getting results from google on new sd cards. I hope someone makes new cards aftermarket!

The update was simple,,,just insert the sd card and turn on ignition. The car did the rest.

Does anyone know for sure if the sd card can be used in another vehicle? i see used ones for sale, but also have heard comments that it ties itself to the original vehicle that installs it and cannot be used anywhere else.
