I have a 2010 RX 350 and version 8.1 is installed. I called Lexus and was offered the upgrade to 9.1 at no charge.
When I arrived at the dealer, the tech told me that the update was pulled for Hard Drive navigation models because the software is too big for the default partition on the drive. He told me an update would be available soon.
Has anyone with an RX350 gotten 9.1 yet?

I just talked to Lexus too. He put me into his computer to be authorized for an upgrade at the dealership. He seemed to think they might be able to do it now either by DVD or through the USB port. He also said it was entirely map and nothing else.

To this day though, I am still being told that they can't update the HDD navigation systems. I have an RX350 (not the 450), but I think they share the same Nav system.

Does anyone know what's in the new version?
I got my 450h in septemeber, and its always been pretty wonky working with my iphone. That and the nav itself could use a bit of tweeking. I dont really have any problem with the maps however.

I'll post the results one way or the other late tomorrow.

9.1 Nav update
Sad to say it won't happen today. My dealer called me back late yesterday. They have the 9.1 in stock for some cars but not the RX yet and there 'IS' some confusion they're working through. Whether or not it's a disk or flash memory. And they still don't have the part numbers for this car.
From what my contact at Corp said, I think it's flash memory and can be done via the USB port. But they'll still need to get the disk/memory stick/or whatever in stock before they can do it. I'll try to get a hold of my contact today and see if 'HE' can give me a part number to give to my parts dept (I need a commission for this) so they can order the part.
Frustrating but it's something new so... At any rate, I think if you want to pay the fee, you can get it from your car using the NAV system and d/l it that way. Someone with deep pockets should give it a try

9.1 Nav Update #2
I called Lexus Corp re: the part number and they just returned my call. The actual 'upgrade' release won't be out until at least the end of the month, possibly an extra week or so after that. Until then, there won't be a part number. But they did assure me I was in their computer for a free upgrade. And they just said to stay in touch with my dealers parts dept.
I asked the additional question re: NAV directions playing over the radio sound VS cutting the volume off as in making a phone call. His comment was they were aware of it, the engineers are working to see if a fix can be made to existing models. He seemed to think without committing that it's a forthcoming fix for us.
So I'm a happy camper, haven't gotten lost yet and just standing by for the upgrade.

No, I don't play soccer!
Jim, good to know on both parts. I'm hoping my 450h will have the update since it is being built this month. And the nav voice override is definitely needed. I wonder why they changed it from 2nd gen.
