thanks!

so have they come out with a new version every year? so there's 7,8,9, and 10 being the newest?

Yeah, I too like the removal of the "I Agree" buttons, and the Bluetooth syncs very fast! Almost right after the LEXUS splash screen! I did also notice wayyyy more street names and local POI's (ATM's, etc...). Overall, nice update.

Do you also notice smoother map scrolling as you drive like the OP?

Yes, a new version every year. 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1, 9.1 and the latest is 10.1. There was also a special TSIB disc for the '06 cars to fix the loss-of-GPS-lock issue -- that disc has the same software as the 6.1 discs, combined with the older 5.1 maps.

so if I have version 7.1 I could still benefit from 8.1 or 9.1 right? Anyone selling the older discs for cheap?
