Has anyone updated their NAV? I asked the dealer how much it was.
$240!!!![Crying](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/Peace.gif)
It's not a high priority, but there are some new roads around here. I'm running Waze in conjunction.
I looked on eBay but didn't see anything.
Has anyone looked for the update at a lower price?

You could probably pick up a copy (usually comes on a USB stick) from eBay and save a few bucks. The dealer normally charges about an hour of labor to do the update so your price sounds about right. Granted, if you do it once every 4-5 years it doesn't seem so bad. I wish our cars had the Android/Apple Auto built in, would be great to use Google Maps as my main navigation app and have it constantly updated.

I've done them in the past, but will never waste the time and effort to do another one. My phones are so much better it isn't even a fair comparison.

Same thing here in the UK.
Bought the 2015 maps from Lexus, only to find half the new roads aren't mapped, and I can't ever pinpoint the destination I need!

Always revert to my trusty iPhone map app! Gets me to my actual destination EVERY time!

I'd spend the money on better things personally.

I could be wrong but I don't think you can DIY. I watched the tech that I know install it. You have to have a certain computer that attaches to the port in car. Or maybe it is just the cable. The program is on a usb drive.
Takes about an hour to update and get her all done.
Again its not worth the price. The usb drive alone is $140 with out the labor.

I did it on my 08. Bought the CD/DVD on Ebay. There are two holes under where you put in the CD for regular music, etc., you push small pins in them (I think I used paperclips) and it unlocks the front fascia. You pull it out, and there is another DVD slot in there. That is where the DVD style GPS disc goes...no idea for the USB ported ones.

Edit: Hardly worth it though -- I still use WAZE as my primary driving application...couldn't tell you the last time I used the GPS in the car.
