What IS the latest cd for the GPS for 2004 LS

I purposely avoided getting OEM NAV in our 2006 LS by only shopping for and purchasing a Premium version (no NAV). With the SC430 I had no choice on the NAV as all SC430s have the OEM NAV system. As an aside in the 2004 SC430 the NAV and Audio/stereo system are pretty tightly integrated and interdependent via the car's internal data network - making it difficult (not impossible but way harder than it should be) to upgrade and/or remove and replace NAV and audio system with more modern gear.
I suggest purchasing the lasted available update disk for the LS430 while they are still available (got mine on ebay) just to have the latest available maps and use it as a backup to other more current navigation aids.

When I was looking for my second LS I considered buying a non-Nav car, which seemed like that was all there was when looking, but I really wanted the backup camera without having the look of aftermarket. To me, that's really the only reason to buy one with the factory Nav.
I need to upgrade my Nav disk to the latest just in case like you mention. First I need to find out what I have and make sure it's not the latest, I doubt very seriously it is but I need to double check first.

I didnt hear any one say they couldnt stand the LS-430, did you?? Maybe I missed that post. Criticizing areas of the car serves to improve the car. Keeping your mouth shut and accepting failure just makes the failure last longer.
