I have a 2010 and I'm looking for the gen 6 v10.1 upgrade. Seeing as how it's just a USB install, I'm looking to do it myself. Anyone know where I can get the update? Downloadable?

The USB is connected to a Lexus Laptop and the proprietary software installs the updated map data from the drive. The dealership must purchase a one-time-only software encryption key from Lexus Corporate to enable the update from their laptop.
One more way the dealership can eliminate DIY and genereate more service revenue.

You'd think the competition from portable GPS, smart phones etc. would drive dealership prices for updates down a bit, but it doesn't appear to be happening.

i wouldn't pay 2 cents for the nav upgrade unless it included 3d maps, panoramic views, buildings, remember best route, etc. Just to get a few additional streets/poi is ridicules.
i've said this before, but i'll say it again - navigon on my iphone is 10 times better than the nav in my car and lexus just doesnt get it.

Have you noticed any improvement after the firmware update?

I asked my dealer about this specific TSIB and was told it is just a procedural change to the regular navi update. i.e., nothing new as far as firmware goes.

I asked about the CDDB update and referenced the TSB that specifies the update that should be done each quarter while I had my car in for the dash clip and seat cushion TSBs. I was told that they were having real problems with frying the hard drives and ruining the entire computer in the car and Lexus did not have a fix for them yet. As a result, they were not going to do any updates to the car right now.
I called Lexus directly to ask them what was up with the updates and they said that they would call me back. No call yet... Anyone else heard of this?

What is the "CDDB update" and why does if have to be done every 3 months?
