Hello,
My LS460L 2007 being a Korean spec has navigation system operating a Korean language. How do I change this to English and update to a middle east map, any thoughts please?
I do see a Korean navigation CD in the car and there seems a CD slot in the glow box too.
I know that Techstream can do it, but I have no idea if Korea-spec cars have English as a language option. US cars can select from English or Spanish and I believe European cars (maybe Canada too?) add French, German, and Italian. There's not going to be a way to add a language to the options without flashing the unit with firmware for a different country, which I doubt Techstream would allow. Take all of this with a grain of salt though; I have extensive software experience with BMW's but am still getting to know Lexus.
The maps should be as simple as getting the right DVD for your region, assuming it exists. I would check eBay for used Lexus navigation DVD's.

Hello, Not sure if it is DVD or my car needs hard disk replacement. There is a box in the glove box where a DVD is inserted. System at the moment does not have an option of choosing other languages, Korean seems only option.

You mean in Techstream? Or in the interface itself? If you're looking in Techstream, then yeah, sounds like you're out of luck. I agree with the suggestion of trying to source a replacement unit from another country.
