Hello,
Does anybody know what is the LATEST version for upgrading navigation?

I want to do it in my 06 LS430 which has never been upgraded .
Can I get it from eBay (I saw some DVDs there) and do it myself?

Who else sells them?

Thank you,

IL

For '04-'06. it's version 12.1 (2013). I ordered the upgrade DVD yesterday on eBay from Lexus of N. Miami for $149 (which includes shipping).

I updated mine at the dealership for only cost of the DVD. paid 159.

Dumb question warning -
I tried to navigate to instructions for the nav update on the Sewell site, but could not figure out how to get there.
I did find the part 86271 (which was described as the 2011 version and was discontinued), but just wanted to see the instructions for a 2005 LS430. Could you post the link?
Thanks.

Does this upgrade just mean that you get the newest maps? or does the graphical user interface look different (better, I hope).

LOL Damn, My 06 still has version 4.2 or something

The instructions for '01-'06 LS430s are the same:

My '05 has 7.1. The 12.1 upgrade disc will arrive tomorrow by FedEx.

I think I read somewhere that the newer version(s) allow for split screen viewing (maps + directions).

Display will look the same and yes there is a upgraded double screen feature now.

You can go to the Lexus site, then My Lexus, and then find a long complete description (state by state) of the changes incorporated in the lastest DVD. Then you can make a decision as to whether or not those changes would be worth the cost to you. For instance, I intentionally waited until the bypass system in construction near which I live was finally completed and included in the upgraded disc. While waiting, by route showed me driving through nearby unconstructed area, but not on a street.

Wait 2 more months for the new version (13.1)...,they come out every year in September

Yes it is easy to do. took me five mins and no issues. I have an 04 LS430 UL Black.

With the updated DVD, can anyone confirm the loss of the override shortcut for changing destination while moving? I don't want to loose that.
