Good day,
I have recently purchased a 2009 Lexus RX 450H LXE that needs a navigation update. I can't get a recent update from any dealer in Gauteng and I really would like to update the maps as a lot of changes has taken place on our roads since 2009. Would anyone know where I can get an update or how I can update the navigation?
Thank you kindly.

I checked. It is DVD based. You will have to find out what specific DVD works with your vehicle and replace the DVD in the right side of the cargo compartment. Lift the tool cover and you should see a small plastic plate to remove. The DVD is in here and all you do is push the eject button and replace the DVD. It updates everything. It is likely that it will only update through about 2016 or 17.

Here is a video on replacing the Map DVD once you get a copy.

Either the Lexus dealer or from someone with a copy. Since you have a 2009 450H it is most likely that Lexus have discontinued yearly updates for a 10 year old car.

If this applies to your vehicle, it looks like a lengthy process hence the dealer not wanting to work with your issue.
Hope it turns out well for you.

According to this, to update your Nav Map, only the dealer can do this with some access key tool that loads in your Nav HDD.

Per Lexus Wiki:
"Introduced in 2009 as a 2010 model year vehicle, the RX 450h (GLV10/GLV15) premiered alongside its non-hybrid counterpart, the RX 350."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_RX
So really there is no 2009 RX450H
It was sold in 2009 as a 2010 model.

Yes. Thanks for the responses. It does seem I have a 2009 (car registered in 2009) but the shape is the same as the 2010 shape.
I have tried Amazon, ebay, etc. However, they only advertise the North America dvd...I'm in South Africa.
I will continue to look and let you know how it pans out. Thanks for the responses.

Well, I guess allowing for inflation, since it's now 2021, my installation quote was $425, plus cost of update, which he said they would have to order. And BTW, the 2009's, according to this gentleman, will only be updated to 2015. I think I'll look for the disc on ebay and do it myself....again. (My 2009 is dated March 2008, which I assume makes it a true 2009. Waiting on my disc to arrive from Bonanza. Thank you, CaptStumpy!)

If you have a true 2009 Gen 5 its a 5 minute job.
I got my update from here:
https://www.bonanza.com/listings/200...?fref=XaCLHKl1
If you live on the west you want this one:
https://www.bonanza.com/listings/200...?fref=XaCLHKl1
If you have an early 2010 you can't update without a dealer.
