Default $214 for Nav Update.

i recently went to the dealer and had my nav updated to the newest firmware and maps (and they synced my iPhone for me)
for $214
seems silly to pay the prices on ebay when you can just have it done at the stealership for this price.
it's a $69,000 car, i think spending $200-$300 on updates is not a big deal....

p-bateman I just bought the 9.1 nav update for my gen 4 2005 for $79 on eBay. I agree with you paying $199 on eBay that some lexus stores or lexus parts stores are selling vs getting it done at the stealership for better service and $15 more, however if you really dig hard on eBay...searching all different ways like "toyota 9.1" "lexus 9.1" "toyota nav disc" and spell disc both ways (disk) and abbreviate nav vs navigation there are TONS of discounted updates out there.

You just need to be careful of the ones with bad feedback ratings...I clicked on this one guy selling for $49 with no picture and his recent feedback cited several people saying the disc was a copy and it didn't work. However for some strange reason he had hundreds of others say that it worked great and he was a great seller! Go figure.

Good point about paying high end retail on eBay vs stealership. I like low end wholesale prices on eBay!

+1, Ebay is the way to go , as long as you deal with sellers with 99% or higher feedback

Members at this price it is certainly a pirated DVD and not an OEM navigation disk.

I'm sorry but we don't allow discussions of stolen software on Club Lexus.

There are 'real' Lexus dealers selling this on ebay, but not for $79. You can also get it from our forum vendors at a discount https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...er-09-1-a.html (and use our CL discount codes 'clublexus' or 'cl911m')
