2009 Navigation update (override works)
I just want to report the 2009 update works fine with my 2001 RX300 which has the original 2000 ver.1 DVD.
The DVD I'm using is Lexus part # PT219-GEN23-09
Just eject the old DVD and pop in the new one, takes about 1 minute to update the system.
Becareful the map zone might default to other states which will cause destination icons to gray out, make sure to swicth back to the state you are in from " Search Area ".
The official Lexus MSRP for 2009 update DVD is only $199, you can find it at sponsor reseller website with coupon code to save few bucks.

I just found out about this override feature. I cannot make it work on my 2003 Generation 2 unit.
Instructions:
Press Menu
Volume
Upper Left, Lower Left, Upper Left, Lower Left
Hold Override
This is not working for me. I do not see a service menu after the upper/lower sequence. Am I to try something different?

Gen 2/3 V9.1 override did not work for me too. The override is done by pressing Menu--DVD then move the cursor up, down, up, down and then right....it's definitely gone from the V9.1
Also what's interesting is it also updates the firmware and removed my override capability in the version 8.1.

This should work for your 2002 RX300
2010 10.1 update disk for GEN 2 and 3 Lexus Part #: PT219GEN2310
To remove the disk, try access spare tire in the trunk, remove the jack. The NAV disk unit is on the right side of the jack.
slide the disk eject switch to (left or right? can't remember) and hold to eject the disk.
