Default ES350 2015 SD Card

Hi,
Just got my ES350 2015 without the SD card. Is it possible to get normal SD card from any shop and copy the content of another ES SD card and start using it.

Could anyone help please ...

SD card? I have an ES but did not know it has an SD card. I presume you are talking about the data for the NAV?

It should have come with the car. Did you ask why it was missing?

I can't say for sure, but it is hard to image that Lexus would be using an SD card-based navigation system without that system using some sort of technology that prevents the system from using copied SD cards. Otherwise, it would be unlikely that they would be able to sell very many (expensive) updates to the navigation system.

My understanding is that the SD cards cannot be copied. I believe there is some level of encryption on them.
