I just bought my 2006 GS300 awd in June and want to know if there is a new Navigation DVD available, if not how often do they update and where do I get one? Also, what does this usually cost?

Sewell Lexus / lexus-parts.com (one of our forum sponsors) offers a great deal on this to our members.

Here's a link to a recent post in our group buy forum on this item from them.

AT your local dealer, these can be priced at up to $450

has anyone done this yet? i want to know if it is worth it.

SGT

I wish they told you exactly what updates were made in the new version.

mickey99us

i think im going to call them and ask them.

mickey99us

ok i called lexus (2 dealers) one said december and the other said not until next year for the 4th gens.
now i looked at my Navi CD and it says on it Data Ver. 04.2 and on the sceen when i pulled it up it said the same. now does this mean i need to get the 6.1 or what. did lexus just dish me out old softwear?

lexuslover

just FYI - the owners with newer 06.1 nav discs on their 07 models reported the key sequence software hack to override the nanny doesn't work anymore. so if that makes a difference to you, you might want to hold off until someone figures out the new sequence...

lexuslover

email ddiller@sewell.com if you have any questions. he's much more knowledgable than your average parts guy.

the new 06.1 disc is available for $299 on their website: http://www.lexus-parts.com/partdetai...bCategoryID=93

you can also get 10% off for clublexus' discount code CL911M

also, there is a rebate for 04.x version discs - i believe it's $20 if you return it after you get the new one.

mickey99us

so i do have the old one if mine says "ver. 04.2"

Or better yet, click the group buy link I gave in my post (above) from the same place even cheaper

lexuslover

yes, they update the discs every year, usually in the fall

ah - very nice! haven't been on the vendor forum in a little while...

"you can also get 10% off for clublexus' discount code CL911M"

Will Sewell also give us 10% off on other things such as rims?

lexuslover

YES and shipping is very cheap, even on large items such as trunk liners or wheels. no tax outside of TX

With a new navigation DVD, do they update things such as icons and menus or is it really just the maps that are updated ?

lexuslover

just maps unfortunately; the overall look and buttons on your screen don't change. they do add POI info so there might be new icons for those businesses.
