If you didn't negotiate an update when buying,they didn't do it.

I'll buy it if it's a firmware update if it's just like a map update there's no need!

I called my sales rep and he assured me that I have the updated version. I got my car Sept 22nd.

I got mine late August and it's definitely not the latest version. Here in Texas we have lots of tollways. One of them was extended about 2 years ago. When I drive on that side of it, the nav just goes crazy and pretends I'm in a neighborhood that doesn't exist.

if you got yours in September Kajn you definitely don't have the latest version, they come out in October.

It's "worth" that much because they can charge that much and they have a monopoly on being able to provide and install the update. On the other hand, when Garmin can charge $50 for lifetime updates to their devices or include them in the cost of their device, maybe what Lexus charges isn't worth it.

For me updating every 3 years is the way to go.

Guess I'll just cross my fingers and watch for torrents. Nav updates should be free.
