Those update instructions were written by a moron. Lexus corporate has a lot of them.

Sewell has a program last year to trade-in the 2008 disk for the 2009 disk. I think it was a $75 rebate which meant the net upgrade cost was only $100. If they do that again, I will bite because it's a reasonable price for a new map. Garmin charges around that I think.

I update mine every year when it comes out. But I notice with the new Sewell lexus format, the discount for CL member is MUUUUUUCCCCH less compare to before using CL911M of CLUBLEXUS coupon code. It used to be around $180 with shipping and now it's close to $205 with shipping!!!! THe discount is only about 7% compare to 12% from before. Great job Sewell Lexus

rip out the console, console side trim, door panel trim, dash side panel, knee airbag and glox box to eject a disc? ....lol (yes i know it can be done through the touchscreen headunit)

sounds like a dealership money grabber, hour+ labour to "install dvd disc"

Which car do you have? The hardest would be IS. I can assist you with instructions if you need.

So far I have, and but that means I did it once.

If Sewell continues their trade-in program it makes sense to me. $175 is too much, but if it is $100 after trade-in, I would pay that.

It appears that people have been able to get versions 8.1 and 9.1 working with the loading.kiwi file.
