Default Replacing Nav DVD - Please Help

Good morning:
I have a 2006 GS300 and per the suggestions here, I purchased the latest nav dvd from Sewell (thanks). Silly me, thought it would be a no-brainer to switch them. I'm aware the system is in the glove box, but I'm unable to figure out how to access the unit. I have looked for some sort of a guide everywhere, but have had no luck.

Will somebody please offer suggestions on how I can do this?

Thanks much.
Jan

Wow, thank you for the quick response. I returned to edit my typo of GT to GS (it's very early here) and read your suggestion.

Yes, I did order and receive the 4th gen. However, I looked in the glove box and did not see an eject button. Am I that mechanically challenged? While that could be, the entire unit is covered and seems boxed in. Clearly I'm missing something.

Thanks,
Jan

my 2006 GS430 don't have an eject button either. You have to do it from the touch screen. I forgot which menu but the button is on the top right saying something about map dvd.

Thank you both. I'll go check it and hope! I did look in the manuals (both vehicle and nav manual) but it's likely I wasn't looking in the correct places. At least I'm glad this doesn't require a dealership visit!

Crossing fingers!

Many thanks again!

Ciao!

Also note, after you put in the new DVD your Nav will take a bit of time to update. My guess is the Map DVD also have a few minor fix.

Oh, one fix is removing the tech menu. Tech menu is a hidden menu. It has other settings and also the satelite signal display each satelite and it's signal strength. But the one most beneficial is disable the gray out when your car is moving. Forgot what that called. I don't know if the update remote this tech screen completely or move it elsewhere.
