Default Navigation upgrade-Scam?
I have an email advertizing navigation upgrade to 11.1 for $169. It refers to LexDensoII. My email client thinks it is a scam and I'm cautious about opening any of the links. Has anyone received this or know if it is legitimate? Thanks,
Gene

It is legitimate

It's not a scam, but it's spam

I got the email too and opened it with no problem. There's a link to the Lexus web site showing the reduced MRSP. Isn't Denso a map provider?.

The "fine print" says labor extra. What is the typical charge on a 460?

Probably around $100. Unless some dealers reduce what they're currently charging. Doubtful, but maybe?
