How many Gen4 owners have upgraded to the 10.1? I'm currently rocking 8.1 and would like to upgrade as well.

This site makes you order stuff. I just ordered the newest dvd. I probably would have been fine with version 7.1.
I am going on a road trip next week so I figured it was justified

Nope. Even if you upgrade to the latest version you'll still be stuck with those lame graphics unless you try to retrofit the navi.

Can you still unblock your navi to be ably to use it while driving with the 10.1 ver?

My 01 has Generation 2/3. I purchased it 5 months ago and found it had the original disc from new which was 1.1 I updated to 9.1 and the only difference was more updated info. It does not change anything with regards to viewing. Same system, latest info.

That's why I have given up on the in-dash navigation, in addition to the ridiculous inability to route while moving. I just use my Garmin now. The better portables are easily upgradeable, better than any in-dash nav, , and portable. At this point, I'd prefer to never have another in-dash navigation, but the nicer cars don't give you much of a choice.

So the ancient (my 2001 UL) Lexus will accept the 9.1? I hope that is the case.

I am with Carmelstev, the manufacturers should ditch the in-dash nav capabilities entirely.

ANY of the disc model NAV's can be upgraded just need to get the right disc for the right generation system.

originally my 2001 gs430 came with a gen 2/3 but it soon crapped out on me and i upgraded to the gen 4 unit and a 8.1 disc but im fixing to buy the gen 4 10.1. just make sure you buy the disc MADE for your unit or your car

I just upgraded my 2002 V 4 to 10.1. You can still do the override as before.

I lost my override when I went from 2.1 to 7.1. The button is there and is still clickable, but after I enable it, the system locks me out of using most of the nav buttons, even when the car isn't moving. I need to turn the car off and back on to regain functionality.

Haven't tried with the 10.1 disc yet, will do that soon.
