Default Upgrading nav unit 01 LX470

I searched the web and forums for this answer but got a lot of random information. I used to own a 2012 F150 with a pretty bada$$ Nav unit. Check the weather, stocks, sports etc. I was wondering if i could do any kind of update or upgrade for my Nav unit. Obviously i cannot put another nav unit in since my AC is tied in. The graphics look terribly old and doesn't really have any features. Any thoughts?? Thanks guys

You can upgrade, but only to the extent of new roads on the Nav screen...I think Lexus wants a bit under $200 for the update DVD, which stays in the disk drive under the front passenger seat.

If you're looking for apps beyond just navigation, you're looking at a much later model LX, and probably a subscription to Sirius XM...or a phone or tablet separate from the nav unit.

You might check the Electronics forum on ih8mud.com for more info.
