Map update.
Does anyone know if the new map updates (2013) are user installable.
I called the dealer and it seems they want $169 for the software and $100 LABOR to do a software install which I gather is on a USB.
seems pricey for a software install.
Car: 2010 IS-F

$100 would have made me rethink that though...
Be nice to know if someone had done it successfully though. I think the issue is some password/code/sequence they do to make it work. Otherwise you could just by a DVD on eBay from last year and someone who is upgrading. I was told to avoid this route.

The map update is only able to be done through the dealer unfortunately... The USB key is only used to "unlock" the navigation update tool used by the dealership.. basically a software license. So unless you have a Techstream, the Lexus nav update tool, and the USB drive, you're going to have to go to the dealer.

Don't like the $100 labor charge for it.
