Hi guys,

I would like to try to change the NAV DVD of my RX.
Did someone can tell me how to eject the NAV DVD ?

Thank You

Help! I've wondered about the same question. I'd like to replace the one that came with RX330
but would like to do it myself if possible. Has anyone done this? Thanks later, ldf

I just posted this reply to the thread referenced above:

I just upgraded my old DVD disk ver.1 to ver.03.1. The DVD player in my 2001 RX300 is a black box located to the right side of the jack in the spare tire well. I had to remove the jack to access the DVD player. Only the side of the DVD player is visible when the jack is removed.

The DVD player has a slide switch marked "open" and a slot for the DVD disk. When the open switch is slid to the right, an eject symbol is revealed behind it. The eject symbol looks like a triangle symbol /\ something like the eject button on a home DVD player. I'm not sure if the the eject symbol is acutally an active button or just a passive symbol.

When I slid the open switch the first time, the DVD disk ejected within about 30 seconds (with power on). When I did the same thing today to insert the new DVD disk, nothing seemed to happen. I tried pressing the eject symbol, and the DVD disk ejected. So, I think that the symbol may actually be an active button (sorry about the uncertainty, it was rainy and dark and I was in a parking garage with poor lighting. I was lucky to be able to see or find the DVD player at all).

The part number of the new DVD disk is 00230-DVD03-CY. It cost $250.00 plus tax.

Best regards,

How do I tell which Navigation version I, or rather my wife, has in our RX330?

What are the main upgrades / advantages to getting the new version?

To determine which version of the database is currently in your vehicle, touch the “DVD” switch on the Menu screen. It displays the map database version.

The map database is normally updated once a year. Contact your Lexus dealer for info.

The changes include updated info on new streets, roads, POI, etc. I believe you are entitled to one free upgrade for your RX330 over a three year peoiod.

That's the first I've heard of that. Where did you hear this?

I took delivery of our RX330 a few weeks prior to the V3.1 DVD NAV update being available to dealers. My RX330 came with V2.1 . I called Lexus Corporate explained that I had the old version and that the new version was available and was shipping with current build vehicles(my build was 7/03). I took Lexus Corporate and the dealer about a week to reasearch, but Lexus Corporate and the dealer eventually gave me the V3.1 DVD NAV update DVD.

Does Toyota have only ONE DVD NAV update for all vehicles? I was browsing around in a Toyota Sienna forum, and the Sienna's current DVD NAV version is also v3.1. Can you use a Sienna NAV DVD in an RX330?
