Has anyone with an RX350 gotten 9.1 yet?
I just talked to Lexus too. He put me into his computer to be authorized for an upgrade at the dealership. He seemed to think they might be able to do it now either by DVD or through the USB port. He also said it was entirely map and nothing else.

I might try to do it on Friday.

Does your vehicle have a DVD drive? If not, it needs to be updated via the hard drive. I still have not received notification that they can update the hard drive based systems at this time due to the partition size.

I have an appointment for the 9.1 upgrade Friday morning. I'll let you know how it goes.

Cruiter, when you said you called "Lexus", do you mean the dealer or the Lexus customer service? Do you have the number? Keep us posted on free upgrade.

I called Lexus customer service and explained that I think a brand new vehicle should come with the latest software. He agreed and noted in the computer that I could go to any Lexus dealer to get it done.

To this day though, I am still being told that they can't update the HDD navigation systems. I have an RX350 (not the 450), but I think they share the same Nav system.
