Default What happened to lexusnavigation.com?

2010 RX350 in Canada. Understand that map updates (still original version in vehicle) are done via USB (not DVD). Is that right? Can any of this be done online? Don't mind paying if it is simple and effective.

Responding to the title ..

Just a thought ...
The web site may be down in preparation of the new software

The message at that URL says “NOTICE: This domain name expired on 9/4/2017 and is pending renewal or deletion.”

Someone dropped the ball on renewing the site apparently. Looks like it was registered to Kathleen Wachs, seems she manages Lexus's Parts and Service Program. She has an e-mail listed on the whois lookup for the domain, might be worth e-mailing her about it if it's in anybody's interest.
