well making copy of the dvd is considered pirated software, and it's not allowed per forums rules, so i was just stating it

 

Well, I just got my Navigation DVD disc today (Data Ver 3.1) and it worked. I think my gf's disc would have worked too. I found out that my map coverage area was not selected as California after I installed it so the POI's wouldn't work. The same thing happened when I installed Ver 3.1 in my car but I now have California selected and it works fine. I haven't had a chance to see what's new about it so I guess I'll experiment for a bit and update you guys in a couple of days. Just in case you guys are wondering, the part number for the Ver 3.1 is 86271-33032.

 

that's good info there! so basically with the 01+ nav (dvd), you can just stick in the new dvd disc and it will do all the trick for you huh

 

Glad to hear your NAV is back in action. Enjoy the updated POIs and any new roads!

 

That is correct, as discussed already though, just be careful if you have DATA 2000 ver.1! Once you update that one, you can't go back. I've given my old DVD update to my gf's dad for his 01 LS430. It's to keep me out of the doghouse

 

Hey guys,

I just took my car out for a bit and the map is slightly updated compared to my old one. There are now icons for parks, malls, etc. I think all NAV's after 2001 has this according to my gf. My POI's are vastly updated now. With my Ver.1, Starbucks would not show up at all, now I have like 200 something of them. (Jamba Juice as well). My route guidance have changed as well. I now have an option to choose "minimized turn route" along with the usual "Minimized distance" and "Minimized Time". So far, I am happy that I messed up my NAV this past weekend. Thanks for all your inputs. Let me know if you want to know anything from my new updated disc or if you need pictures. (Just got a Sony 5mp digi cam).

 

yeah definitely careful in throwing the disc in.

but man, that means all i need is to get the 01+ nav on the car, damn @_@

 

sorry to bring this old thread back alive but i was wondering which one is the lastest one now for the 01 GS430? I am tempted to buy one off ebay but after reading all those warnings, it got me a lil scare...pls help since i have the earliest version, which i think it is 2000 v.1 and it is so so outdated..thanks...

 

I got my friend's DVD. Its the Data ver. 03.1 but the part number is 86271-33040. I inserted it but nothing work.... Do you think there is a difference between each Lexus model? Need advise!

 

You cannot use the part number with 40 at the end.. this is for generation 4 navigation systems starting from MY 04 for all lexuses...you should be looking for a part number like 86271-33033.. the last two digits of the part number tell you the navigation generation..so you need anything that has 31,32,33...33 is the most recent version...

 

damn, I wish I could have post this earlier.... now i just waste some money on winning a ebay bid.

 

anyone have an idea when 34 will be out? I don't want to spend the $ on buying a 33 then all of a sudden 34 is due out...thanks..

 

i was told sometime late this year or early next year from the dealer...

 

i heard somewhere that since 03, the nav on the gs got changed from that on the 01 and 02 and just the dvd upgrade isn't enough. is that true, anyone knows?
