Navigation update

My 2003 Lexus GS has the navigation system that is no longer supported. I was wondering if anyone has found an aftermarket for other way to update the navigation to current maps?

I'm in the same situation with my 2004. I've heard and read that a newer Toyota Navigation Disk Drive can be swapped out and will then take the new releases of the maps. I'm not going to do this, but that's what my research has bubbled up.

If I were you guys, I would either 1) use a windshield mount and use your phone as a navigation tool so you don't have to worry about updating maps by a disc, or 2) upgrade to an aftermarket radio that has navigation or apple car play or android auto to get map updates. Doing the second you will have the sacrifice the cd changer and/or amp and subwoofer if you go without upgrading amp.

I agree with just using your phone. Even if you could update the map, the factory navigation system is not very good. It is 20 years old after all.
