Default Firmware Update?

For all the technology specialists out there, is there a FIRMWARE upgrade available for the 2013 GS350 navigation system? I have seen people that have a higher version than mine. It seems the latest version is V6613850, but no one knows about at the PA, NJ dealerships.

I'm hoping this will solve the random slow nav start up and the lack of e-mails on the Galaxy S4.

thx

You are right...Just checked with my friend with Lexus in California in charge of the technology in our cars. There is an update to the firmware with the navigation system that end with 850. Mine ends in 800 like yours. Lexus is calling Lexus of Cherry Hill, NJ to let them know that they can dend equipment to do so. New firmware must have the latest updates of software for maps which I have-2012. Dealers will be informed next week of the firmware updates. Pass the word.

Fix some bluetooth pairing problem. There a TSBs for it. I got mine updated last month free of charge. Dealer just have to plug in their USB with new software and take couple minutes to load to the GS.

I'm confused - by what Bluetooth pairing has to do with a nav update. My car shows a Bluetooth software version. I'm curious just what is in that nav update - what will change with the 800>850 update?

It's a firmware update, not a nav update.
