Default Gen 8 Nav Map Updates

Does anyone here know what's going on with Lexus Navigation Maps updates? All trace of any information is gone from the Lexus Drivers site. The 2017 updates were apparently released around last November year but seem totally unavailable. The Gen 08 update (PT219-GEN08-17 GEN8 V17.1 Nav Map Update) for 2015-2016 models appears to be available. But I've tried ordering it through several dealers and had the orders cancelled as either "unavailable" or "indefinitely backordered".

Has anyone gotten this update?

Jeff

Have you asked a Lexus dealership's Technology Specialist?

I bought this micro SD card update and posted pictures of the bag it came in listing models for which it is designed. According to the dealer's parts guy, I could install it myself so I did. It cost me $210. My postings are on this site under "2015 Navigation Question." I bought this in mid-December.

Thanks. It was your posting here that made me go looking for it so I know it exists. But it really has disappeared since.
