Hi all

Just picked up a 2016 GS350 F sport (NGP on Rioja red) about 2 weeks ago. Since it's used, I'm missing a few things and hoping the community can help out.
  • Also the SD card that came with my car is from a 2018, so my vehicle can't update. What SD card part number should I look for to buy the correct card? (I don't want to go through the dealership that sold me the car anymore as they've given so much grief I'd rather just buy it rather than deal with them any longer) My head unit keeps glitching turning on and off every 2-3 mins. still covered under factory warranty, but the service dept I took it to needs the correct SD card before they can move forward with diagnosis.
  • I am also missing the front passenger floor mat. I've checked with a couple Lexus dealers, and they only sell by the set. Looked online, and same thing. Does anyone know a site or store where I can get just the one by any chance?

Other than those minor things, the car's a blast and I love it! The community here is awesome too! Thanks in advance for the help!

My car was missing the driver mat as well so I just went ahead and bought the all weather mats.

Congrats. I'm almost positive that you cannot buy carpet mats piece by piece. You will likely have to buy all 4 pieces together. If you want aftermarket, you probably can find them in sets front or rear.

I assume you have RWD? If you are AWD I have a new carpet mat you can have. Just pay for the shipping.

Thank you. Yeah I might have to go that route.

Im thinking to do that too. It’s just im in SoCal, so I don’t really have a huge need for those. They’ll come in handy snowboarding. (Though the backseats don’t fold :/)

Anyone know the part # for SD card btw? Checking if I can find a Toyota or get lucky on eBay..

Why didn't the service department you took your car to tell you the part number for the SD card to update your maps? They would know better than us.
Any particular reason you bought the car with this issue or did you only find about the problem afterwards? Really should be something the dealer you purchased from should fix with no out of pocket expense to you.

I'm guessing the dealership he bought the car from is not a Lexus dealership...maybe even an independent used car dealer.

Correct. I purchased from a Ford dealership.

The SD card is on a 2 week back order and just checking to see if I can get lucky maybe find on ebay or somewhere. I knew about the SD card, and they supposedly got the corrected one for me but didn't. I also knew about the nav screen glitch from CL forums and it is still covered under factory warranty.

You’d be surprised on how big our trunk is! I was able to fit my snowboard in the trunk, in the left/right orientation rather than front/back.

Say what?? I guess I'll have a chance to check in a couple months when I take the board out of storage
