Default toyotamaps.online map update

Has anyone tried http://toyotamaps.online/ to update their navigation? I'm tempted to since they said they'll provide a downloadable file and the activation code.

I would be leery of any 3rd party offering these. Nothing about this website looks legitimate.

Almost tempted to try it. Be interested to know the legality of them offering this, *if* they do not outright fleece you.

They take PayPal, you have 180 days to open a PayPal case and get a full refund if it doesn't actually work.

I thought the same thing. PayPal makes you work for it sometimes, but they generally don't let you get took.

The site has both EU and US Maps. I submitted an order with them. I'll see how it goes but they haven't requested an additional info. It could be the time difference. It should be fairly simple since they will need TIS to get the activation code and apparently you can order the map update from the dealer, put it on a USB and plug it in.

Definitely get that kinda vibe, but you never know, we'll see how it turns out i guess. I'd like to upgrade mine, looks weird on the screen when i'm driving on a new main highway and it's all black and not showing some of the roads.

Right! $75 vs $300 though. I rather lose $75 than pay $300 at the stealership. Plus they accept Paypal so I'm still somewhat protected.
